Eps 226: Tin Fey, Bieber Fever, and Mario

Jimmy again for the umpteenth time talked about Tiger Woods in the monologue.

THEN, came this. Tonight was invaded by SNL past and present cast members, the Roots and the cast of Parks and Recreation. It all began with this 6-Bee episode.



First thing he said, "HEY PAL". She was the first booking for the show.. not one the first episode, just the first that said she would appear on the show. She will be hosting this Saturday's episode of SNL, AND might, just might do a Sarah Palin skit. *fingers crossed* The musical guest is also Justin Bieber, who is a guest on the show tonight too.

Her main purpose for being on the show was to promote her new movie "Date Night" with Steve Carell. I have been waiting for this movie to come out. I love both of them together in a comedy, and at that an action comedy!

SO, then to make the night better, Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers came out to play charades with Jimmy and Tina. They acted out: The Da Vinci Code, Clash of the Titans, Straight Outta Compton, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Where the Wild Things Are.

After Justin Bieber came out, talked about Chuck Norris playing him in a movie and going out of the segment playing the drums with Questlove, Mario Batali came out to cook some kind of crushed pepper, goat cheese pasta with Jimmy. It sounds really good, and well Higgins liked it, so who wouldn't?

Eps 225: Battle of the Instant Bands, Rachel Maddows

Again, he talked about Kate Gosselin and Tiger Woods in the monologue....

"Battle of the Instant Bands" was on again tonight, which I think is an amazingly different kind on game/segment. Tonight was especially good. To watch the entire episode click on the title for the link to the page.

Rachel Maddow was then on talking about being in People Magazine, which was a honor for her to be in. They then talked about politics, at which time I zoned out and continued to download music on my new computer.

I zoned back into the episode when they started making cocktails. They made "the communist" (gin, lemon and orange juice, and cherry haring - cherry brandy).

The Mighty Boosh came on next via webcam. The comedy duo are not touring this summer, but they have their own iPad/iPhone App called the Mightey Decider where a Crack Fox plays flip the coin for you.

Dave Annable from "Brothers and Sisters" came on next to talk about the special two-hour special this sunday on ABC.

Suzanne Vega was the musical guest.

Eps 224: Christopher Meloni and Kate

So, Jimmy started talking about the end of March Madness, but then that led into a joke about Kate Gosselin's dancing the night before on Dancing with the Stars. Then like a good boy not talking about it any further, went on talking more about the Duke - Butler game the night before. Then he went back and talked about her "Paparazzi" and showed a clip. Again he talked about Jesse James and his mistress. But tonight he talked about the mistress, Bombshell McGee's tattoos.

AND, then with the "Pros and Cons" segment he talked about Tiger Woods and his personal career along with his return to golf. Again Jimmy, again??
But, he then did this. Which made up for all talk over and over about Kate.



OH my my my. Christopher Meloni came out dancing, which was really funny. Then talked about trying to give himself the nickname of Buckwheat.... I have noticed that Christopher really gets along with Jimmy. They are just about the same person, except that Jimmy could not play a serious roll like Chris on Law and Order. They then had a rematch of "Random Object 3-Point Shootout", ad Christopher won AGAIN.

Taraji P. Henson, who stars with Tina Fey and Steve Carell in the upcoming movie "Date Night", was the next guest on the show. She talked about her new palace with heated floors, where her son has his own floor. The only thing missing? A man. Every Time someone comes on who is in "Date Night" I get super excited for this movie to come out!

Dr. Dog performed.

Eps 223: Tigers and animals oh my

Again started the his monologue with Tiger Woods and Bombshell McGee - Jesse James mistress. About 93% of his monologues lately have been about these scandals and Kate Gosselin. It's really funny that ways he makes fun of their awful lives, but its basically the same thing every time. Come on Jim Boy, do something different. From the previews for the show, I have a feeling that he will more than make up for it.

"Dancing with the cardboard cutouts of the stars", a spin-off of the "dancing on air", came to the show with Snookie, Jesse James, and Shaq. The winner got to keep her cutout (Shaq) and the looser had theirs shredded.

Mr. Stinky Porcupine and his carrots came out to the show first with Jeff Musial. Wendall- the porcupine just sat on the couch eating sweet potatoes and lettuce while the tortoise dad and son came out. then the aardvark came out. only one of 24 in the United States. Jeff then brought out a cobra and Jimmy got scared.

Bob Costas came out and stared immediately talking about the Olympics and then onto Tiger Woods. Sports is his thing so he only talked along those lines. He also talked about the sports reports on KDKA covering the Pirates for a split second.

James Badge Dale was the third guest on the show. I could not figure out who or what he did at the beginning, but then starting talking about him going to boot camp for the new mini-series directed by Tom Hanks called "The Pacific".

I have never heard of the musical guest for the night, Peter Wolf featuring Shelby Lynne. It's not my typical kind of music I listen to.

And by the way, he only kinda made up for talking about Tiger and Jesse James again.

Eps 221, 222: Gervais and clashing of the titans

Thursday started out with a hilarious new app for the iPhone that sneezes like Adam Sandler, who is one of my many favorite comedians. Then showed the new one called "Jersey Shore Yourself" where you can make yourself look like a member of the Jersey Shore. He introduced others, but they were not as funny.

Put it in Reverse, which is the new game where competing/acting in scenes backwards then playing it forward successfully and the best makes you the winner. It actually turned out really good considering that the players are not actors, or have any experience with it.

Ricky Gervais only watches his own show, other than the crazy reality shows here in the states like the Real Housewives of New York. Ricky also showed a clip of his animated series on HBO of conversations between him and his buds called "The Ricky Gervais Show".

Anthony Mackie was in the awarding winning "Hurt Locker" and is currently on Broadway in "A Behanding in Spokane" He also likes to do impersonations of Tracey Morgan and loves the New Orleans Saints.

Country singer Easton Corbin ended the show with his first #1 song, "I'm a little more country than that".

Friday:
Weekly thank you card writing was the intro to the episode Thursday. Many included, Ricky Martin for obviously coming out of the closet, and apparently she bangs, she bangs - everyone except for him (this was not called for, I love Ricky). Also he thanked the 40ish year-old man who is also named Justin Bieber, who will have to explain who he is the rest of his life.

Jimmy then wanted to add in his thoughts a new upcoming movie.


Sam Worthington, who was in the blockbuster "Avatar", was on the show to promote the new remake "Clash of the Titans". He talked about being an Aussie, and using his experience working with CGI on Avatar to help him with the new movie.

Editor and chief of engaget.com, Joshua Topolsky, came onto the show with an iPad to show us all why we need to get one, and the best things about it. For example it has a user interface, meaning that it is exactly like an iTouch or iPhone. It also takes away the need for a Kindle, and every other device you have right now. And it only starts at $500 for 16GB of storage and can go up to just over $829 with 3G.

Liquid Liquid performed.

Eps 220: Dancing on air, then racing blimps with Tyler Perry

The segment "dancing on air" is, I believe, the most creative and simple so-called game on late night television. This time it was not the usual college aged contestants being stupid, two of them were middle aged men that had spunk. For this reason I have decided to start out with this instead of the usual multiple subject monologue. Enjoy.



Tyler Perry talked about shooting in the Bahamas and hating it because of the huge moths that infested the set. Personally I would deal with any phobia and chilling bug/animal to be on the beach in the Bahamas, but Tyler Perry is a wussy and a damn funny one at that. He produces movies/TV shows and is on tour. He is the male version of Oprah.

The funniest part of the night was the splash shields and clear ponchos that The Roots were wearing during Dan Dunn's Paint Jam. He was a very interesting and talented painter who worked magic in about five minutes.

Musical guest: Drive-By Truckers.

Don't get me wrong, all of Jimmy's guests are funny and most of the time interesting. Lately I just feel like its not up to the standards that it once was. I use to laugh constantly, not its just maybe one or two good laughs. I hope that its just a low point and it kicks back into high speed.

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.
