Jimmy Fallon’s Week-In-Review
Jimmy Fallon, new host of Late Night, has already become funnier from his first episode to his fifth. He’s risen to the rank of my second favorite late night show, which isn’t saying much because Conan’s not on right now and the only other host I find funny anymore is Letterman.
Favorite monologue joke: [From Friday, 3/6/09] “A special Beatles version of the video game Rock Band is coming out… You can play as John. You can play as Paul. You can play as George, or Ringo. And it comes with a full warranty in case Yoko shows up. [Liverpudlian accent while miming playing a guitar] Green, green, red, green, red, green, orange.”*
Favorite celebrity interview: [From Friday, 3/6/09] Drew Barrymore.
Favorite comedy bit: [From Monday, 3/2/09] Conan packing up his dressing room.
Favorite host: Jimmy Fallon (not much competition there).
Favorite episode overall: Friday 3/6/09.
* This could actually be the song “Hey Bulldog” (sort of).
