FALLON SPOOFS PATTINSON, RADCLIFFE
Jimmy Fallon has his moments, even if those moments are rare. But making fun of Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen in Twilight) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter in Harry Potter) will never get old - at least for me. Pattinson is a slimy greaseball who plays a character that chicks are in love with because he’s the “perfect guy” (that doesn’t EXIST), and Radcliffe is more or less one of the most annoying people on earth. Fallon as Pattinson describes Radcliffe as “bothering”, which couldn’t be more dead-on.

Golf clap for Jimmy Fallon doing something funny on his show.

The best rap group of all time - yes, the Beastie Boys - performed last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon … and it was magical. Mike D, MCA, and Ad Rock hit the stage to perform “So What’cha Want” from 1992’s Check Your Head, one of the best rap albums ever recorded. Check out “Professor Booty” as well, one of the better unknown Beastie songs.

KOURNIKOVIAN BEER PONG
At any college party, you always have that beer pong player who takes the game too seriously. Like when you walk into a party at a friend of a friend’s apartment, and his beer pong table is a scale replica of that college’s football field, and he brags that it took him an entire weekend to make the grass appear 3-dimensional. Then you’re thankful you have a life.
Here’s some good news: Anna Kournikova is still hot, and she stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to show off her assets and play a competitive game of beer pong. A must-see.

TINA FEY MISTAKES ROBERT PATTINSON FOR SATAN
Tuesday night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, TSF’s favorite funny chick was looking hot as usual. It’s a shame that Jimmy Fallon had to be involved, because we would have preferred to just see Tina Fey interview herself. Everything she says is funny. No, really.
Robert Pattinson (right) is one of the most famous people on earth right now and you might not even know who he is. He plays the part of Edward Cullen in Twilight and what Megan Fox is to 35-year-old married men, Robert Pattinson is to 14-year-old girls.
In the interview, Tina and Jimmy are looking at a picture from the Oscars, and Tina notices Pattinson sitting in her vicinity, but is unsure as to who he is - at which point she asks, “Is that the devil?”
Three reasons to watch the interview: Tina Fey is smokin’ hot, Tina Fey is hilarious, and to see Jimmy Fallon laugh like a school girl at everything she says, including clapping when the audience claps - which is something he needs to stop doing immediately.
In case you missed it, TSF live blogged the entire first episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
TSF LIVE BLOGS THE FIRST “LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON”
You may know Jimmy Fallon from his 5-year stint on Saturday Night Live or his laughable attempt at a motion picture career from 2004 to 2008. Realizing America hated him as an actual actor, Jimmy Fallon has been given a second, and let’s be honest, last chance at proving to us that he is worthy of our hard-earned money and precious time.
Tonight, Monday, March 2nd, 2009, marks the first night of Jimmy Fallon’s future in the entertainment business as he makes his debut as Conan O’Brien’s replacement on NBC’s Late Night. Because almost every person reading this list has a life and doesn’t run a mindless blog, I am the one who stayed up until 1:30 a.m. to live blog his first show and let you know how it went every step of the way.
Live blogging is a new term used to describe the taking of notes via text or pictures during an event in real time and posting it to a website. This is TSF’s first liveblog, and depending on the reaction, probably not the last.
Why Live blog? Instead of just writing an after-the-fact review, this can give you minute-by-minute insight into the show and how much Jimmy Fallon does or does not suck.
START OF THE SHOW
Skit: Conan is cleaning out his dressing room and says he’ll TiVo Jimmy’s show. Conan asks who is on the show this week and next week, in which Jimmy says some dude from from Season 1 Survivor and Right Side Fred. I don’t know what’s worse: if that was scripted or improv, because it wasn’t funny either way. Both too obscure references for the audience to find funny … could have used funnier references.
Intro kinda sucks. Announcer (Steve Higgins) is boring. The Roots did the intro music. Wonder if they will stay on as his band…? He’s got that going for him, which is nice.
He walks out and looks totally awkward with his hands in his pockets and his head down.
“A smart man would leave now” - let Conan handle the dry humor.
It snowed like a foot in New York today, he says a stupid snow day joke. He woke up and said, “Please let it be a snow day”. I didn’t LOL.
He mentions that Microsoft is opening stores around the country to compete with Apple stores, the only difference is that “in the Microsoft stores, the staff will freeze when you ask them a question”. Nice.
He “slow jams” the news in which The Roots play a down tempo beat as Jimmy tells the news with reverberated effects on his voice. A cop-out. Stick to the jokes.
They want to reach blonde mothers from Connecticuit as “tonight’s target demographic”. Camera pans to the crowd and shows preppy middle-aged blonde women clapping.
Skit: Blonde mothers are an attractive demographic. Jokes and stereotypical blonde mothers and talks about them being the target demographic…unfunny and contrived version of this.
Before cutting to the first commercial break, he says, “Come back … (awkward pause) … please.”
A game called “Lick it for Ten” - They pick a few people from the audience and they lick something for $10. 2 dudes 1 chick. They do it in a Price is Right style (retail price, etc.). First dude has to lick a push mower. By audience applause, he has to lick the motor, then they show it in “super sexy replay”. Actually kind of funny. The chick has to lick a computer printer. 2nd dude has to lick a goldfish bowl. By the third person, this is putting me to sleep. Once is enough. Commercial.
First guest: Robert De Niro. He starts purposely only asking him questions with one word answers. Asks him if he’s happy to be here. He says, “I don’t know yet.” Good answer.
1:00 a.m. He asks Robert if he gets bothered walking around NYC, he answers no. It’s about 4 minutes into the interview at this point and De Niro literally hasn’t looked at Jimmy in the face yet - I shit you not. Oh and there it is, he looks at him in the face at 1:05 a.m.
Fallon then does a Taxi Driver De Niro impression. Not bad. De Niro does a Jimmy Fallon impression and it’s only funny because he’s Robert De Niro. Commercial.
1:12 a.m. Fallon mentions a fake movie he was in with De Niro. Star Wars spoof called “Space Train”. A train that goes to space because they’re afraid of flying. Watch the non-hilarity below (or don’t…):
1:17 a.m. Back from commercial. Justin Timberlake is the next guest.
Justin “pulled some strings” and got him a signed picture of some dude I don’t know that says “To Jimmy, your fan” and they joke it says it looks like “Your tan” - and Jimmy is pale. Laugh laugh. They start singing some song in unison, I feel like it’s an inside joke and I’m not included. Frown.
They show a clip of Justin’s new MTV show called “The Phone”, which looks pretty cool, except it doesn’t. He describes it as a game show where people get a phone call and they put people through “absolute hell”, e.g. in the clip, a car explodes right as the chick agrees to the game on the phone. Sounds like a great idea for a show, if except doing that, they played music videos instead.
BEST PART OF THE SHOW: They start making fun of John Mayer (Top 10 Celebrities Who Need To Get Their Ass Kicked). Timberlake does an impression and it is spot on. Hilarious, watch below:
Then Timerlake does a Michael McDonald impression, not as good, but still funny. Jimmy awkwardly sends it to commercial, looks nervous.
1:30 a.m. Van Morrison musical guest. Not playing “Brown Eyed Girl”, college-aged audience is pissed, ’cause we damn well know that’s the only song by Van Morrison they know.
Overall, not bad and better than I thought it was going to be. It didn’t drag on, but the monologue needs to be heavily improved. Get some better writers, NBC. Call me, we’ll do lunch.
