October 2, 2015
Gotta love when Fallon goes old school; always a special musical comedic experience. Watch here above, as he turns in a rendition of Lionel Richie’s R&B classic “Hello.” He has landed the ultimate assist on this song/sketch, too; Mr. Lionel Richie himself. Well, his head, at least.
(What makes it funny is how they keep straight faces throughout the silliness they are putting down. Good stuff!)

So, Nicole Kidman was over to Jimmy Fallon’s apartment back in the day. A friend brought her over. Okay. And she was feeling dude. Okaaayyy. And…

Chris Rock Speaks On His Two Kids, ‘Top Five’ And More (Video)
December 17, 2014
For real for real, Chris Rock has been in this game strong for decades. Short and plain: He knows some sh!t. Take this opportunity to eavesdrop on The Tonight Show convo that he and host Jimmy Fallon have (on a variety of hilarious topics).
On parenthood. Have a ton of kids… or none at all. Having just one is too much work!
On “Top Five.” It’s hard to write a script…but it’s not when you have no job!
On his rap deal. I was nice… never came out though. I’m the ‘Lance Armstrong’ of smart!
On jinky promoters. Offer you everything… BUT what you need. One offered me his girl (‘You want Sheryl?’)!
Too short and plain? Okay, watch the first clip above… and keep on after the jump. You’ll get it (e.g. the chuckles)!

Dave Chappelle Talks about His first Encounter with ‘The Roots’, Meeting Rising Star Kanye West, Upcoming Shows And More (Video)
June 17, 2014
Hahaaa! She thought Dave Chappelle was ‘a lost Root.’ Hearing Chappelle’s new stories about back-in-the-day stuff lets us know he’s still got plenty in the comedic tank. And it’s so effortless for him. The whole ‘Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon‘ clip is funny, but don’t be drinking anything when you’re playing the part about Dave’s first encounter with Kanye in the latter portion of the above clip.
Fair warning…
(More footage, from the top of the interview, after the jump.)
