Episode 50

FIVE - O!

Here we are 50 shows in! Can you believe it?! Only 96 more shows until Jimmy ties Conan’s number of shows hosting the Tonight Show… Something tells me he’ll pass that mark.

MONOLOGUE: Hold the phone… We have a Washington, Senate joke in the monologue? Seems like we have to go back to the Leno days to get a joke that involves Washington directly. Ah, the old Tonight Shows are back!* WHAT? Prince William and Prince Harry will be in Memphis this weekend? I WAS JUST THERE! Could’ve been royalty, MET royalty. My bad. 

* Started from the Rodham now we’re here.

Chris Kattan appearance! He must be making the rounds. He was on Late Night with Seth Myers last night, and on with old pal Jimmy Fallon tonight! Such as Mango! Jimmy Interviews a Youth Voting Specialist -- Monologue

Me and Jimmy have something in common. We both got on real late to the House of Cards train. I recently finished both seasons last month, and it’s just fantastic! 

THANK YOU NOTES! What a great way to end the week! It makes you wanna stick around to watch a late night talk show on a Friday night! This was a good set of notes as well. One of the better ones. Thank You Notes: Adam Silver, Donald Sterling's Girlfriend, 

RAGTIME GALS!! The best recurring bits Jimmy and the Tonight Show does! It’s just amazing! They asked Kevin Spacey to do this two days ago, and he’s been practicing everyday in the car on his press tour! The power of Jimmy and the want of celebs to play along with his goofiness. Ragtime Gals: Talk Dirty (w/ Kevin Spacey)

GUESTS: Kevin Spacey is an expert impressionist! You saw them in this interview, and here as well on Inside the Actors Studio from way back.Kevin Spacey's Impressions. If this interview on Jimmy teaches us anything, it teaches us, if we can do famous people accents we can get into Broadway shows for free. Kevin Spacey is so cool! He tells a story of being in a Shakespeare Travel Company, which he says inspired Frank Underwood (House of Cards). Interesting and entertaining interview where you can see just how much fun Spacey is having out there. Kevin Spacey Does a Great Johnny Carson Impression

Lewis Black is not my style of comedy, and I never have really liked him. But I will say this, he does have the stage presence of a professional stand up comedian, and that is worth something. Lewis Black Stand-Up
