On tonight's Report, Stephen Colbert lamented the fact that he always loses to The Daily Show at the Emmys before giving viewers a peek at all the networks' screener packages. To his dismay, Colbert discovered that NBC was using his image in the screener for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon—so he decided to get some revenge.
It's been a while since Saturday Night Live has aired "The Ambiguously Gay Duo"—its classic animated sketch about a couple of superheroes who may also be an actual couple—so when it appeared on screen during tonight's episode, many were pleasantly surprised. But then the sketch suddenly transformed into a live-action one—featuring appearances by Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and host Ed Helms—and "pleasantly surprised" instantly became a huge understatement.
From time to time on Late Night, Jimmy Fallon graces us with 'Jersey Floor,' his 30 Rock-set Jersey Shore parody. And while any installment is worth watching, tonight's offering—featuring cameos by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as skanky stalkers who tussle with Rachel Dratch's Snooki—was pretty much perfect.
On tonight's Late Night, Elton John stopped by for a chat with Jimmy Fallon. When the topic of John's songs being covered—on American Idol, for example—came up, he celebrated it, while simultaneously bashing "assholes" Kings of Leon.
During last night's Late Night, Jimmy Fallon donned a wig and a fake beard and added another impression to his collection—that of Idol's Casey Abrams. In the sketch, Fallon plays a desperate Abrams trying to cash in on his 15 minutes.
Last night on Late Night, Liv Tyler and Jimmy Fallon debuted this "lost tape" from a Star Search audition. Known as "Pleather and Lace" at the time, their terrible-sounding, awkward performance is made up for by their fantastic matching outfits.
This morning Jimmy Fallon had Martha Stewart try his caramel fudge-covered potato chip cluster ice cream. Then Martha showed him how to make ice cream cake when he wasn't eating ingredients and trying to put them back in the cake.
On tonight's Late Night, best guest ever Brian Williams stopped by for a chat with Jimmy Fallon. When the subject of conversation switched to Libya, Fallon got uncharacteristically angry/political and began bashing President Obama and his lack of communication.
On Late Night, Jimmy took some suggestions to make the show more efficient. The suggestions included: an old mac computer (the kind in Zoolander), the youngest stand up comic (Danny "See you in hell!" Farrison), and Weird Al Roker.
Jimmy Fallon dropped by Ellen to chat about the beginning of his own show, his silent first guest Robert DeNiro, and how tough it is to dress like a lady and wear fake nails.
Howard usually doesn't appear on a talk show unless he meets with his psychiatrist first, which might explain his rant. He goes off about Conan, The Tonight Show, and Late Night after calling himself a "student of late night television."
Here's a treat from last night's edition of Late Night: Jimmy Fallon performing as Bob Dylan and singing the Charles in Charge theme song. Note that his impression of Dylan is just as good as his impression of Neil Young.
Ted Danson appeared on Late Night to promote his new eco-friendly book, so the show went dark and held the interview using only two flashlights. We also got a glimpse of Ted and Mary Steenburgen's farewell tape for Steve Carell.
