Jimmy Fallon introduced a new game to The Tonight Show yesterday called Musical Beers. Basically it is the adult version of Musical Chairs, instead of grabbing a chair you have to grab a beer.
The players of the game were the NBC late host, Mark Ruffalo, Stephen Merchant, Tariq from The Roots and Steve Higgins. You’d think the very tall Merchant would have the advantage, but a smaller Fallon plays dirty. There is only one person who plays dirtier than him and that is the Hulk. So watch what happens when both men have to go for the same cup. Let’s just say there will be beer spilled!
Before The Roots were Jimmy Fallon’s house band on The Tonight Show, they were the guest band on The Jon Stewart Show. It’s amazing how different the band looked back in 1995 than they do now, but they sound just as great!
Allison Williams was on The Tonight Show yesterday to talk about starring in the upcoming live version of Peter Pan on NBC. Part of playing the part is learning how to fly, so Jimmy Fallon wanted to know if the Girl could teach him how to do it. She had a harness ready for him and once he was strapped in, it was time for him to fly.
It’s a shame NBC didn’t cast him in the role because out of all of the late night hosts he’s the most likely to never grow up.
Bono is not having a good week. First, the door on his plane fell off while it was up in the air, and over the weekend he hurt his arm. U2‘s other band members announced the news on their website. They said, “It looks like we will have to do our Tonight Show residency another time – we’re one man down. Bono has injured his arm in a cycling spill in Central Park and requires some surgery to repair it. We’re sure he’ll make a full recovery soon, so we’ll be back! Much thanks to Jimmy Fallon and everyone at the show for their understanding.”
So for all of you people who were pissed, that you were forced to get U2’s latest album for free on iTunes, it looks someone is trying to get their revenge on him. Could it be Steve Jobs spirit getting back at him for not doing it while he was alive?
Now when it comes to Fallon, I am so like sure the show is OK about. Not. They have less that 24 hours to find four new bands to play just over a week before Thanksgiving. That is not going to be easy. But you know, they could try for Bill Cosby because I hear The Tonight Show mainstay is available.
UPDATE: Here is what Jimmy Fallon had to say about U2 not doing the show this week, “No @U2 this week. But we’ll think of something and send vibes to Bono for a speedy recovery.”

The writers of The Tonight Show wrote some kid friendly jokes for the monologue. Instead of having Jimmy Fallon tell them, they let kids read them. The segment is so cute and so funny, I am beginning to think that only pre-teens should do late night monologues from now on. Don’t you agree?
