Watch Conan O’Brien Star in an Awful ’80s Training Video
This may sound hard to believe, but back when Conan O'Brien arrived in Los Angeles as a starry-eyed (and possibly starving) television writer about three decades ago, gigs weren't just raining from the sky. The future late-night host had to take on some strange bits to make ends meet, including popping up in this NAMM (that's National Association of Music Merchants, in case you're not hip to esoteric professional groups) training video as the "opinionated type of customer."
Ricky Gervais Gets Sloppy When Playing Jimmy Fallon’s Word Sneak
When 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon conscripted guest Ricky Gervais into playing a round of Word Sneak, which requires players to "sneak" offbeat words into everyday conversations without laughing so hard their guts bust, Gervais managed to quite effortlessly insert his first word without too much trouble. Things went downhill from there, quite frankly, and never really recovered.
Norm Macdonald Has Just One Minute to Audition for ‘The Late Late Show’
Although we don't know what's going to happen to CBS' 'The Late Late Show' after Craig Ferguson steps down from the gig later this year, comedian Norm Macdonald sure knows what he wants to happen. He wants that job! Mainly because the former 'SNL' star thinks it's kind of an easy position to fill. Could he possibly be right?
Will Ferrell and Celebrity Doppelgänger Chad Smith Hit ‘The Tonight Show’ With an Epic Drum-Off
Will Ferrell is no stranger to rivalries, but although the star might be used to coming to blows with John C. Reilly on the big screen (remember 'Step Brothers' and 'Talladega Nights'? yeah, ya do), it seems like he's taking his act to the small screen with a new nemesis. On last night's 'Tonight Show,' a seriously revved up Ferrell hit host Jimmy Fallon's stage alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, who just so happens to look startlingly like Ferrell.
Jennifer Lawrence Admits to Puking at a Fancy Oscars Party, Loves Harry Potter
Jennifer Lawrence is just like us, you guys. She goes to fancy parties with her best friend and yells things at people she likes and then maybe, possibly, totally throws up on a porch. It's just that the details are a little different when it comes to the celeb -- like the people she yells at are stars like Brad Pitt, and she goes to fancy parties after events like the Oscars, and she might be tossing her cookies on the porch of Madonna's manager. Normal. Not normal? And who judged her for said puking, a story the it-girl shared with Seth Meyers on his 'Late Night' last night?
Hugh Jackman’s Cooler Scooter Race With Jimmy Fallon Is the Perfect American Pastime
With Memorial Day glimmering on the horizon like a big, shiny, pre-summer gift, 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon is already celebrating the great American holiday. And what better way to celebrate such a holiday than to convince beloved star of stage and screen, Hugh Jackman (who, yes, he is Australian, but is adored by all nationalities), to nearly die while riding a cooler onscreen?
Playing Charades With Jimmy Fallon Might Be Josh Hartnett’s Best Role Yet
Perhaps 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon realizes that his games are in need of a little spice -- like springing surprise guests on his audience and other guests. That said, hey, Josh Harnett! Welcome to charades on 'The Tonight Show' with Fallon, Steve Higgins and Charlize Theron. Everything is just coming up Hartnett these days, isn't it? Jimmy even introduced you as the star of a hit show! Success!
Kendall Jenner’s Billboard Music Awards Flub: Jimmy Kimmel Reveals What Really Happened
When Kendall Jenner took the stage at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards, things seemed promising. The younger sister of the Kardashian siblings was tasked with introducing the band 5 Seconds of Summer (admittedly, kind of a hard name to say). While she was able to get a lot of facts down about the band (they are a band! they are on the Billboard charts!), she totally fell down on actually saying their name, which is kind of an essential part of introducing someone. Oops!
Eric Stonestreet’s Biggest Mistake? Googling “Eric Stonestreet Nude”
Don't Google "Eric Stonestreet naked." How about just you don't Google anyone naked? The 'Modern Family' star learned the hard way that it's best not to Google yourself for any reason, because you never know what horrifying stuff will pop up -- especially given the Photoshop talents of so many of the Internet's biggest tro-- uh, fans. The Internet's biggest fans.
Terry Crews and Jimmy Fallon Perform World’s First Nip-Syncing Duet
Current action star and former football star Terry Crews hit the program last night, and we suspect he had no problem with Fallon's request to perform a nip sync together. No, really, a nip sync.
Africa Didn’t Change Adam Sandler In the Slightest, Proves It By Reading Drew Barrymore’s Diary
Oftentimes when stars film new features in exotic locations, they'll spend the majority of their press tour talking about how much the new place changed them and their perspectives and their very souls. That didn't happen to Adam Sandler. The 'Blended' star hit 'The Late Show' last night, and although he quite admirably tried to convince host David Letterman that filming his new comedy with Drew B
Meet the Maya Rudolph ‘SNL’ Sketch That Never Was: ‘Jingle Singers’
Seth Meyers essentially unleashed the creative floodgates of his former 'SNL' brethren with his 'Second Chance Theatre.' The host unveiled the new segment on 'Late Night' earlier this week, thanks to the instant classic that was Will Forte's 'Jennjamin Franklin,' his favorite sketch that never made it to the 'SNL' screen but got new life when Meyers let Forte and friends perform it on the 'Late Ni
Jennifer Lawrence on Getting “Freak”-y In Front of J-Lo, Plays Box of Lies With Jimmy Fallon
Jennifer Lawrence has some serious beef with 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon. The dynamic duo apparently had one heck of a J-Lo-centric plan after this year's Oscar ceremony, a dazzling routine of dancing and charm that was meant to end with Fallon and Lawrence presenting themselves to Jennifer Lopez herself, declaring, "Dance with us!"
Maya Rudolph’s ‘Unqualified Advice’ for Job Seekers Calls for “Porky Pigging It”
Maya Rudolph is really good at a lot of things -- stuff she gets to do professionally, which is awesome for both her and us -- but she's also deeply terrible at a wide variety of skills, like giving some 'Tonight Show'-branded 'Unqualified Advice' to fans looking for some practical and financially minded advice.
Tina Fey Reveals the Origin of “Fart Doctor” From ’30 Rock,’ and More Worst ‘SNL’ Pitches
Seth Meyers' 'Late Night' just recently unveiled its Second Chance Theatre, an attempt to let former 'SNL' performers have a venue to show off beloved sketches that never made it to the air on the venerable comedy show. Meyers, however, is not the only former 'SNL' head writer to recycle old material -- Tina Fey did it, too!
Big Mouth Lance Bass and Kid-Voiced ‘Game of Thrones’ Are Jimmy Fallon’s Best Suggestions
Jimmy Fallon's hardcore viewership has some (let's put it delicately) extremely weird demands for what they want to see on his 'Tonight Show,' including one request replicate the Big Mouth Billy Bass that served as everyone's go-to white elephant gift a few years ago. There's no way that fan thought asking Fallon to include such a gag on his show would end with Lance Bass (of *NSYNC fame) replicat
Mets-Branded Bucket Hat Guy Bests Jimmy Fallon in Wacky Word Challenge
Do you like word association? No, wait, don't answer that, because there's simply no way you like word association as much as unexpected 'Tonight Show' star "Mets Bucket Hat Guy," who hit Jimmy Fallon's show last night for an association challenge that may actually leave your head spinning. It's both totally exhausting and weirdly exhilarating.
‘Game of Thrones’ Author George R.R. Martin Has a Good Reason for Using a DOS Word Processor
Here's something you're not going to see in the 'Game of Thrones' books nor in episodes of the HBO series based on author George R.R. Martin's beloved series: computer technology. Here's something you're not going to see in George R.R. Martin's office: computer technology.
‘SNL’ Deleted Sketches Find New Life on Seth Meyers’ ‘Second Chance Theatre’
Over the years, 'SNL' nixed its fair share of sketches from their late-night installments -- for one, take a look at this bizarre sketch from Andrew Garfield's latest hosting run -- but now they're getting a second chance to see the light of day. Seth Meyers, who served as 'SNL' head writer for nearly 10 years, is determined to resurrect some never-aired favorites for his new audience on 'Late Nig
Jimmy Fallon Wants Your Weird Screengrabs for ‘The Tonight Show’
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon has been farming out plenty of his gags lately, asking his audience to send in various funny bits as they fit certain themes. Last night, he shared a batch of loyal fan-submitted screengrabs from both the internet and television -- a selection of some strange pictures, mismatched text, and a Captcha so bizarre that its hidden message popped up (tee hee) throughout
