Episode 18

EIGHTEEN!


On paper this looks like one of Jimmy’s weakest show, but I’ve been surprised before on shows that I have zero intention that I’ll like. So let’s see what Jimmy and the ensemble have in store for us!

Monologue:  I wonder if other late night comedy hosts dream of having the chemistry Higgins and Jimmy have. In all honesty, Craig Ferguson and Josh Robert Thompson aka, “Geoff the Robot Skelton” come real close in on air improv chemistry. It’s just that a lot of people don’t watch their show. Thompson really does drive the Late Late Show and their banter is quite funny, but its nothing like what Higgins and Jimmy have.

Time to Rhyme, an awesome new bit, that I, for a second, was going to be Slow Jamming the News.* It turned into a bit that Jimmy does at the end of “Dance Your Hat and Gloves Off” where he always stares into the camera and rhymes…for example:

Thank you, all you boys and girls and friends and fans out there in TV land. Just grab your gal and tell your pal about the crazy game with the crazy name, making a scene on your boob tube screen. No way to lose when you get the news, when all you gotta do is wear your dancing shoes. And you got no need to frown when it all goes down, just dance around when you hear the sound. Just move your feet, when you feel the beat, cause it’s your only duty to shake your booty…. Yeah you get the idea… I could’ve just sent you a link, but I’m devoted to the craft of transcribing.

*Which I am waiting for to arrive on the Tonight Show…

Audience suggestion box wouldn’t be complete without an appearance of Simon and Garfunkel. Suggestion Box: Black Simon and Garfunkel Si…

YAHOO ANSWERS!!!! I loved this the first time (Audience Suggestion Box: Yahoo! Answers (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) ) and even better the second. Suggestion Box: Yahoo! Answers with Audra McD… Really, it’s amazing! They got 5-time Tony Award winning Audra McDonald to play along with this bit. 

GUESTS: We’re going to combine the guests tonight because, lets be honest, these aren’t really A-List people. I do like the hand hug though… I do it all the time… Maybe. Shailene Woodley doing her best Food Network impression with raw garlic and horseradish, which looks much like something else, but if it clears your sinuses…. My goodness does this girl not look like Emma Watson!? Just throw an English accent on her and the two are one. 

When was the last time we saw 2 in 1 sweater ping pong on the Tonight Show?! This is why this show is great and not like any other talk show! They play games that we all are jealous of, and want to play. Double Turtleneck Ping Pong with Shailene Woo…

Here are my thoughts on Artie Lange… He’s looking and acting more and more like Drunk Uncle…

Beck was solid on SNL and he was solid again tonight on Jimmy. Really liked the stage setup on this too with the stage lights on the side - Very cool feel to it.
