Comedy: Terry Crews And Jimmy Fallon ‘Nip Sync’ A Classic (Video)
May 22, 2014
Bring Terry Crews into pretty much any situation and turn him loose, and hilarity will ensue. But pair him up with the clown prince of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, and you have a unique brand of silliness on tap. No tap, but check out the duo ‘performing’ Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney’s tender soul classic “Ebony and Ivory” in a … “manly” way. Crazy. Crazy!
CORRECTION: This is a ‘nip sync’ duet (perhaps the first ever)!

Jimmy Fallon x Lebron James – “Wastepaper Basketball” (Video)
March 6, 2014
A couple of things are clear by now. Jimmy Fallon (1) loves Hip-Hop (especially from the 1980s) AND (2) loves putting together surprise duet sketches that make jaws drop in the happiest reminiscing ways. This one above. A remake of “Basketball” by Mr. Kurtis Blow (uh-huh-huh-huh-huh)… that he calls “Wastepaper Basketball”… featuring NBA Champion Heat flown in from Miami… Lebron James! And yeah, they both flow on this. Click play and watch ’em play; and just try not to smile. Salute to The Tonight Show.

Bill Cosby Being ‘Himself’ With Jimmy Fallon and The Roots (Video)
January 8, 2013
You know, I’ve seen so much video of Bill Cosby in serious activist mode… I almost forgot how funny he could be. By the way, ‘Bill Cosby Himself‘ is one of the three funniest stand-up comedy specials of all time. Just saying. The ‘Dad is Great…’ bit The Roots does here comes straight from that Cosby stand-up back in the day.
Above is part 1 of the first King of Must-See TV on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon… clowning with the host and Late Night’s Greatest Band, The Roots. Hahahaaaa! Check out part 2 after the jump (where the antics continue). So… is it like that in Philly for real JayForce?
(BONUS: I embedded a YouTube of ‘Bill Cosby Himself’ after the jump. Check it out. And you’re welcome!)

Big Boi x Little Dragon Perform ‘Mama Told Me’ On Jimmy Fallon (Video)
December 8, 2012
I remember a while back Big Boi tweeted that he was working with Little Dragon for a song on his new album ‘Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors’ that drops this Tuesday December 11th. Upon glancing over the tracklisting I’m surprised to see a few songs featuring Little Dragon will make the album. One of my favorites singles from the album “Mama Told Me” featuring Kelly Rowland was originally done with the Swedish band as well. Check out the video of Big Boi & Little Dragon performing “Mama Told Me” on Jimmy Fallon last night above then download the original version of the song below.

Alicia Keys Loves Her Some ‘Gummi Bears’ (Video)
November 26, 2012
Who doesn’t love Alicia Keys? As she performs her soulful rendition of the theme to the 1990s cartoon ‘Adventures of the Gummi Bears’ on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, you kind of want to laugh… but you’re kind of saying to yourself… ‘Alicia knows she can sing anything!’
On top of that, she is just that damn fine. You can laugh though. Alicia won’t be offended… mainly because she won’t find out that you did. At least, not from us. Hahaaaaa.

WWE wrestler & movie star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night to speak on his family’s history in wrestling, upcoming projects & more. I chuckled out loud at The Roots choice of theme music for the ‘The Rock’ to walk out to in their use of The Whispers classic 80s R&B record “Rock Steady”…
