Being a big fan of "Saturday Night Live", I at first never really enjoyed Jimmy Fallon's work that much. I thought he was talented, but not very funny. But then I decided to get his best - off, mostly because I'm an "SNL" completist who makes it a task to get every dvd related to the show on the market (so far I have everything but "The Best Of Will Ferrell, Volume 1" and "Christmas"). So I went home to watch it, not expecting to be blown away. However, I wound up laughing pretty much the whole way through.

This dvd focuses on most of Jimmy's principle characters. Among the best are a hilarious edition of "Jarret's Room", radio shock jock Joey Mack from Z - 105, Boston Teen Pat Sullivan and Nick Burns, computer guy. The two best sketches are a montage of his many impressions and a hysterical "Celebrity Jeopardy" with Jimmy doing a phenomenal Adam Sandler impersonation.

Overall, this may be the best "best - of" yet. The only sketches I wish were here are "Wake Up Wakefield" and "Top O' The Morning". Other than that, this is an excellent representation of Jimmy Fallon's work on "Saturday Night Live".

I loved this dvd. It is one of the more hilarious SNL dvds out there. This dvd will not let you down - I laughed through the entire thing. My favorite parts of the dvd were the celebrity impressions, nick burns, and update...but the whole thing was very funny. Definitely worth the money!!

I honestly think that they should do a better job screening some of the reviews that are posted on this website. Those who give this DVD one or two stars are being way too unrealistic. I must admit, when Jimmy Fallon became a regular on the show, I didn't think him to be too funny, but over the years I've grown to find him very funny. He has his own brand of comedy, And he didn't borrow it from Adam Sandler! Some of you "critics" need to step back and analyze things with less of your black & white opinions and more rational, educated critique. If you like Jimmy Fallon you'll like the DVD, if you don't you probrably won't. All in all, it's well done. Props to Fallon.

As a fan of the older "Saturday Night Live", I never really like Jimmy Fallon. I felt he was very funny but not talented enough to share the stage with the likes of greats such as Will Ferell and Chris Kattan. But being an "SNL" completist who makes it a task to own every "SNL" dvd I can find, I bought "Saturday Night Live - The Best Of Jimmy Fallon". I decided to watch it immediately, thinking I wouldn't like it that much. Well, I was pleasantly surprised, because I know feel that is the best "best - of" yet.

This dvd captures most of the major roles from his 6 years as a cast member, including The Boston Teens (as the learning disbaled Pat Sullivan), Joey Mack from Z-105 (both of these sketches feature Ben Affleck, though I think the Boston Teens sketch with Affleck pal Matt Damon was funnier), his role as "Weekend Update" anchorman opposite Tina Fey (one of the best "Updates" ever), Nick Burns and Jarret from "Jarret's Room" (in a funny edition with Sean William Scott, though I wish they preferred the last appearance with Lindsay Lohan). Also, there's him on "Celebrity Jeopardy" doing a phenomenal Adam Sandler impression and a montage of his impressions, to name some of the highlights.

This dvd isn't perfect. For starters, "The Leather Man" really wasn't very funny (though Horatio Sanz elicited guffaws as stockboy Choo Choo). I would have replaced it with a "Top O' The Morning" sketch. Also, I remember the Bloder Brothers sketch from Jimmy's final episode being funnier than the one on here. And for that musical number with that band with Fallon, Horatio Sanz, Tracy Morgan and Chris Kattan, the Easter edition with Simon Cowell was funnier.

Still, this is an overall hilarious dvd. Probably my favorite "best - of" yet. Take my word. Buy this dvd and experience the phenomenal talent that is Jimmy Fallon.

If this is the same show I recently saw on NBC, "The Best of Jimmy Fallon" is definitely worth having. I had no idea Fallon did so much great stuff.

I first saw him on "Celebrity Jeopardy" (without even knowing who he was at the time) and thought he did the most phenomenal Adam Sandler I'd ever seen.
He went on to do numerous impersonations flawlessly and, by the time the show as over, I was ready to run out and buy it on DVD. Now I see I've got to wait until January.

The last couple of SNL Best Of volumes I've bought have been a little disappointing, but this one looks like a winner.

Jimmy Fallon is one heck of a great impersonator! My favorite sketches on this DVD are:

The one where he mimics Mick Jagger in the mirror;
The computer guy - so funny;
The Beegees parody with Justin Timberlake;
and finally the Weekend updates. Especially the one that Tina Fey has made a video of Fallon's musical tributes to holidays, and it goes back to Buddy Holly!
I love this DVD, and put it near my favorite Best of SNL's, like
Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler and Chris Kattan!

I have been a life long SNL fan and I have had the pleasure of seeing some great moments on SNL and seeing people go from nothing to really famous because of this show. Lorne Micheals is a hell of a star maker, and you can't deny it. He saw something in Fallon and its obvious. Adam Sandler is one of my favorite people but other than doing a movie with Drew Barrymore and playing the guitar he really doesn't have much in common with Jimmy Fallon. When Adam played guitar it wasn't for jingles, like Jimmy, Adam never did impressions on a regular basis. Also Sandler wasn't an anchor on Update. Jimmy and Adam have different material and differnt senses of humor.

Jimmy and Tina Fey brought Weekend Update back from the dead, this DVD shows a collection of Fallons better Update bits and gives you another look at the great chemestry he had with Tina.

Jimmy's impressions are phenomenal, they are accurate and funny. Sure he may laugh or break up on camera but to be honest any real SNL fan would realize he is far from the first person to do this. I've seen Sandler do it, hell I've seen Bill Murray and Gilda Radner break up, so don't just get pissed at Jimmy for laughing. Its live TV, sometimes mistakes happen.

This DVD has some great stuff on it. It includes some things you didn't see on SNL, including a dress rehersal performance of "Drinking in the Woods" This also has audio commentary and its fun to listen to two writers and Jimmy go on about a sketch and get off topic, its as though you're watching it with them.

If you don't like Jimmy don't buy this, but anyone who claims he has no talent has obviously not watched the shows Jimmy was on very closely.

With fantastic impressions and a modern, hip humor, the best of jimmy fallon is hilarious. Alot of people want to just say hes ripping off sandler. Most of these people are looking for something to use against Fallon, because they dont like him. Dont let these people miss-lead you. Sandler didnt do impressions. Sandler wasnt an anchor on weekend update, and to be honest most of fallons stuff is better then sandlers! Now granted, he will sometimes look at the camera or laugh in a sketch. He does struggle with that. But never the less, hes hilarious. GET THIS DVD!

The Barry Gibb Talkshow sketch and the video of Idiot Boyfriend are WORTH the price of purchase alone.
