Some guy named Benny Safdie was on The Tonight Show yesterday, and he decided to dress like a statue who poses with tourists in Manhattan by Times Square.
I guess he was trying to do something to make his appearance on the late night talk show memorable. But I think he looks like his moron.
And it probably is a good thing he dressed up like a schmuck because his interview was just as bad. And it wasn’t Jimmy Fallon’s fault.
So, Safdie, your plan worked, and you are getting attention. But is it the attention you want?
I think yesterday was a late night first. Jimmy Fallon, who hosts The Tonight Show on NBC, appeared on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live as a performer with Meghan Trainor to sing their song Wrap Me Up.
While hosts have appeared on a competitor’s show to be interviewed, I think this is the first time one has been a musical performer on a talk show that wasn’t theirs.
And I hope we see this more often. Although, that will be hard because Fallon is the one who sings. But maybe Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyer can do their standup on one of the other broadcast late night shows.
Do you want another Toy Story movie with the original Buzz Lightyear and Woody voicing their roles? Well, Tim Allen gave a promising update to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show yesterday.
Allen said that Bob Iger, the head of Disney, said it is happening. Tom Hanks and Allen have gotten the phone call asking them to reprise their roles. And one of the writers, who wrote one of the better films in the franchise, said he wouldn’t do it unless he got it right.
So, it sounds like our favorite toys are coming to life again.
Tell me in the comments if this news makes you happy.
Jimmy Fallon has something to say, so he wrote a song. He will be back hosting The Tonight Show on Monday after five months of solidarity with the writers from the Writers Guild of America who were on strike.
Not only did he want to tell us he is back. But he also wanted to let us know that his first guests will be Matthew McConaughey and John Mayer, who will talk to Fallon and perform. As will McConaughey if he is alright, alright, alright with that.
When the WGA went on strike on May 2nd, the late night hosts stopped doing their talk shows on solidarity.
Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver got together and started the podcast Strike Force Five to raise money for the strikers.
Now that the WGA strike is over, the hosts announced today they are ready to go back to work on Monday.
FLASH!
THEIR MISSION COMPLETE, THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF STRIKE FORCE 5 WILL RETURN TO THEIR NETWORK TELEVISION SHOWS THIS MONDAY 10/2, AND ONE OF THEM TO PREMIUM CABLE ON 10/1.
OF COURSE, IN A GREATER SENSE, THE STRIKE FORCE 5 WILL NEVER END, BECAUSE STRIKE FORCE 5 IS NOT A PLACE, STRIKE FORCE 5 IS NOT A PEOPLE, STRIKE FORCE 5 IS BARELY A PODCAST…NAY, STRIKE FORCE 5 IS AN IDEA. AN IDEA THAT FIVE MEN COULD TALK ON TOP OF EACH OTHER FOR 12 EPISODES, AND MAYBE SOMEBODY WOULD LISTEN. AS WE SAY GOODBYE, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE SOMEBODIES.
TRULY, YOU WERE THE HEROES. WE WERE MOSTLY THE HEROES, BUT YOU WERE IN THERE, TOO.
WE WANT TO THANK THE ENTIRE STRIKE FORCE 5 TEAM, OUR WIVES, OUR SPECIAL GUESTS, AND APOLOGIZE TO CONAN O’BRIEN, WHO AGREED TO DO THE POD, BUT STEPHEN FORGOT TO SEND HIM ANY POSSIBLE DATES, AND THEN THE STRIKE ENDED.
GOODBYE FOR NOW, AND HELLO FOR LATER, BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE A FEW MORE EPISODES, UNLESS RYAN REYNOLDS CUTS OFF THE CASH.
THIS IS THE STRIKE FORCE 5 SIGNING OFF AND THE LATE NIGHT 5 SIGNING BACK ON…WHAT WAS THE PASSWORD TO MY WORK COMPUTER AGAIN? BABYSOMOZA?
STEPHEN COLBERT, JIMMY FALLON, JIMMY KIMMEL, SETH MEYERS, JOHN OLIVER
P.S. BOOMPoor Conan. First, Leno, and now the rest of them. He deserves better.
Back to the Five. You know they are super excited to get back and talk about all the GOP news they missed. And so much has gone on in five months.
