The game of charades on tonight's Fallon was great. Bradley Cooper, Emma Thompson, Tim McGraw and Jimmy Fallon all playing charades together, and it even turned into a free for all at times. I really like that he uses the musical guests in other parts of the show and not just their performance at the end, even when it's musical guests I don't like (like U2 and Tim McGraw). I hope he keeps doing that kind of thing.

Tomorrow night he has Michelle Obama, Will Ferrell and Arcade Fire, so that's going to be one hell of a show.

Hahaha holy poo poo. Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg was on Conan tonight and brought his medal with him, and he had tweeted right after winning the medal that he wished Sochi medals were made out of bacon, so Conan had a bacon medal made for him and Sage took a bite out of his bacon medal on the show :allears:

Paul Rudd lip synching to Queen may be one the greatest things I've seen in my entire life. Tayne would have been proud.
For real.

I saw Anchorman 2 in theaters and loved it but I may go see this R-rated version in theaters because that clip he showed was amazing and I'm sure it'll be good for at least several laughs.

e: I'm watching tonight's Seth Meyers and it's just no fun. His monologue fell mostly flat for me, Fred Armisen is unfunny and a lovely band leader, his set isn't charming at all, the interview chair is stupid close to his desk, he did the audience plant thing that Conan does, and maybe other late night hosts do it too, but it wasn't funny at all here, he's just a standard interviewer at best, etc.

I mean this is only his second show, so maybe it just hasn't found its voice yet, but after seeing this, it seems like the type of show I'm only going to watch when there's a guest on that I really want to see unless I start hearing good reviews about it in the future that make me want to tune in.

Kanye totally stole the show in this episode, as he often does.

There's something about watching Lindsay Lohan and Jimmy Fallon play Water War that's incredibly charming to me. So far this Tonight Show has been more interesting to watch than Jay Leno's ever was. Conan's was a pretty interesting one too, but Fallon definitely feels like he's breathing new life into this show.

Goddamn Jimmy's Tonight Show is so much fun. That musical bit with Russell Crowe and Jimmy was awesome. Also that first joke from Joan Rivers was loving ballsy. She's funny as hell. Good to see her back on the show after being basically banned for so long.
Seriously. I'm actually watching it right now (had DVRed it earlier) and I'm watching Joan's part and she's loving hilarious. So many people give her poo poo, but man, she can still knock it out of the park way more than most people her age and even people younger than her.

Why exactly was she banned from the show? I'd never heard about that. Did her jokes go too far?

Hahahaha, Conan launching a humongous steak from a catapult at one end of a basketball court to try to make it into the basket at the other end of the court was amazing. Don't think he's done something like that since his week of Chicago shows and it was hilarious then too.

Jesus Christ. So I DVRed the Pete Holmes show tonight because I saw on a commercial during Conan that Jason Mantzoukas was on tonight, and I'm watching it now. I literally had to fast forward after a minute or two of the monologue and then a minute or two of the skit because they were both painfully unfunny. How does this dude still have a show? Lopez Tonight was funnier than this poo poo.

Watching Craig's TPIR episode. This is really fun :D I'm not usually a fan of his Late Late Show, but man, he is a great fit for TPIR.

This is the most enjoyable part:

Robnoxious posted:

I like how genuinely excited and amazed Craig was for the TPIR contestants when they were doing well in their pricing games (especially the woman who made a really good run at the Lucky Seven game). He sometimes seemed overwhelmed by the pure high energy TPIR contestants bring to the table, which to be fair they are always over-caffeinated hyperactive nutballs. If Disneyland is "The Happiest Place on Earth" then Studio 33 at Television City, Hollywood is a very close second.
I don't watch TPIR regularly but I definitely would if Craig became the new host. I've seen Drew's TPIR before and it just doesn't have the same energy level as this.

Also the audience seems confused as hell anytime Geoff comes on screen and it's loving hilarious :lol:

Guess it was announced too late to be an April Fools joke :v:

Part of me admires the guy for doing it for so long, but another part of me is glad he's getting out because I rarely find him funny when I watch his show. He does have some of the best musical guests on his show, I'll give the show that. Although I don't know how much of that is his influence.

It would suck to lose the character and his show, it's one of the more unique and consistently great shows on TV. But if you've heard Colbert in normal conversation, he's very likable and unlike on The Report, capable of doing a good interview. He did a long sit down with Neil Degrasse Tyson at a university and it's very entertaining.

I heard him out of character on a podcast once (after the whole Daft Punk not showing up on his show thing happened last year) and he's very intelligent, but I've never seen him do an interview out of character before. I'll have to check this out because I love him and NDT.

I believe prior to the character, he pronounced it as "col-bert"
That's not the correct pronunciation though, is it? There was a street in the neighborhood I grew up in as a kid called Colbert Street and nobody in the area called it Col-bert. It was always Col-bear. I'd been hearing it pronounced like that for years before Stephen's show even premiered.

I'm watching the MTV Movie Awards which I had DVRed last night and Conan is the best host they've ever had and probably will ever have.
