Classic Roots Choice #16

Michael Strahan is a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. For him, The Roots play "The Space Between" by Dave Mathews Band. The lyrics were slightly tweaked however so that "the space between" refers to the gap in Strahan's teeth. Clever. The smooth song was punctuated with a shouted ending of "E-A-G-L-E-S! EAGLES!!!"

Strahan: You know what, I see the Eagles drum Jimmy and I know that you're a big Jets fan. I respect the eagles, man, they were good for about five sacks a season.

Crowd: Oooooooooooooh!

Questlove: Kinda like your sitcom, huh?

Crowd: OOOOOH!

Strahan: We were good for about thirteen episodes! About as many albums as you sold last time.

Crowd: Ooooooh!

On a side note, how much crack do you have to inject directly into your brain to think that a sitcom starring Michael Strahan is a good idea? I mean, it's friggin Michael friggin' Strahan on the friggin' frig! My word. Bad language aside, they're still doing better than NBC.
