I realize Jimmy Fallon has been mentioned here before, even in a thread title, but that was with Timberlake. IMHO, Jimmy deserves his own thread, which I posted in April, so I finally decided to do something about it. I wasn't sure how his format would translate to Late Night, but its been much more funny than I anticipated. Granted, I will admit I rarely watch live, I usually wait for the youtube videos the next day: https://www.youtube.com/user/latenight/videos
The Jon Hamm bit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcKT0vbMhkU&list=UU8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g) was hilarious as well as Morgan Freeman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRKVQcbIByo&list=UU8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g), and that's just in the last few episodes. For whatever reason I find his stuff to be consistently hilarious.
Any other Fallon fans? Jimmy Favorites?

I kinda hate that announcer guy. He'll land on a joke that gets a laugh, and then BEAT IT TO DEATH BY INTERRUPTING JIMMY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER

Many (most) times I enjoy him. I could see how some could be annoyed.
-
He is much better than I thought he would be
-
I'm on the fence about him.
-
I think having The Roots as the house band was a genius idea. Whoever's it was.
-
i love jimmy.
the old late night platform was played. so played.

Yeah totally. Back when it was a white male host, opening with a monologue, then maybe a skit, followed by 2 guests and a musical act it really sucked. Jimmy changed everything!

just drink some herbal tea and relax, pal.

Great story about this in questloves book:
Jimmy mentioned wanting to do it once. Questlove thought it was just talk. They were on some show together and Questlove is walking back to their dressing room and walks in on Fallon and the roots crew are trying to do a human pyramid. Jimmy asked them again about the show and they decided to do it.

He's very good at creating viral content.
-
he's pretty effing horrible at interviewing guests though. seth meyers has been at it for like two months and already runs circles around him in that area.

people watch late night? weird.

Yeah

I'm not a fan of his but I understand why people are.
He has the best guests by far.

Good nachos. Sometimes I see 'clams there...

YouTube.

Pre show planning:
Jimmy: "Hey guys, big show tonight, what do you have planned"
Staff: "We're too lazy to think of like, a 5 minute skit or any new jokes, just play catch phrase with the mom from Modern Family"
Jimmy: "GREAT! BOYISH CHARM DON'T FAIL ME NOW!"
(FWIW that boyish charm gets me every time. I mean, how much fun is Jimmy? :love:)

I loved the will ferrell/chad smith drum off
-
i thought he was garbage on late night or w/e he was on before, but i have done a 180 and like what he has done on the tonight show to this point

be sure to say hi to great rick daris friend and former rick daris roommate eric thorsell the next time you are there.
-
cf3 is such a jackass sometimes
-
I like Jimmy a lot.

Cameron Diaz fan outed

Playing games with celebrities during their interview. Genius.

I just hope Chels keeps her 30 minute format at her next stop
