John Stamos, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier are promoting their Super Bowl commercial and one of their stops was Late Night yesterday. Well Jimmy Fallon took the opportunity to dress them up as Uncle Jesse, Danny Tanner and Joey Gladstone and have some fun playing Danny’s long lost son. So what sitcom advice did little Jimmy need? You just have to watch this great throwback video to find out. And believe me you will want to watch it because there are a lot of funny jokes that will remind you of the greatness that made us all love Full House.
There is a Late Night tradition that started with David Letterman and has continued up until today. When the Letterman left Late Night for The Late Show, his writers gave Conan O’Brien a pickle that had been in their care for some time. Then when Conan got The Tonight Show, he gave that pickle to Jimmy Fallon who was replacing him. Well now that Fallon is going to take over The Tonight Show, he handed off that huge fake pickle to Seth Meyers who got his job. What Meyers is going to do with it? We will just have to wait until February 24th to find out.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t find himself in the same pickle that Conan did 5 years ago. Ba da bump!
Finally, you can watch Jay Leno hand over the Tonight Show tradition (whatever it is) to Jimmy Fallon this Monday at 11:35p on NBC.
Barry Gibb was a guest on Late Night yesterday and Jimmy Fallon sang three of The Everly Brothers biggest hits. The Bee Gee and the Jimmy sang Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie and All I Have to Do is Dream together and their duet was almost as harmonious as the original. Who knows, if that Tonight Show thing (which I hope is successful) doesn’t work out maybe he can go on tour with Barry? I’d pay to see that!
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?
Last week, The Bachelor, Juan Pablo, told TVRage that he did not think there should be an all gay version of the ABC show. Well yesterday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, he got a mouth full of wieners.
Not those type of wieners, but hot dogs thanks to a guy who was throwing them into his mouth. I don’t know about you, but I think it looks like he likes it. What do you think?
