Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon did their first joint interview today on Today with Matt Lauer about the changing of guard over at The Tonight Show in a few weeks. The two late night hosts seemed sincere when they said there are no hard feelings between them and that they only wish the other one good luck in their next endeavor.
Leno also admitted that this time around he was asked to step down from The Tonight Show and he is OK with passing the torch over to Fallon. The current host of Late Night admitted he doesn’t know what to expect when he takes over as host of The Tonight Show on February 17th. One thing he can expect is that Leno will not try to take his job back this time because he told Lauer he doesn’t want to do another late night talk show.
The interview felt very awkward to me, not because of Leno and Fallon, who I sincerely think are friends; but because of Lauer. It didn’t feel as comfortable as it should be and after talking with Fallon last week at the TCAs, it felt like things are copacetic between them. Maybe it was Lauer who was uncomfortable, thus making the interview feel that way. What do you think?
Rosie O’Donnell hasn’t been on The View since she left the show as a host back in 2007. Well she is coming back for one day only as a guest on February 7th and Barbara Walters is welcoming her with open arms.
I would be more excited about her returning to the show if Elisabeth Hasselbeck was still on it. I’d love to see those two go at it again. That is when the show was at its best to me.
Are you excited to see her back on the daytime talk show?

Awards Show Producer, Ken Ehrlich, made sure that late Cory Monteith got a special tribute at the Emmys last year, but yet he couldn’t make sure that they would spell his name correctly tonight during the Grammys’ In Memoriam. I mean they spelled Cory correctly which others have not, but they spelled his last name incorrectly because they swapped I and the E. I guess the person who wrote that graphic, went with one of the first grammar lessons we all learned. You know, I before E except after C? And I assume that everyone else who proofread that, thought the same thing.
Oh well, at least he stood out on the In Memoriam, just not the way he would’ve wanted to.
Tonight on the Grammys Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr sang a new song together, 33 gay and straight couples got married, Chicago was dug up to perform with Robin Thicke and Taylor Swift thought she won, but she didn’t. But the big story of music’s biggest night, is Pharrell’s hat. The first mention of it is when Ryan Seacrest Tweeted a picture of his photobombing his picture with the Grammy winner. From that moment on, that was all the Grammys was about.
What is under the hat? One of the girls from the Blurred Lines video? Miley Cyrus, so she doesn’t take attention away from his hat? Was he sneaking in the recently arrested Justin Bieber? A bookcase for all the Grammys he won tonight? His career because now his hat is even bigger than his music one?
The good news, is the hat takes away attention from the fact that he’s wearing Sue Sylvester’s jumpsuit top. The bad news, anyone who sat behind him at the Grammys.
UPDATE: Arby’s took to Twitter to comment on the hat and my hat is off to them!
