Yesterday on The Late Show, David Letterman shared a photo of Billy Crystal and Jack Nicholson kissing at a Lakers game, so do the two Oscar staples have something to tell us? Nope. They were caught by the Kiss Cam, and decided to give the fans what they wanted! Even though there is nothing between them, for a second it was fun to think they scored a slam dunk together!
We are less than a month away from Jay Leno saying goodbye to The Tonight Show and today at the NBC TCA Winter Press Day NBC’s Chairman, Bob Greenblatt, announced who his final guest will be. On May 25, 1992, Billy Crystal helped to launch the show as the first guest, so it is only appropriate that he will be the one to close it out. Also joining him on Thursday February 6th, is Garth Brooks and I hope he serenades Leno just like Bette Midler did to Johnny Carson during his final appearance as a host of The Tonight Show.
NBC also announced today who will be on the show that final week. On Monday February 3rd, Leno will pass the baton over to Jimmy Fallon, and Betty White will make her 19th appearance on the show. The next night, Matthew McConaughey and NBA legend Charles Barkley, who makes his 24th visit to the show, are guests and Lyle Lovett will perform, tying the most performances by any singer on the talk show. On Wednesday, Sandra Bullock and Blake Shelton (which should make his mom very proud) will talk to Jay one final time. Finally, on Thursday, Jay Leno bids farewell to his home of 22 years minus a few months.
Not a bad final week for a man who has entertained us for almost a quarter of a century.
UPDATE: Jimmy Fallon’s first guest for The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on February 17th will be Will Smith and the first musical guest will be U2!!!
UPDATE 2: Seth Meyers first on Late Night with Seth Meyers will be Amy Poehler, so look out for it on February 24th.
Yesterday on Late Night, Jimmy Fallon and Billy Crystal flipped lips! I don’t know whether or not to laugh my a$$ off or be completely creeped out. I am going with the latter because there are points in the bit on the NBC late night show that are completely creepy. But then there are even more moments when I found myself laughing hysterically. So you watch, decide and tell me how you feel afterwards!
Billy Crystal was on The Tonight Show yesterday and so were Snooki and JWoww. Well the two Jersey Shorers were talking about how rough the sex between JWoww and Roger is, which I so didn’t need to know. Well anyways Jay Leno said that the City Slicker has been married for a while and maybe he can offer the young ladies some advice. His expression to it all, makes you wonder what he did to suffer through that. Poor guy wasn’t that bad of an Oscar host and Parental Guidance was funny as all heck. So there was no reason to make him go through that.
BTW am I the only one who wants to see JWoww’s sex tape with Roger to see why it takes her a few days to recover?
One of Abbott and Costello’s most famous routines was “Who’s on First?” Well yesterday on Late Night, Jimmy Fallon recreated the bit playing Bud Abbott and Steve Higgins as Lou Costello. But unlike the original bit they added Who, What and IDontKnow to the NBC show’s take on it and I think it might’ve actually made it even funnier. Granted it could be because Billy Crystal was Who and Jerry Seinfeld was IDontKnow, but I think it was more than that. It just added a whole new level of mayhem to the gag having the basemen join in, don’t you agree?
The only problem I had with it, is Fallon is the man of many voices and yet he kinda sucked as Bud Abbott. That and I wish that Robin Williams played What or IDontKnow!
If you say I don’t know who Abbott and Costello are and what Who’s on First? is, then you can watch them do it below from the 1945 movie The Naughty Nineties!
