Yacht Rock 2K10

YACHT ROCK IS BACK - AND IN BULK. This Friday, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon will throw its second Yacht Rock party. The special musical guest will be Robbie Dupree who will sing his smooth hit "Steal Away". My first impression is that it's no comparison to Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald but we'll see how it goes.

Do You Have an Aunt?

Do you have an aunt? Do you have a mother? Do you have a grand-mother? If so, you can be the first to send this clip to them and probably score extra points (It's the least you can do. I mean, you don't call, you don't write, you NEVER visit, sometimes I think you don't care at all.) They'll love it.



And even if you're not an old woman (older woman, sorry!) it's worth a watch. I found it quite entertaining.

The important thing with toddlers is to start education early so they'll be ready when school starts. If you're wondering what his voice reminds you of - it's Elmo.

COOOOOOOOOONAN-->

With the current drought of Conan material, it feels like years since I've been in the "Cone Zone". 'Til now.

Google/Youtube did a 48 minute interview tour de force with the red-headed refugee. It's a great update and a reminder of why he belongs on network television.

SNL - Betty White

Betty White is a legend. There aren't many people left who have been ON television for the entire timespan OF television and she is one of them. In fact, she goes back to the days of radio. Pick a decade of television and she was involved. I can't get over that.

All of this makes it quite impressive and fitting that a facebook petition to get Betty White to host SNL actually succeeded.

The show was pretty good. In particular, I enjoyed the census sketch.


However, for my money this will always be THE census sketch:

The Office... EXTRAS

Here are some Office DVD Extra Feature clips that I hadn't seen before that I thought were really good.

David Brent Goes for a Drive / Archbishop of Canterbury

"Ricky had had one of his great 'IDEAS', as I like to call them..."

If You Don't Know Me By Now (Bloopers)

I love how he clearly knows how ridiculous everything he's doing is. Because he's right.

David Brent Date #2 with Director's Commentary


"Desperate bloke up for it. Any chance?"

Just a Little Poke... There'll Be No More AAAHHHH.

I was excited when I heard that Roger Waters was going to be on. I was disappointed when I found that he's not the musical guest. But, in the end, this is quite a good interview. Instead of the usual "I had a weird experience at an airport recently" celeb chat, Jimmy actually asks some serious and interesting questions about the history of Pink Floyd and some of the myths and legends. I find that when it comes to legendary musical guests, "geeking out" makes for great interviews.

Part 1:

Part 2:

There's no reason to divide this interview into two clips.
