Episode 38

THIRTY-EIGHT!

MONOLOGUE: “Hey, Jimmy Fallon, hit me Up!” LADY HUSKY! LADY HUSKY! What a start to the monologue. It really set the tone for the rest of the show, without question. The goofiness was in full force. “They knew when the strippers were going to make it rain because they could feel it in their joints”. ZING! good one, Jimmy!  The best part of the retirement home being sued had to have been the lawyers, otherwise known as the game of Clue characters. Chick-fil-a or Dude-Fil-A?! Jimmy! You are firing on all cylinders tonight!

GOOD ADVICE/BAD ADVICE is a pretty good idea brought to life tonight. Thirty-eight shows in and we have another new segment. Just add it to the list of everything this show’s writers and Jimmy have come up with. The premise is, they have a saying, such as “Make it rain.” Good advice is if you’re standing in a club. The bad advice is if you’re standing at a urinal. Silly stuff like that. This bit is very similar to Pros and Cons but it seems they are able to get away with edgier jokes… And it works! I like it. Good Advice, Bad Advice: Fight Fire with Fire

Jimmy’s at it again with the 4x3 filtered musical numbers! This time with Stevie Nicks. These bits are always good to see. Everyone loves musical numbers! Jimmy Fallon & Stevie Nicks Recreate "Stop Dra…

GUESTS: Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck was on the show promoting her new movie Draft Day. She’s one of those actresses that really seems to lay low and is a mom first* while daddy makes the Oscar winning movies. Not a bad gig. WHOA! Jennifer Garner just told the world Ben Affleck leave son Friday to go start filming the new Batman movie… That’s rather exciting! 

*Garner said she’s going to her daughter signing the Preamble to the Constitution at school.

Up next was Nirvana themselves… Itselves? Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic told some great stories of the band, including the moment they all realized the band worked. It’s really fun to hear stories from the road from people in a band that’s as big as Nirvana was and is. We also learned Jimmy was in a band that played once a year, on New Years Eve. They were called the ‘Born Losers.’ During the Olympics they were called the “Born Lugers.” Anywho, back to the real musicians. Big congrats on their Hall of Fame induction.  PT 1: Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic Tell Old Nirvan…  PT 2: Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic Tell Old Nirvan…

MUSICAL GUEST: In continuing on with what is now known as “Play with the Roots Week” on Jimmy Fallon, Stevie Nicks and the Roots played a subdued song. Gotta say, she can still bring it!
