VIDEO: Jimmy Fallon Spoofs a Sulky Robert Pattinson
Originally posted 10/30/2009 03:05PM
Attention Robert Pattinson fanatics: The world's most famous tortured bloodsucker can’t stand Halloween. Or at least that's the humorous way Late Show host Jimmy Fallon portrays a moody version of the Twilight star in the latest installment in his series Robert Is Bothered.
"Halloween bothers me," sulks Fallon-as-Pattinson. "Costumes are stupid. Are you a werewolf? No you're not, you're a person. You can't fool me. Jackass! No candy!"
"Pumpkins are dumb fat squashes," Fallon jokes in a fake British accent. "Candy corns are stupid. Are you a candy or are you corn?"
The skit follows previous Robert Is Bothered spoofs on Snickers ads and Shark Week.
Perhaps Pattinson should dress up as a certain late-night talk show host for Halloween?
Just a thought.

Jimmy Fallon Beats Tiger Woods at (Computer) Golf
Originally posted 06/25/2009 05:30PM
Tiger Woods just got beaten at his own game.
Although his face is on the box of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 video game, the golf pro showed that he's not the best player in the world – at least when it comes to the Wii. To promote the game, Woods played Jimmy Fallon in a three-hole showdown Thursday. Every stroke was shown on several huge video screens in Times Square, meaning thousands of New Yorkers had the opportunity to see Woods lose badly. ("You really stink," Fallon said to Woods right before the golfer conceded the game.)
But Woods was gracious in defeat. "Jimmy was far better than I thought," he told PEOPLE afterwards. "I heard that he's been playing quite a bit, so I knew he was going to be pretty good, but I didn't think he'd be that good."

Cameron Diaz Praises Jimmy Fallon at Webby Awards
Originally posted 06/09/2009 04:45PM
Cameron Diaz was in a festive – and complimentary – mood at Tuesday night's Webby Awards in New York where she presented the top award to Jimmy Fallon.
"I'm here because of a guy named Jimmy Fallon, you guys may know him, right?" she joked before presenting the newly-minted TV host with the Webby Person of the Year award at Cipriani Wall Street. "He seamlessly took over this little show called Late Night. Have you guys heard of that? Of course I'm just kidding, it's legendary."
Diaz went on to praise Fallon, who was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Nancy Juvonen, for "seamlessly" taking over the talk show previously hosted by Conan O'Brien.

No Joke: Jimmy Fallon Finally Gets His College Diploma
Originally posted 05/10/2009 10:50AM
Talk about your slow learners.
It's been 17 years in the making, but Jimmy Fallon finally received his bachelor's degree in communications from the College of Saint Rose in Albany, N.Y., Saturday. The NBC Late Night host, 34, was one of 1,800 students who donned a cap and gown and marched to the Pomp and Circumstance at the university's commencement ceremony at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
In addition to picking up his communications degree, the funnyman served as the keynote speaker and spoke to his fellow graduates.
"There's always going to be someone out there like that movie critic, who doesn't believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you're not smart enough," Fallon told the graduates. "But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing."

Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Fallon Win Big at the Webbys
Originally posted 05/05/2009 09:00AM
Looks like Sarah Silverman's fake hookup with Matt Damon is still paying off!
In September, the comedian won an Emmy for her hit song, "I'm F**king Matt Damon," and now the viral video nabbed her a best actress Webby award. Silverman was also honored with the best political video award for her "Great Schlep" video, a plea for Jewish kids to urge their grandparents to vote for Barack Obama.
Other high-profile Webby winners include Jimmy Fallon, who was named Webby person of the year for using the Internet, specifically his blog, to refine his talk show hosting skills before his late night debut. Lisa Kudrow won outstanding comedic performance for her Web-only series Web Therapy and rocker Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails was named Webby artist of the year.

Jimmy Fallon Has No Control Over His Glands
Originally posted 04/03/2009 01:35PM
Critics remarked that as the new Late Night host, Jimmy Fallon sure seems to sweat a lot. Thing is, Fallon noticed it, too.
"I never thought a human could sweat that much," Fallon, 34, told BlogTalkRadio host Brett Cohen. "I was sweating a lot my first show out. I was interviewing [Robert] De Niro. I was just so nervous and excited. It was such a big night for me."
Obviously. He ended up all wet. "Clearly, I have no control over my glands," he says. "My producer was laughing at me. He was like, 'I've never seen anyone sweat this much.' "
One possible solution: "We made the studio colder, just to help me out."

Justin Spoofs John Mayer on Late Night Premiere
Originally posted 03/03/2009 03:00PM
If imitation isn't the most sincere form of flattery, John Mayer better watch his back.
The singer was the subject of a killer (albeit slightly mocking) impersonation by his pal Justin Timberlake on Monday's premiere of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
"John Mayer is like if Macy Gray and Smokey Robinson," Timberlake started, before switching gears, "Actually, Macy Gray and Smokey the Bear, had a love child."
Riffing on Mayer's hit "Daughters," Timberlake – who most recently scored big laughs with his SNL spoof of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" video – then explained the technique behind impersonating Mayer's "solo face" saying, "Literally his tongue takes over."

Jimmy Fallon Is Ready for Late Night
Originally posted 02/19/2009 05:30PM
Jimmy Fallon already has two test shows under his belt and is eager to take over NBC's Late Night from current host Conan O'Brien on March 2.
"I'm anxious and excited and ready to have fun," Fallon told reporters Thursday. "I'm ready to go on tomorrow night – if NBC needs me, I'm ready!"
Asked what will separate his show from the competition, he says, "We're younger, we're into, like, tech stuff, gadgets, phones, video games. We'll treat a video-game premiere like a movie premiere. I'm just going to be honest with what I do, what I enjoy."
