Michael B. Jordan Speaks On Getting Jacked, His Movie “Creed” And More (Video)
November 20, 2015
Commitment. To film making and to fitness. Get your bread, B. Respect. Above: Michael B. Jordan on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon chopping it up about his continuing the ‘Rocky’ movie franchise with his movie “Creed,” working with Sylvester Stallone, getting fit for the role and more.
I just remember seeing Rocky [and] Apollo Creed just being jacked, and I was like, “You know what, I gotta be close.”
Hoping this movie is the brother’s proper re-up …since the “Fantastic Four” reboot …you know. “Creed” ought to be good holiday movie watching though.

Comedy: Jimmy Fallon Sings “Hello” With Lionel Richie… Sort Of (Video)
October 2, 2015
Gotta love when Fallon goes old school; always a special musical comedic experience. Watch here above, as he turns in a rendition of Lionel Richie’s R&B classic “Hello.” He has landed the ultimate assist on this song/sketch, too; Mr. Lionel Richie himself. Well, his head, at least.
(What makes it funny is how they keep straight faces throughout the silliness they are putting down. Good stuff!)

So, Nicole Kidman was over to Jimmy Fallon’s apartment back in the day. A friend brought her over. Okay. And she was feeling dude. Okaaayyy. And…
…and NOTHING! Jimmy messed it up. Made no moves. She thought he was brushing her off; did not think he was interested in her at all. True story. Watch in disbelief as Nicole tells the story.

Chris Rock Speaks On His Two Kids, ‘Top Five’ And More (Video)
December 17, 2014
For real for real, Chris Rock has been in this game strong for decades. Short and plain: He knows some sh!t. Take this opportunity to eavesdrop on The Tonight Show convo that he and host Jimmy Fallon have (on a variety of hilarious topics).
On parenthood. Have a ton of kids… or none at all. Having just one is too much work!
On “Top Five.” It’s hard to write a script…but it’s not when you have no job!
On his rap deal. I was nice… never came out though. I’m the ‘Lance Armstrong’ of smart!
On jinky promoters. Offer you everything… BUT what you need. One offered me his girl (‘You want Sheryl?’)!
Too short and plain? Okay, watch the first clip above… and keep on after the jump. You’ll get it (e.g. the chuckles)!

Comedy: It’s The Fallon Family vs. The Roots On ‘Tonight Show Family Feud’ (Video)
September 10, 2014
Any and everybody has probably had a good belly laugh watching Steve Harvey host the long-running syndicated game show Family Feud. The clips on the Internet alone crack me up every time I see them. Well, as Jimmy Fallon’s guest on The Tonight Show, Harvey hosts a mini-version of the game with Fallon heading one fam against Questlove and his Roots crew. And comedy ensues!
Of course, performers with a natural silly gene will really go for the funny; but some go overboard and mess it up. Not this though. Hilarious stuff. Never thought ‘ding dong’ could be so funny. C’mon, it’s late night TV… so they could go there a bit. Watch this bit (above).

Comedy: Jimmy Fallon And Kevin Hart Ride A Roller Coaster (Video)
June 19, 2014
Kevin Hart stops by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon…no doubt to promote “Think Like A Man Too” while the show is shooting at Universal Studios Florida.

Dave Chappelle Talks about His first Encounter with ‘The Roots’, Meeting Rising Star Kanye West, Upcoming Shows And More (Video)
June 17, 2014
Hahaaa! She thought Dave Chappelle was ‘a lost Root.’ Hearing Chappelle’s new stories about back-in-the-day stuff lets us know he’s still got plenty in the comedic tank. And it’s so effortless for him. The whole ‘Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon‘ clip is funny, but don’t be drinking anything when you’re playing the part about Dave’s first encounter with Kanye in the latter portion of the above clip.
Fair warning…
(More footage, from the top of the interview, after the jump.)
