Anyone see Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night?  I think Fallon is doing well in his second week. He’s still really nervous and finding his footing, but it’s a tough gig, so I think he deserves some slack for a while. His monologue is really short, but he did make me laugh with this one:

“Warren Buffet said that our current economic crisis is as bad as the attack on Pearl Harbor.  But still not as bad as the movie Pearl Harbor.  So that puts it in some perspective.”

I think Jimmy is going to do fine.

Sorry I’m so late. It’s been a busy day. I’ll make this quick:

I watched less than half of The Late Show with David Letterman. I honestly don’t think Andy Kindler is funny. Don’t know who Andy Kindler is? That’s fine. No need to start now.

Due to lack of time I skipped the interviews. I’m sure Tom Brokaw was good.

I enjoyed most of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He really is a geek. Here are two perfect examples from his monologue:

The Mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley, has his own YouTube channel to promote himself and the city. And it’s working. Although I thought he crossed the line with “Two Mayors, One Cup”.

And finally, Swiss scientists have discovered that gamers who grip their game controllers too tightly can develop a new painful skin condition on their palms.  Finally, an STD for nerds. Yes.

Russell Brand was on, after being on Letterman two nights ago. He was good. At one point he said something so funny, but so disturbing at the same time, that Fallon had to hide behind a piece of paper to hide his same that he was laughing so hard. That’s good comedy.

The creators of Digg.com were on as well. I dug it at first, but buried it by the end.

Anyone see Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night?  The monologue jokes were good, but he still has a way to go on his pacing and timing. I did have two favorites worth sharing:

You know my favorite part of March Madness? The “buzzer beaters”. You know what I’m talking about? I love the buzzer beaters. When I was a little kid I use to watch the games and picture myself out there. The clocks running down, 3…2…1, and then I’d push the buzzer.

A blind man in Missouri kicked down the door to a woman’s apartment and saved her from an intruder. Reached for comment the blind man said, “I did what?”

The segments between the monologue and guests remind me of skits on SNL. Interpret that anyway you want.

Clive Owen was Fallon’s first guest tonight.  It was a good interview and the foosball bit was hilarious. I’ve been an Owen fan since Children of Men, which is on my list of my 20 favorite films of all time. And, he’s got rugged good looks to boot. I could have rugged good looks if I wanted.

Paul Tuttle, Sr. from American Chopper was on next. I don’t think I’d have the guts to interview him, however. I would wet myself if he got pissed off during our chat. I just can’t take that risk.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Thursday night. I feel that it’s my patriotic duty to watch it.
