Balls in your Mouth

Oh hush your fuss, after you watch this clip you won't stop being able to stop saying it either.

If you watch Late Night TV you are probably partial to a particular guy. It used to be the choice between Letterman or Leno; and more recently in the news was the drama between Conan And Jay over the ideal time slot on NBC. Personally, I'm a Conan fan. Jay's jokes always seemed too easy for me, and Conan knew how to appeal to my generation. When Conan left, I had a choice to make. After all, Matt and I had a routine of dvr'ing Conan and watching it the next day during dinner and I wasn't going to let a deep rooted tradition (ha) such as that go by the wayside. We could go Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel, Letterman, cross to the dark side with Jay?

Pretty quickly we decided on
Jimmy Fallon, our old buddy from SNL. Honestly, the guests aren't quite on par with what the Great Conando could pull in, but he is just as funny and even more lovable. He brings in an old style of talk show where he has reoccuring games that he plays with his guests and audience. I mean, Beer Pong with Betty White was classic. Or his "Thank You Notes" session where he "thanks" current news topics for being idiots. Pros and Cons are always good, as well as Spit Takes where the Taker tells a joke and the Spitter has to time and release a mouthfull of water directly into their buddy' face. Gross? Yes it is, but it's amazing what you do to win an "Eff Off" t-shirt. Oh, and did I mention the show's band? It's the Roots! Yes, the Roots who have been incredible for years. Their comedic timing and creativity is evident every show, so even if the guests are lame, you get a mini concert.

Here's a sample of just how adorable and funny Mr. Fallon is with his original song, "Balls in your Mouth", inspired by the BP oil spill tar balls that were floating around the gulf.
**Warning** This is highly contagious and may give you earworm
