We all knew it would happen, right? Jimmy Fallon and
Justin Timberlake are like two peas in a pod. Like Apple Pie and Ice Cream like <INSERT TWO THINGS THAT GO REALLY WELL TOGETHER>. The minute we all got news
Fallon would take over the Tonight Show we all knew JT would be a guest either
on his first night (like on Late Night) or at least in that first week*
* I call Justin Timberlake, ‘JT’ cause we’re super close like that, and I too, brought sexy back
I’ve been excited for this episode all week, so lets get
to it!
- Show 5 and we see Fallon, settled into his job. Any nerves he showed on the first 2 shows were gone towards the end of the
week
- Heated runways!?! That sounds like a great idea! And Fallon dancing around as a runway attendant made me laugh out loud*
* I live by myself so whenever I do laugh out loud in my
empty apartment late at night, I’m always slightly embarrassed with myself, and
also sad, cause no one is able to share my joy with me**
** hashtag sorry not sorry
- THANK YOU NOTES!! I would love to be in the
writers room for thank you notes writing day. It’s gotta be one of those where
so much gets bounced around. Definitely a time for the writers to show off
- The best part of Thank You Notes is when Fallon
just goes off and improvises with Higgins and totally gets off course
- Quote of the Night Nominee: Thank you, Biathlon,
for sounding like a contest that could go either way
- Thoughts during the commercial break…How will
Fallon introduce History of Rap 5 cause you know they’re going to do it
- Side Note: one of the coolest things I think
Fallon does, and has done, is having the Vinyl covers out for all the musical
guests. Classic old school turning into new school, bust has that old school
feel (Melissa's Note: I noticed this too, Clint! It is cool bringing out the out school and the larger vinyls show off the cover art and give the artist a larger and better presence on screen than just slapping the CD on the desk)
- HISTORY OF RAP 5!!!! Greatest thing Fallon has
ever created! Watch Here: History of Rap 5 (Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake)
- Version 5 is up there with Version 2 and 3 as
the best there’s been
- In case you are unfamiliar with History of Rap,
this kind person has posted all 4 others as 1 clip on the Youtubes. Take a
look! its 19 minutes and 30 seconds worth your time…WATCH IT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
- And a production note for all you TV nerds out
there like me, the addition of the steady cam to the arsenal of cameras has
added a tremendous new look to the show other pedestal cameras and jib cameras
can’t
- I wonder what it’s like to be best friends with
JT…TALKIN’ TO YOU JIMMY!
- This interview with JT is SO good!
- “The beef, or the chicken in a Taco Shop!” Remember
these two guys’ interview two times ago, when they first talked about this, and
they went full Michael Jackson, into a ‘STAR-BUCKS GIFT-CARD!, IT’S A STAR
BUCKS GIFTCARD!”
- Not only is JT bringing sexy back but he also
seems to be bringing the button the top collar of a shirt back
- JT must really love Fallon to not only stop by
in the middle of his tour, but be on for the whole show, and bring the band in
to perform a song. JT is the best and mixed with Jimmy, even better! The
Argument can be made, JT is the best guest Jimmy regularly has on his
show.
Aside from the greatness that is Olympic Curling on
NBCSN, the Tonight Show, this week was the only other live programing on NBC…SO
great…SO great. And don’t forget to show Seth Myers some love on Late Night on Monday.
I’ll be honest, I was little apprehensive of Fred Armisen as the band leader,
but after seeing this tweet from the show, I’m no longer worried. They sound
terrific. Watch 15 seconds here: http://instagram.com/p/
