Jimmy Fallon got a big surprise on The Tonight Show yesterday, as did long time fans of NBC late night talk shows.
What was it? Paul Shaffer and the World’s Most Dangerous Band are filling in for The Roots this week. But that is not the surprise.
So, what is it? The band leader’s old boss, David Letterman, decided to stop by and say hi! And he did it by crashing Fallon’s monologue.
Was Fallon upset? Not at all. Well, maybe a little because Letterman slapped him in the face with a tortilla several times, and that actually hurts. Don’t worry, Jimmy got one in. And he is being sued by the original Late Night host.
It was nice to watch Letterman on TV again at 11:30p. Plus, it was wonderful to see the two hosts together because they have such different hosting styles. If they were to co-host a talk show, it would be like The Odd Couple.
Maybe we can get Letterman out of retirement to do it. Would you watch The Late Tonight Show?
UPDATE: If you are wondering where The Roots are (like I was), they are rehearsing for the SNL 50 Homecoming Concert Lineup on Friday.
