Long before Robin Williams was a late night show staple, he was not big into being on talk shows. For some reason, today The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson decided to post his first appearance on it back on October 14, 1981.
I am so happy that they did, I have tears streaming down my face. Not from missing the comedic genius who was taken away from us much too soon. It is because he is so freaking funny. Even Carson did not know what hit him. It was a Robinado. Once you were swept up in it, there was no way of breaking free. Not that you would want to know.
Since we all need to laugh more, press play and be prepared to have your pants get wet.
Jimmy Fallon did something no other late night show host has ever done. He did his whole show from a subway car in Grand Central Station. In fact, they closed the busy stop down just for him. Therefore, you can understand why NYers want to boo the Tonight Show host. However, that is not why they did it.
He told a joke during his monologue that even I gave him the old Bronx cheer. He said, “We are the home of all the best parades. Right?” Then he revealed which ones, “St. Patrick’s Day parade, Thanksgiving Day, Pride, the list goes on.” He should have stopped there, but he didn’t. That is when he added, “Actually, a long, long time ago. we even had parades for our winning sports teams.” That is when he lost the audience and is lucky, the doors were shut on the subway car.
I have lived in four cities in my life. All four of them have big sports teams, and NYC has the most loyal fans by far. You don’t diss our teams. I am a Bronx girl who is a Mets fan, and you don’t want to know the sh!t I would get when I go to see them play the Yankees at spring training in Ft Lauderdale. And I was born and bred in the city.
When it comes to Fallon, he is from NY, but not NYC. However, he has lived there long enough to know better than to make a joke like that. Yeah, our teams are sucking, but we just don’t talk about it. If I were him, then I would not go to a Yankees game on bat day. I miss bat day! I wasn’t always a Mets fan first.
Besides dissing the Mets, Yankees, Giants, Jets, Rangers, Islanders, Knicks, and Nets, he also had BTS on the show. The eight of them went to the Jewish Deli Katz’s, and the K-Pop band made me feel old. They never saw or heard of When Harry Met Sally. Oh, yes, yes, yes, I would love to see their reaction when they see that infamous scene.
After eating all of that meat and knishes, it was time to work off all of that food. They played some games, talked to the NBC host about a wide range of topics, and sang their song On at the terminal. To see all they did on the show yesterday, then click here!
Pete Davidson sat down with Charlamagne tha Gd for about an hour, and he talked about rehab, his ex-girlfriends, being suicidal, and Saturday Night Live. When it comes to the latter, he hinted he is ready to move on. Not only that, he does not sound like a fan of most of his co-workers.
Davidson started off his comments on it by saying he thinks he should be done with the show because his co-stars make fun of him on it. He elaborated that he does not know if he is the joke or he is in on the joke.
When the comedian was asked if it feels like a family there, he had high praise for Lorne Michaels. Then he said it is “a cutthroat f^cking show.” He feels that everyone wants to get their sketch on the air, and will do anything to make it happen.
Davidson also thinks he has outgrown the sketch comedy show. It feels like it is time to move on. However, he will wait for Michaels to give him the old heave-ho.
It is not that he is ungrateful, he admits the show has made him a better comedian and writer.
When it comes to him leaving, I say it cannot happen soon enough. He just comes off as a huge a$$hole. I don’t get what all these women see in him. Whatever they do see in him, does not seem to last long.
Howie Mandel posted a photo and wrote, “Felt sexy, might delete later #instagood” He has not deleted it, so he still thinks he looks tempting in this picture with his sweatpants up to his nipples. Do you want to make a deal with him or is it a no deal?
