Michelle Obama Surprises Fans Recording Goodbye Messages to Her


Michelle Obama has been a fantastic First Lady. She's worked hard to improve the physical health in this country, improve our educational system, and has shown women everywhere how to carry themselves with dignity, class, and grace.

I'm not alone in feeling this way. The Tonight Show had fans record goodbye messages to the First Lady, and they're incredibly heartfelt and touching. The best part? Michelle and Jimmy Fallon are backstage watching people record their messages. When they're finished, they get greeted by Michelle and Jimmy. And everyone's reactions are wonderful. Check it out, and thanks Michelle. We'll miss you.

Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis Can't Fight This Feeling


Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis played long-lost brothers on the Fox TV show The Last Man on Earth. One of the running jokes on the show is that they love to sing duets, but only one song ever makes an appearance on the show: REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling."

By the time the pair appeared on The Tonight Show, their routine was fully perfected. Host Jimmy Fallon loves to sing as well, but the "brothers" may have him beat.

Ricky Gervais Does Amazing Impressions in 30 Seconds


Ricky Gervais claims that he's a brilliant impressionist, and Jimmy Fallon wanted to put him to the test. The Tonight Show host challenged Gervais to do as many impressions as he could in 30 seconds. To be fair, Gervais was being a little cocky Star Fox and brought it on himself, but Fallon is more than game to give him some names to impersonate. So...how did Gervais do? You'll just have to check out the video above to find out.

Slow Jam the News with Barack Obama


The Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon both greatly benefit from having The Roots as their house band. Not only do they provide terrific music, they offer awesome side sketches, like their "Classroom Instruments" chaos, and they can slow jam with the best of them.

The latter was on display, as Fallon welcomed President Obama into the studio for a little slow jamming of the news. It's marvelous, and a terrific reminder that we never have, and likely never will, have another president quite like Barack Obama. Let's enjoy these last few months he's in office.

John Krasinski and Jimmy Fallon Play "Word Sneak"


The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is all about its ridiculous games, and it's even better when the guests are very willing participants.

John Krasinski was out promoting his new Broadway play, Dry Powder, and he joined the host in playing "Word Sneak," one such ridiculous game. In it, the two men each get a list of words they must casually work into conversation. It's stupid and silly, which is a pretty good formula for a laugh or two. Enjoy!

NFL Players Read Their Own Superlatives


Life as an NFL star is tough. You get repeatedly beaten up each week, you have to deal with the media asking inane questions, and you often are compared to random things, like the cartoon Dilbert.

But these players are tough, and a handful of them appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to discuss their own superlatives. Find out what Clay Matthews, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Rob Gronkowski and more look like, all for your enjoyment.

Peyton Manning Talks To Cardboard Cutout Of His Brother


You may remember the very blank stare from Eli Manning after big brother Peyton's Broncos scored the final touchdown of Super Bowl 50. Both Manning brothers have come out and said Eli was simply thinking football, and dissecting whether Peyton and the Broncs should have gone for two. They should have, did, and converted. Amazing.

Of course, Peyton is having some fun with all this. He appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and had a conversation with a cutout of Eli, the joke being that this is just his routine look. And honestly, that's not that far off.

Jimmy Fallon Plays Catchphrase With Kirsten Dunst And Will Smith




Catchphrase is one of those games that everyone loves. Probably because it's so dang easy to play, and if you know your partners well, you can kick some serious butt.

The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon capitalized on the game's popularity with its own installment, featuring The Roots' Tariq and Will Smith taking on Fallon and Kirsten Dunst. Who will win? Well, you'll just have to click to find out. What a teaser!

Kenan and Kel Bring Back "Good Burger" On Tonight Show




Jimmy Fallon was reminiscing on The Tonight Show the other day about his first job. It was at a place known as Good Burger, and he worked alongside a similarly clueless individual named Ed. The eatery was always busy despite the incompetence of its workers.

Of course, this is simply a flashback to one of the 90s greats, Good Burger. It started as a sketch on All That, and eventually became its own feature film, starring Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell alongside such great cameos as Sinbad and Shaquille O'Neal. This sketch isn't really on par with past segments, but it's still a terrific dose of nostalgia. Plus Fallon's airhead character is quite wonderful.

Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon Play Drinko, A Parody of Plinko




Jimmy Fallon was absent from The Tonight Show for two weeks due to a horrifying "ring aversion" injury. Do not Google it. It's not worth it. Basically his finger came off and was sideways after he got his wedding ring caught on a countertop while he was slipping on a rug. Ouch.

Fortunately, he's recovered now, and is able to play Drinko with Paul Rudd, which appears to be a parody of Plinko from The Price is Right, which requires the host and Rudd to drink things. Also ouch. This whole thing gets a thumbs up from me for Rudd's obscure 2XL reference. I loved that toy growing up.

Jimmy Fallon Plays Pictionary With LL Cool J, Rose Byrne and Big Sean




Pictionary is still a terrific game, even though I'm dreadful at it. And Jimmy Fallon knows that, so he invited LL Cool J, Rose Byrne and Big Sean to play with him. LL Cool J claims that he cannot draw at all. He soon proves himself correct. Enjoy the shenanigans.

Villanova Piccolo Girl Joins The Roots On The Tonight Show

 

Villanova student Roxanne Chalifoux has had quite the tumultuous week. After her Wildcats were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by North Carolina State, the TBS cameras caught her crying while still trudging along and playing her piccolo. Naturally, the internet had a field day with it.

Jimmy Fallon gets in on the fun, too, inviting her to play with The Tonight Show house band The Roots. She also gets a swag pack, complete with a ton of mementos and two Taylor Swift tickets. All for crying on national television. Dang. I better work on my tearing up methods. Someone grab a camera, quick.

Jimmy Fallon Returns With More Lip Syncing, Joined By Will Ferrell And Kevin Hart


The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon has a lot of recurring segments, but one of the more popular ones is the lip-syncing battles he has with guests on the show. To celebrate the Super Bowl, he tried to go "epic" with Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. There are some good moments in here, and if you're a fan of the previous lip syncs, you won't be let down.

J.J. Watt Jumps Over Jimmy Kimmel And Guillermo


Okay, so the title of this video is a little bit of a misnomer. J.J. Watt doesn't necessarily jump over Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo as he does jump on them. But don't worry--there's a box covering their heads, so Watt doesn't crush them entirely. And he's wearing a suit for extra style points. Enjoy.

Jimmy Fallon and Steve Carell Join Forces To Perform Barbershop Quartet Version Of Sexual Healing

 
I've always wanted to perform in a barbershop quartet. It just seems so jovial and fun. Jimmy Fallon and Steve Carell both get to live out that dream, as they perform Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" with The Tonight Show barbershop quartet The Ragtime Gals. Groovy good stuff.

Jimmy Fallon and Matthew McConaughey Break Each Other's Faces



The game is Facebreakers. The objective: to break your opponent's face. Simple enough, right?

Of course, Jimmy Fallon and Matthew McConaughey aren't actually breaking each other's faces. Rather, they're throwing footballs at glass pictures of themselves. And even though there are some truly bad throws in here, both Fallon and McConaughey were lightyears better than Andy Dalton was on Thursday night.

Bradley Cooper Plays Egg Russian Roulette With Jimmy Fallon


Who knew that breaking an egg over your head could be so suspenseful? Bradley Cooper joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, and after an interview that was probably about 90% the two of them giggling (mostly due to those silly hats they have on), they played a game of Egg Russian Roulette. And it was INTENSE. Enjoy!

Jimmy Fallon Plays "Password" With Jim Parsons, Emma Thompson and Michael Cera



Password is one of my favorite game shows, just because it's a nice combination of actual intelligence/cleverness and complete idiocy. That's in full effect here, when Jimmy Fallon played the game on The Tonight Show. Jim Parsons makes up the other half of "Team Jimmy," and together they take on Emma Thompson and Michael Cera. All sorts of rules are just trampled on in this game, but oh well, it's still an entertaining segment.

Andy Samberg and Jimmy Fallon Square Off In 5-Second Movie Summaries



The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon featured a nifty little game the other night, entitled "5-Second Summaries." Guest Andy Samberg and Jimmy Fallon tried to describe a movie in just five seconds, and the other had to guess. Not sure if the prize is Sambergers, Zuckerbergers, or just pride, but it's pretty entertaining. Well job, you two.
