Episode 21

TWENTY…0 1!


Happy St. Patricks Day and a pleasant Hangover Tuesday!

MONOLOGUE:  What a great decision to come out with a giant green hat on Jimmy! Shows how much fun he has on the show! Tariq!! I love when he comes out with the mug and interrupts Jimmy’s monologue! Just hilarious! Good to know he can do more than just sing! “Drunken Donuts!” it makes him funkin’ go nuts! St. Patrick's Day 2014 -- Monologue 

Nice to see a close to hometown Wichita St. shout out and he’s right, not a lot to do there! Based on that reporter running away and falling video, I don’t think the band see’s the monologue or some of the video elements in rehearsal. Quest laughed way too hard at that video if he was seeing for the 2nd time. Crimea Holds Election, Basketball Reporter Tak…

Ya know… I’d be perfectly okay with Jimmy speaking in an Irish accent for a whole show. 

I swear… Tonight’s show just proves that Jimmy and the gang couldn’t care less if they make other people laugh, because they make themselves laugh more than any other TV talk show. 

YES!!! Friday Jeff Musial makes his first Tonight Show appearance!!! I love how much Jimmy acts that he hates this guy. Each one of his appearances on Late Night were hilarious!

Popular Mathematics! A new segment on the show that’s a winner! Much like Seth Myers’ Venn Diagrams, it take’s two different topics or people and combines them into hilarious. Fun bit that I hope gets in the rotation. This show has so much already, just take a look at the Wikipedia game page for the show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jimmy_Fallon_sketches But here’s the new segment: Popular Mathematics: Michael Moore, Rob Ford,…

GUESTS: It’s amazing how an actor’s character from the past can just stick with you, and that’s all you can remember him by. For James Spader, it’s Alan Shore from Boston Legal. That show was so good, and he was beyond great in it. One of my favorite TV shows ever. Easily in my Top 5 list.* More truck talk! The day Jimmy finally gets a truck, he better show us what he gets! I’m so invested in this!

*Thats a different blog for a different time.

But back to Spader… What a great story this is about his childhood and the BMW motorcycle. Not only is he a great actor, but a great storyteller. James Spader Had the Ultimate Truck

KERMIT: Jimmy loves the Muppets. They were all on last show of Late Night, and now Kermit is back tonight! Gotta love the Muppets. The story of the Muppet Pipes and it being in Max’s dressing room when Conan was on the Late Night show, and then how Jimmy exposed the pipes behind glass, and made it apart of the NBC tour is all quite nice. There was a great moment on Jimmy’s last show where he talks about the Muppet Pipes and how Frank Oz came to the show once and saw the pipes for the first time in probably 50 years, and he teared up, forgetting that he and Jim Henson drew those. It’s an incredible story and explains why Jimmy and the Muppets have such a great relationship. But this gift… Awesome Kermit the Frog Has a Gift for Jimmy

And if Kermit wasn’t cool enough… He sings with Jimmy! He had to right? Kermit the Frog and Jimmy Fallon: It's Not Easy Bein…

Finally the musical guest Black 47 seems like the perfect fit to close St. Paddy’s day and they rocked it. Expect anything different?!
