Episode 70

SEVENTY!!

MONOLOGUE:  Jimmy opens with some comments on the NBA Finals and the A/C going out. Temperatures reached 90+ degrees, and I can tell you, in that arena, in those locker rooms, it wouldn’t be comfortable. Onward we go with more sports jokes about California Chrome, the horse bidding to become a triple crown winner, who will also be competing in a hot temperature environment. Had some good ending jokes. EWWW

THANK YOU NOTES: A classic edition of Thank You Notes with hilarious improv between Jimmy and Higgins. These guys are awesome and this segment is a great segment on a Friday, giving you a reason to watch at the end of the week. Thank You Notes: Old Belts, Justin Bieber

Love/Hate how this “EWW” character has such traction with the fans. I don’t really like the sketch, but I love when Jimmy does it outside of the sketch, like tonight when he introduced Channing Tatum in the EWWW voice

GUESTS: Channing Tatum is a man. Is it strange for anyone else to listen to these two guys only talk about their babies… Yet it’s awesome. These guys are real people!! Pretty sweet improv with Tariq and Channing beat boxing. Only on the Tonight Show. I wonder if there’s a movie Jimmy didn’t like. Channing Tatum Shows Off His Beatboxing Skills

The last time Jimmy did one of these Arm Wrestling Challenges was with Jason Statham, and the two couldn’t keep it together. It was hilarious. This next version didn’t disappoint. The jokes are just so, not fitting, to the mood of the moment, it’s what makes it great!  But none of these silly bites, like this arm wrestling bit, wouldn’t be as great as they are without the full commitment of these actors. To see them both break again tonight was hilarious in and of itself… Dick Tugnuts. Jimmy Fallon and Channing Tatum Arm Wrestle

Joshua Topolsky’s first appearance on the Tonight Show. He was a staple on the old Late Night Show giving all of us the latest and greatest technology. Really interesting stuff, and this guy knows it all. It’s also really cool Channing Tatum stuck around for this segment. The ability to change focus of a picture is really really cool. Crazy that virtual reality headset Jimmy and Channing Tatum played with. Technology is here people!Joshua Topolsky Demonstrates Sony's Project Morpheus

Last up was stand up comedian Julian McCollough. Not a lot of comics have performed standup on Jimmy’s Tonight Show. Ooooo quick with the Kansas jokes, but every last one of them are true. McCollough is another great example of comics who can be really funny while keeping it clean. There are few out there that can pull it off, and he’s one of them.
