As an Aussie The Tonight Show is not something that would necessarily appear on my radar. But about a month ago I started recording it on Foxtel because I was annoyed that my daily dose of free-to-air midday Ellen seemed to be all repeats. I needed something else to make me smirk as I ate my lunch and folded my laundry in my work-from-home space. Hello Jimmy!
No seriously.
HELLOOOOOOOO JIMMY!!
I love this guy. Witty, talented, charistmatic .... and it turns out he can also sing.
Check out this clip of him singing a history of duets with Kelly Clarkson. He can sing! Not only sing ... but sing in character. What's not to love?
Again, as an Aussie, I didn't really know much about him. However I imagine the entire US population are aware of his qualities as no doubt he has a history that made him the perfect candidate to be the new Tonight Show host. I think Saturday Night live rings a bell? Plus there may have been a middle-of-the-night show with him as host? Dunno.
I remember seeing the The Tonight Show when it was hosted by both Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. Meh. It was OK I guess but I really didn't understand why it was so popular. I definitely wouldn't press record and series link it.
Then Jimmy came along.
HELLOOOOOOOO JIMMY!!
I think I might be in love.
Sorry Derek ... you're still my main man, but Jimmy has swagger. He's now on my "list" (in the spot vacated by Simon Baker*).
So that's what's being series linked at my end of the world right now.
Anyone else a Jimmy Fallon fan?
*Simon didn't do anything wrong. I just outgrew him. I wonder if he'll miss me?
