I mean, Jimmy Fallon is laughing at Jimmy Fallon’s jokes so...

Jimmy goddamn Fallon is making fun of OTHER people for not being funny?

Yeah, Meyer’s is the freshest of the bunch.

He should watch himself trying to talk Craig Furguson out of quitting.

In a lot of ways, Kimmel’s career trajectory is far weirder even than Conan’s. From “Guy who sits next to Ben Stein to make him seem personable” to “Cohost of weirdly regressive misogyny comedy show” to “Host of legitimate network late night show”. I’m not sure if he should never quit doing the show, or quit and see…

However, the desk chase sequence is pretty fun.

On the same note, The Babe Ruth Story from 1948. It was made as he was dying, and clearly no one was in the mind to make anything other than an utterly cheesy, fawning movie that damn near just says he was Jesus, most notoriously with a scene of a child cancer patient who’s miraculously cured after Ruth says “Hello”…

Agreed. When I first found out Goodman was cast as Ruth, I was like, “Ok, that might work”. Then I saw the movie and realized no, it did not. 

“The Greatest Showman” doesn’t fit here at all - in your own description you said it was highly-fictionalized. This film was not written to be a “biopic” and never advertised itself as such that I recall. 

WHAT. THE FUCK?!?

I mean, he's from New Jersey...

I almost feel bad for Nicky. Everything about this story screams stupid and mean dude who’s been stupid and mean since 4th grade. Extra credit if it was his own phone.

How the fuck is that funny, Nick? HOW? 

He doesn’t show up at all. The twins/Jimmy Jr. are still around, but presumably their dad is busy doing stuff that doesn’t involve storming the capitol.

His memoir, Even This I Get to Experience, is a great read. And it’s almost ten years old! It’ll be a sad day when we finally lose Norman Lear.

“No, Mister Bond. I expect you to didle-deedle-die!”

You can already tell Iman Vellani is going to steal the show. I’m also looking forward to the (flock?) of flerkens.

I feel like a Sarah Sherman/Molly Shannon two-hander would have been fertile ground for a weird character sketch, but I guess it was not to be. Maybe next time!

well it isn’t Ruth’s Chris, that’s for sure

As long as it’s not Kattan.
