Who Cares Wins - Halloween Edition

Jimmy Fallon continues to find old video tapes he made for Video Vision back in the 80's. As it's so close to Halloween, Jimmy shares the Halloween video.

Late Night, Late Show - Hurricane Sandy

Both the "Late Show" with David Letterman and "Late Night" with Jimmy Fallon broadcast out of New York and both decided to go through with shows on the day of Hurricane Sandy. Both were taped WITHOUT a live studio audience and both make for interesting viewing.

The Jimmy Fallon show was interesting because it's such a novelty to see the show with no audience. It's odd to hear certain cues and events happen and followed by only silence. What is old is new again. Here, Jimmy Fallon starts out with one audience member, the Mets Bucket Hat Guy, and is left with no one.



Letterman's a completely different story. The funny thing about not having the audience is how good he is at handling it. It's like a classic broadcast from the days of radio with him hosting. I'll tell you exactly what it's like - it's like, for one show, it went back twenty years to the "Late Night" days. And that's the best thing to happen in a long time. Here's the low-tech Top Ten List:



I honestly think in each case that not having an audience improves the show. Seriously.

Conan Gets Spray Tan, Cornrows

As mentioned previously, Conan visits a spray tanner, gets a spray tan and gets cornrows put in.

Similar but not as good as when Conan visited a Beauty School. Or a Day Spa.

Triumph at the Debate

Before you hit play, allow me to warn you about what you're about to see. Conan made a pledge that if people donated to a certain charity he would host an entire show in a super fake spray tan and corn rows. This is that show. Now, off you go....

Tom Hanks "Slams" "Full House"

Tom Hanks performs some Slam Poetry concerning the television show "Full House". It's a very powerful episode.


HAVE MERCY.... on Uncle Jesse.

Incidentally, Hanks' walk-on music was "My Life" by Billy Joel.

The Greatest Event in Television History

Yesterday "The Greatest Event in Television History" aired. I assume everyone saw it because, well, how could you miss the greatest event in television history?

But for the sake of completeness, and because it's such a giant deal, I'll post it here.




RIP Jon Hamm.

Late Night - Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken was on Late Night last night. Admittedly, the interview is more informative than funny but I enjoyed it.

They talk about the "Cowbell" sketch, "The Continental" and touch on Chris' career as a child performer.

To play him on, the Roots played a version of "Don't Fear the Reaper" which featured 80% cowbell and 20% rest of the song. Excellent.

Jimmy Fallon on Letterman

Last week, Jimmy Fallon was a guest on the "Late Show" with David Letterman. There is no link released by the Late Show that encompasses the entire interview so here is the youtube.

Jimmy and Dave talk about working at NBC, Jimmy's new feud with Bruce Jenner and Jimmy does his Neil Young (the second guest).



When Dave labels Bruce Jenner as a famous athlete, the audience laughs. I can't decide if this is disturbing. Do people not know that anymore?
