A little late tonight due to the
incredible OT thriller of a Game One of the Stanley Cup Final, but that’s a
different blog for a different time.
MONOLOGUE: Decent start to the
monologue, very Leno-esque, more on that after this sentence. “It’s the first
burger where you need a hug!” Hilarious moment with old Tonight Show band
leader Kevin Eubanks where he did his trademark laugh, and thought Jimmy was
Leno. It was a small little gag where Eubanks did his joke, and walked off the
stage. Hilarious and good to see ‘Kev’ back on the Tonight Show. Kevin Eubanks Crashes The Tonight Show -- Monologue
We didn’t even get a chance to
breath from that comedy joke before we got an appearance from Hashtag, the
Fallon Panda, after a joke about the World Cup and an actual Panda predicting
the winners of the games (Much like the Octopus from the last World Cup, for
you soccer fans). A Baby Panda Will Predict the 2014 World Cup Winner --
Monologue
The hits keep coming! We go into an
audience bit where 2 members of the audience want Jimmy to do the Gangnam Style
dance. The joke that started this was that the video on youtube has over 2
billion views. After the two audience members try and get Jimmy to do the
dance, we get an appearance from the Today Show’s Matt Lauer, where he gave us
the line of the week, “Stop beating around the bush, listen to your audience,
listen to that man. It’s for his wife. Now I gotta get up early for the Today
Show, so cut the BULL SH*T.” Amazing cameo from Matt Lauer! Perks of taping in
30 Rock. Jimmy Does the Gangnam Style Dance
Lastly, we get a great closing joke
with an America’s
Got Talent clip of host Nick Cannon when kicked a guy in the groin. “Well America, we had
a good run!”
IN REPLY TO was next, a fun little
Twitter related segment. Some good zingers. In Reply To: Godzilla, New York Rangers, McDonald's
GUESTS: Tom Cruise was first up,
can’t see him without thinking Ethan Hunt or a guy who makes the same movie,
every movie. How much free time does Tom Cruise have where he makes sure he
watches a movie a day? Tom Cruise Watches One Movie Each Day Ok, so this movie Edge of Darkness
looks pretty awesome. Emily Blunt isn’t half bad in it, but I thought I saw
this movie when it was called Inception. I love that a movie star as big
as Tom Cruise plays games with Jimmy and cracks raw eggs on his head. What
other show would Tom Cruise do this on!?
Face Breakers is an awesome new
game! I love this thing! It involves throwing things and makes a mess, and
Jimmy gets super competitive. Face Breakers with Tom Cruise
HOLD ON…There’s more Kardashian
type children!?!? Where did these girls come from? I’m so confused! How is this
the first I’m seeing and hearing of these people. I did some Wiki research to
try and figure out this family. Kendall and Kylie are sisters and are half
sisters to Kim, Khole and Kourtney. Geez, they all have K names. Anyway, back
to the interview… Oh, it’s over? Darn. I wanted to hear more about how these
girls got on the Tonight Show. Stupid research!
MUSICAL GUEST was Chrissie Hynde,
best known for her work as the leader of the Pretenders. Thing I got from this
performance, is something about dark sunglasses.
All in all, this was a terrific
show! Hilarious and on point!
(I did more research on the
Kardshian/Jenner thing, and I totally get it now. You can all sleep well now.)
