Anyone see Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night?  The monologue was nothing special, but the desk segment where he does the news promos was hysterical. I totally recommend watching that if nothing else. The follow-up segment on Ayn Rand wasn’t bad either. I give it credit for being different.

I’m super late with today’s post, so I’ll make this quick. Mike Myers was his first guest. His stories and impressions were entertaining. Anna Kournikova was his second guest. She was pretty and the beer pong was fun. The All-American Rejects were the musical guest. They rocked.

Overall, I give it an A-.

Anyone see The Late Show with David Letterman last night?  The monologue was better than usual. There were four, count ‘em four, highlights:

Ladies and gentlemen here’s some great news: New York City murder rate is down 23%. That means some of you will make it back to your hotels. But the reason the murder rate is down 23% is simple: no one can afford ammo.

A lot of excitement (at the G20 summit), they’re giving away a door prize. This year it’s Iceland.

The economy is bad in England as well. Matter of fact at Buckingham Palace you know the Queen; she’s now working in the gift shop.

“But Woody,” you’re thinking, “I don’t have time to watch the whole show.” No problem. Just spend 2:30 minutes and watch the segment with grocery bagging champ Francisco Palacios.

Ray LaMontagne was very good as the musical guest.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon started with a guest telling the monologue. I’m not sure who he was, but he was very entertaining, unlike the desk segments.

The highlight of the show for me was comedian Nick Thune. His set was very funny.

Anyone see the Late Show with David Letterman last night?  His guests were the strongest part of the show.

Dave’s first guest was Zac Efron. I’ve never seen any of those High School Musical things, and I’m not a 15 year-old girl, so I don’t really know much about Zac. I thought maybe he was going to be pretty immature and stupid.  Instead, I was reasonably impressed by his relaxed demeanor and thought he handled himself well.

His next guests were Mike and Mike from ESPN. I’ve never listened to Mike and Mike, and I’m not a sports enthusiast, so I don’t really know much about these guys either. I thought maybe they were going to be loud and obnoxious, but they were really cool guys and they’re time with Dave was enjoyable to watch.

The musical guest was AC Newman with Nicole Atkins. I’ve never listened to either one of them before, and, you guessed it, I don’t really know much about either of them. I guess I really need to get out more. Overall, the performance was solid.

A couple of quick highlights from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:

This is very sad, the man who created Dungeons and Dragons died last week. He was buried in a twelve-sided coffin.

A glitch on Amazon.com has caused gay and lesbian themed books to be removed from the system. Said one gay author, “Glitch please!”

I wish they would invite me to consult on the show so I could warn them when a segment is too long and not funny. I would do it for free. Well, almost free.

The air hockey game between Fallon and his first guest Denis Leary was pretty funny.
