Eps 195: Fiece finger skating and product placement

Continuing late night's recognition of the winter Olympics, Jimmy introduced the sport of finger skating. Three audience member's routines included such moves as the flying Jackson and the bearded snow leopard.

But that was not all of the pre-interview fun. Jimmy's own product placement preacher popped in and gave an marvelous sermon on the importance of the $5 foot long at subway. Can I get a hallelujah!?!?!?

Just Sixty... Legendary talkshow host and writer for Carson, Dick Cavett reminicises the day a guest health expert dropped dead on his show. Project Runway star and designer Christian Siriano proves what hot mess, tranny mess has done for code talking, oh and how it relates to the day he designed an outfit for Lady Gaga's today show appearence. Then alternative band Yeasayer.

Eps 194: Hot Polygamists, Poker Faces and The Dawson

Tuesday 2/09/2010
Guests: Bill Paxton, James Van Der Beek, Jeff Musial, Regina Spektor



James Van Der Beek and Jimmy Fallon as the band "7 degrees Celsius" in an SNL skit in 1999

i'm gonna us a different format tonight; so here we go.....


The show started off with a really short monologue and didn't really have any stand out jokes-this was fine because afterwords Jimmy gifted us with the Spiderman VS. Superman break dance battle....Spiderman was awesome and made me really laugh. i laughed even more when Jimmy joined in and tried to learn how to dance. For some reason i think it's hott when a guy is a goofy dancer (ex: Jimmy Fallon, Steve Carell's dancing in The Office and Dan In Real Life and Paul Dano at the end of Little Miss Sunshine) But the hottness of Jimmy and his dancing did not end because super hottie Bill Paxton was the first guest. Paxton is there promoting his show Big Love on HBO. Big Love is one of my fav shows; it's about a polygamists family. I would just like to say that i am a strong believer in monogamy.... but i'd be more than happy to be one of Bill Paxton's wives! There is a plotline on the show about the family co-owning an Idian casino so Paxton and Jimmy played Liar's Poker and they sang a little "poker face"... Paxton one! The the hottness continued when THE DAWSON aka James Van Der Beek stopped by and he and Jimmy reminisced on when he hosted SNL, "when US magazine was a respected monthly publication", what happens when "Miley Cryrus farts in the wrong direction" and about Dawson's Creek. The Night ended with a Genius performance from the gifted and inspiring Regina Spektor. I think Spektor sounds amazing live...she sang "machine"....everyone should go buy her new album "far".

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.

Eps 192: Boring Columbia students and sleeping with Al Roker

Starting with Brian Williams slow jamming the news with Jimmy and the Roots about Obama's budget, the show led into Jim's week long thank you card writing time. But before thanking apple for the shaq-sized Iphone=the Ipad, boxes of chocolates, lasors and typewriters, Jimmy slow jammed with Williams about Obama's back door policy and the need for shrinkage for the $12.1 trillion debt... but dont worry all of it had to do with *politics*. Maybe Obama should thank Funyons like Jimmy did and then he would need to deal with back door policies.
Scholars from Columbia Univ. also invaded the show but needed a bost to their elbowpad and wine drinking hats imediately as they started talking...



Now 60 exciting words plus an added 15 just because.... Traveling to Haiti Brian Williams slept with Al Roker in a tent on the airport tarmack proving his devotion to our country and journalism. Williams travels with backup ipods, favors Pauly-D, and confesses he lacks a back tattoo. Amanda Seyfried was honored to be with Channing Tatum in NC for two months... with his shirt off. *tear*. Comedian Sean Patton likes to passout instead of standing up for a fight, oh and hes from New Orleans.

Eps. 191: DON'T BLINK!!!!!

Thursday 2/4/2010
Guests: Channing Tatum, Aubrey Plaza, Hot Chip

*Jimmy once again was very giggly!!!

*In the monologue Jimmy addressed: Obama's mother in law will continue to live in the white house/ "buy Ford because Toyota is trying to kill you"/ ABBA World, a park in London/ Corn beef, if eaten for breakfast, will help you lose weight.

*NBC is tying to figure out what shows to put in the newly open 10pm time slot every night. Luckily Jimmy has the inside scoop and shared some of the new shows with us.....they are all combos of other successful shows
-Hard Nips with Chris Matthews (Hard Ball with Chris Matthews/Nip Tuck)... Higgins wanted to call this "Ball Tuck"!...and jimmy began to giggle.
-The Ghost Flasher (The Ghost Whisperer and Flash Forward)
-E.D.: Erectile Dysfunction (Men of a Certain Age and ER)... "If this show lasts more than 4 hours, call a doctor."
-Skank Tank (Shark Tank/Secret Diary of a Call Girl)
-Wake and Bake Lake (Wake Up with All/Weeds/The Lake)
Jimmy giggled his way through the whole segment!

*During "Freestyle'n with The Roots: Olympics Edition" we met Amanda (she put the moves on Jimmy, and he liked her "blue leopard tank thingy") who like hockey and wants to live in Tiland and Lavell who named a new snowboarding trick "The Triple Board Skip". Amanda's song was a smooth R&B track while Lavell's was in the style of a 90's boy band...Jimmy did some sweet dancing. Lastly there was a big guy named Michael who wants to win a medal in gymnastics and where a pink figure skating outfit; his song was a tribute to Bob Marley.

*Channing Tatum taught us some of the acting advice that his dad (who is not an actor) told him...."DON'T BLINK...GREAT ACTOR'S DON'T BLINK. DID STEVEN MCQUEEN BLINK, NOPE....DON'T BLINK!!! his dad was in the movie (Dear John) and got to say one line... he took it very seriously. Channing and Jimmy played "random object 3pt shoot out" and Channing won.

*Aubrey Plaza shared that she used to follow her grade school Principal home in a box...she also does a weird impression of Joy Behar

*Hot Chip performed with The Roots. They sounded pretty good together live.

Eps. 190 Why the seas are blue, and gods cocaine

Wednesday night's show started with a BANG, Guest love's "?uestions". He started with the meaning of life, and the reason the seas are blue, which is his own evil doing when he murdered the smurfs and dumped thier bodies. I really wish we could meet so I can show him my anger. I just loved those little blue creepy people teaching me true life lessons.

Again he shocked us with thoughts of winning a talent show while he was naked, and how snow is god's cocaine. Drumers are so wacked out... which is the best form of comedy, or ones to pick on and writers make up stuff for and can pull it off like reality, I guess. This was the best intro to "dance you hats and gloves off", which makes people jump jiggle and shake off hats and gloves without touching them, while dancing to music... he who must not be named cant even come close to all this amazingness.

And now the rest of the episode in 60 words.
Jessica Alba understands the game of beer pong from audience, then doesnt even get any cups to Jimmy's two, and apparently is weird to kiss your friend (Ashton Kutcher) in a movie. Really... is it that hard? Michales Strahan's feet talk to his socks... shocker, then him and Jimmy agree on the Saints for the super bowl. Haper Simon performed?

Eps. 189: Spit Takes, Groundhog Love'n And Throwing Snow At Al Roker

Tuesday 2/2/2010
Guests: Meredith Vieira, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Motion City Soundtrack


*Jimmy was very chatty tonight. He was laughing a lot and was being very silly with Higgins.

*In the monologue Jimmy addressed: doppelganger week on facebook/John Edwards/a cat with a knee replacement/golf balls with Tiger Woods' mistresses on them.

*Since The Oscar nominations were announced earlier that morning so Jimmy decided to pick the winners. He picked Avatar to win Best Picture and Best Director and believes that Jeff Bridges will win Best Actor. For Best Actress, he had a lot of trouble picking; he and Higgins both admitted that not only did they not see Helen Mirren in The Last Station...but they didn't even know what it was! lol He narrowed it down to Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep eventually picking Streep.

* In honor of Groundhog day, Captain Kirk sang a very sexual song .... jimmy was embarrassed but not shocked.

* During the game Competitive Spit takes this one guy's spit take looked with a scene from the film The Perfect Storm.... seriously..... but they won so it was worth it.

*Meredith Vieira's son Gabe is prob mortified that his mother told a story about him peeing in public as a child. Vieira and Jimmy made an Oscar bet: If The Hurt Locker wins Best Picture she gets to spit take in Jimmy's face and if Avatar wins, he gets to spit take in her face....what happens when Up In The Air wins???? (that's right i said it!) Jimmy then played two fun games with Vieira. He asked her 3 questions from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (which she hosts during the day) and she got a question wrongs lol. They also played an intense game of snowball throwing; Jimmy won 55 to 30 because he hit the moving Al Rocker target and got 50 points!

*Jesse Tyler Ferguson interview was about 2 minutes long...honestly, the only thing memorable was that he said he didn't wash his hands...or something like that.....oh, and he told some story about seeing Hilary Swank in a car.

*i fell asleep during Motion City Soundtrack....... yet i awoke when they finished and stayed up till a little after 5am..... i wonder what that says about their performance?
