Kevin Bacon is on the show to promote his show "The Following" and it just so happens to be the 30th anniversary of the release of the movie "Footloose".
Here's where it gets a little strange though. Apropos of nothing, Jimmy reveals that there's a Tonight Show rule that dancing is not allowed. It's unclear whether he just declared that himself or if it was a pre-existing rule but either way, dancing is against the rules. So then this happens...

Youtube Irony
I can't really explain this without giving it away so I'll just say here's some irony via youtube (or maybe "serendipity" is a better word):
Incidentally, the interviewer at the beginning is Steve Merchant, co-creator of The Office.

Peanuts Teaser Trailer
This caught me by surprise...
Let's face it, there are a million ways that they'll screw this up... but for the time being, I'm excited.

The Tonight Show - Ice Cream Date
When the monologue turns to the subject of Tinder, the whole show takes a slight detour...
Later in the show we got a small update on the date but it was still very vague and I'm not sure of the situation. I was wondering about the girl to her right. She seemed to be with them and was left alone but Jimmy didn't inquire about the full story.

Movie Review: The Bridge (2006)
The Bridge (2006)
The Golden Gate Bridge is the suicide "capitol of the world". Documentary filmmakers filmed it for a year, capturing actual suicide footage and then interviewed the friends and family members of the deceased to learn their story. The film is the fullest exploration of suicide I've ever seen - it explores mental illness, the causes of suicide, the warning signs and the pain that's left for the living.
The most harrowing story (and the one that made me watch the movie) is a man who decides to kill himself and realizes he's made a huge mistake the second his hands let go. It's absolutely chilling. But he survives to tell others his experience.
Obviously, with this subject matter, the movie is extremely intense. It's an experience that's not for everyone... and it's not something that I'm going to watch on repeat... but it is well made and powerful.
8.5/10.

2014 Cardboard Classic
Preston and Steve's tradition continues... the 2014 Cardboard Classic. People create sleds out of nothing but cardboard, tape and glue and then ride them down a ski slope.
