Night 2 of Lucky Charms and Jimmy
Fallon… Is this a new tradition? As I upon those scrumptious marshmallows lets
get to the show! Denzel, Shaun White and, say what you want to say, Sara
Bareilles are all setting up for a great Tonight Show. Maybe we can get some
hashtags, you know, the one Jimmy’s been teasing us with for a week.
Think about this: You loyal watchers of the
Tonight Show have heard this theme song nine times now and has it gotten old
yet? NO WAY!
It almost gets better each night. Whats even more crazy, if you watched all the
Late Night’s Jimmy did, you heard ‘Here I Come” 969 times. Did it every get
old? Not one bit!
MONOLOGUE: First thought right off
the bat, The Roots have morphed into terrific actors! They do so much more now
than they used to, in terms of comedy sketches. They are way more than
musicians, and really, lets be honest, we all tune in to see what hairstyle
Questlove has and what crazy bow tie he’s sporting.* Jimmy botching the joke
was hilarious, the re-joke, made that butterfinger joke way better than any
writer ever intended it to be.** Last time I saw Jimmy work this hard was on
Hashtags “WorstCarIEverHad”…seriously folks, this is hilarioushttp://youtu.be/KDMemUSaTVY?t=2m25s.
* McConaughey HEY..HO… (Melissa's Note: Yes, I love seeing the awesome Questlove bowties)
** You better not lay a hand on
my…crap…You better not lay a hand on my…RATS!

HASHTAGS: WHAT!? They changed theme song
to Hashtags?!?! I don’t ever get mad at the things Jimmy does, but you can’t
change the theme to Hashtags from the Late Night version! Oh well. Hashtags is
much like Leno’s staple, Headlines, in that the writers can take a well
deserved break and let us, the viewers, write the show for them. Tonight’s
hashtags didn’t disappoint. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZTk8FWPcm0
Wastepaper Basketball: Solid digital
original and guest starring Lebron James. Looking at the Heat’s schedule they
played the Knicks on Saturday February 1st, meaning that Bron Bron had to have
filmed this sketch with Jimmy on Friday January 31st… (this is how my brain
works) Watch it here: Wastepaper
Basketball (Jimmy Fallon & LeBron …
GUESTS: Love Denzel Washington. Has he
made a movie that isn’t great? Ever since I saw this SNL Parody trailer of
Unstoppable http://screen.yahoo.com/unstoppable-trailer-000000405.html it’s all I can think of when I see him.
Shaun White is awesome too. And some
interesting stories from Sochi.
Like the honesty from him. Wait here a second…Shaun White named a
snowboard trick after a steak he ate the night before!? Thats awesome!
MUSICAL GUEST: Sara Bareilles…wait… She
sings another song thats not Brave, Love Song or King of Anything? (Yes I did
an iTunes search of ‘most popular’ to get that). Songs aside, another beautiful
staging done for the musical guest. I wonder what the look on Jimmy’s face was
when he was told of his new budget?
