Eps 219: Another disappiontment

So, I am excited to see Fred because he is one of my favorites on SNL. Only one thing is keeping me from this... and that is Episode 4 of "Late". Once Jimmy got through the monologue and the set up for his version of "Lost", there was break and then part two of "Late". The acting is kinda bad and not really funny, but the fact that it is Jimmy and a bunch of weirdos on a secret floor is kinda hilarious. I'm a little confused why Higgins is recording a journal entry... OH, and 10 minutes of the first 15 were this episode of "Late"

And now onto Fred Armisen and his requested standing ovation as he walked out for the interview. He is just a funny person, one of those that is quick and comes up with the weirdest thing to talk about. I love those who can do that and not harp on their own horrible lives. He then showed a hilarious picture of himself as a teenager... at the end of the interview plugged SNL's upcoming episode with host Tina Fey and Justin Bieber.

Next was Chuck Liddell talked about being the coach on a show called "The Ultimate Fighter 11" and also gave lessons to Jimmy and Fred. It was HILARIOUS. They event acted out a little skit leading up to Jimmy putting Fred into a choke hold.

Comedian Moshe Kasher had his network TV debut.

Eps. 198 Jimmy is baaaack!

So, Jimmy is now back on from the two week hiatus for the Olympics. Among the guests were Judah Friedlander, Mario Batali, and the big star of the night.... Robert Pattinson. I am neither team Edward or team Jacob, but that does not mean that I don't fall into the trap that most high school girls have and I wont admit it, ever. His segment and "Robert is bothered" skit was an exciting way for Jimmy to celebrate his one year anniversary and come back form being off air for so long. So for the reason for it being the one year anniversary, I linked the blog title to the entire episode and posted "Robert is bothered". "Late" was also part of the nights line-up... there was just so much in the episode that I don't have the room or time to ramble on.. so enjoy!

Eps 197: Your voice is so low and cool, here have some helium.

Where am I? LATE.. not the time of day or part of the title of Jimmy's show, but the name of the latest mini-series. The series premiere was almost identical to the show "Lost". Everything to moving music, Jeff and Jane = Jack and Kate... someones legs getting stuck, someone (Higgins) not breathing and the elevator blowing up. Oh and this is based on the true story of how a group of people survive a horrible elevator crash onto the mysterious 10th floor. duhn duhn.



But before the premiere, Jimmy needed some time to write his thank you cards for the week. "thank you Olympic rings for showing fruit loops what they are capable of becoming if they really apply themselves." Also in the line-up was figure skating for being like if hockey came out of the closet, and to John Mayer in his Playboy article for finally putting the rummer that he is an ass to rest, NOT.

The rest of the show consisted of guests inhaling helium.... well, because its cool, if Jimmy's doing it then why don't we all. I came to the conclusion that Selena Gomez sounds like Fran from The Nanny.

And now ladies and gentlemen... or just the one person that reads it, 60 miraculous words to sum up a little circus called Late Night with Jimmy Fallon... Wolfman Benicio Del Toro is surprisingly funny, "Hey double trouble, wanna ride" with helium assisting. Selena Gomez can finally say she is on an Emmy winning show... and her new single with The Scene isn't kiddie bop anymore. Super bowl champ Reggie Bush and "entrepreneur" Kim Kardashian are just awkward, but more so with inhaling helium and easy targets for the press.

Eps 193: Wrestling with Stephen Colbert and the olympics

Drinking beer lessens the effects of osteoporosis according to a part of the monologue. I guess this is a selling point to college student's parents, maybe we will be the healthiest generation minus the immense smoking habits. Going along with fads, "Late" - a spoof of "Lost" was previewed. The first episode will air on Friday, proving that elevators are not safe and never get off on the 10th floor.

The upcoming winter Olympics were a big part of the show, from the snow bobbing event to Colbert's followers recent adoption of the US speed skating team. Bobbing for medals in a pool of snowballs just meets the classification for honoring this worldwide event. Congrats Jim, and Colbert is a comedic genius and a classy guy that stepped up when a dutch bank slipped out as the speed skating team's sponsor.

Late Night also recognized the Tea Party Convention in Tenn. over the weekend with Tea Party Karaoke. Audience members recited words of speakers at the convention to a tune, they really know how to pick out the most ridiculous ones. end of subject.

Now highlights in 60 words... Glamour magazine results, Do Jimmy- Dump Conan- Marry Colbert, means women would cheat on Colbert with Jimmy because hes "totes hot". Jimmy and Colbert wrestle in elevators. Willie Garson, Jobless in the US? Go to Bogota, Columbia? Wine and a french accent make the show better in cooking segment with Eric Ripert. Jimmy stores his house phone in the toaster oven.
