Episode 2

The Tonight Show roared into its new existence last night; would show two be a letdown? Of course not. Tonight’s show 100% felt like an episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy was right in all his interviews prior to the show, the Late Night Show he’s been doing the last six months will in fact be the Tonight Show. Last night was seemed ‘off’ of his usual antics, but Tuesday’s show…quintessential Fallon.

Already, I seem familiar with the new open and new theme song. In another Late Night bit, Roots bass player Mark Kelley walks up next to Jimmy. A big kudos to NBC and snowboarder, Jamie Anderson. Fresh off her gold medal in Sochi last week, she apparently didn’t care to be present in the closing ceremonies, that or she’s flying back. A nice get for the Tonight Show to have an Olympic Gold Medalist on the show during the Olympics.

Next up, another Late Night bit with a Bachelor re-enactment. Questlove and Tariq performed an actual scene from the Bachelor last night and it was way funnier than the actual scene.*

*Not that i would know cause i don’t watch the show…Nikki is soooo the front runner. (Melissa's Note: She sooo is, especially since he didn't let anyone else meet his kid, parents and baby's momma)!

Now onto the notes from the show!

-  Line of the Night Nominee: “HOT CARD!” after the Ligety Split joke

-  Skelton Luge should not be an Olympic Event

-  Al Roker has a forecast of being cloudy with a chance of meatballs

-  Pro’s and Con’s theme the same from Late Night

-  The Ragtime Gals - R. Kelly “Remix” might be the best of these he’s done, sorry JT and you bringing SexyBack. The Ragtime Gals really set the mark here and showed new Tonight Show viewers what Jimmy Fallon’s musical bits are all about. This was was tremendous. Watch here: http://youtu.be/r2LiFsdrXF4 

- LORNE MICHAELS SIGHTING!!!! (on the bump to break he was at the writer/producer table on the stage floor

- Jerry Seinfeld was Jerry Seinfeld. I’m not really a fan of his standup but Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is SO GREAT! I love it

- Fallon’s Seinfeld impression is one of the greatest impressions Fallon does. replay that back, close your eyes, and you can’t tell the difference

- Line of the Night Nominee: “I love the set, I love the rich kid, new york chess set…I would move the Chrysler building to King 4”

-  Line of the Night Nominee: You know what my bedtime story was at night: DARKNESS!”

-  Seinfeld is so right…the NBC Olympic music really does suck you in - its unreal. John Williams has such power, and Jimmy was right, seeing those mountains you do cry

-  Where’d Jamie Anderson go on that bump to break!? Back to Sochi?

-  For those of you that don’t get the Kristen Wiig as Harry Styles bit…Google Late Night Michael Jordan Interview…Last time Kristen Wiig was on the show, she dressed up like Michael Jordan and did an interview. And this interview seems completely improvised, at least with Wiig’s answers (Melissa's Note: Kristen Wiig is in one of my all time favorite reality shows, The Joe Schmo Show - She portrayed "Dr. Pat" and had to be "in character any time she was on the set with Matt Kennedy Gould - this is where Kristen honed her improvisational skills)

-  Favorite Food: Carnitas

-  This show is what every Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will be like. Guests being goofy and having the time of their life

-  What would a Lady Ga-Ga song be without spoken word

-  Fallon brings back his “Hope to see you tomorrow” line at the end of the show, as well as him running up and down the aisle.

THIS…is the Tonight Show folks…last night was just a teaser.
