Following The Super Bowl, another fierce contest went down on a special episode of The Tonight Show with Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, and Jimmy Fallon moving their mouths in sync with pre-recorded music playing.
Ferrell, Hart, and Fallon all went for an all-out Lip Sync Battle, which does include Ferrell doing Drunk In Love.
The game Pictionary is simple enough as it’s basically charades, but utilizing drawing rather than acting out. It’s also been a game for several years, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable that people playing it would be, at least, decent at guessing words and phrases from drawings.
However, the duos of Martin Short/Jimmy Fallon and Jerry Seinfeld/Miranda Sings made for one great, rare edition of Pictionary on The Tonight Show that might be one of the more ridiculous, outlandish games that has ever been played.
We shouldn’t really need to say anything beyond the headline. You’re just going to watch Jim Gaffigan do stand-up on The Tonight Show because he’s Jim Gaffigan.
So, without further adieu, here’s his set from last night.
Jim Gaffigan’s book Food: A Love Story is out now and you should definitely pick up,
This also means he gets to make the rounds on late night and do “it” all again. By “it”, we mean be the undeniably hilarious Jim Gaffigan.
Watch his interview on The Tonight Show right here.
Kenny and Keith Lucas, better known as The Lucas Brothers, are having quite a week as the sketch show they star in, Friends of The People, premiered on truTV and, last night, they got to perform stand-up on The Tonight Show.
Watch their set and also learn an interesting fact about Space Jam we bet that you didn’t know here.
Bill Burr, Amy Schumer, Fred Armisen, Kevin Hart, Jimmy Fallon, and more will all be driving and grabbing in coffee in style with one Jerry Seinfeld in the fifth season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Just check out the trailer and watch Fallon be astonished, Burr smoke cigars during the day, and Hart be hesitant about getting in a fast car.
Season 5 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres Nov. 6th.
It has been a long time coming for John Mulaney ever since the wheels were turning for him to do a sitcom started turning. Yet, after switching networks and formats, the premiere of Mulaney is just around the corner, this Sunday in fact at 9:30PM on Fox,
Few things cement that fact more than his rounds on the late night talk show circuit which start at The Tonight Show. Also, you have to give it up for John getting who he got to do the voiceover for Mulaney’s intro.

The Tonight Show is going to take a week and come back to the West Coast next February. Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and company will first tape an episode in Phoenix right after the Super Bowl on Feb. 1st and will then head to Universal Studios Hollywood from Feb. 2nd-5th for a week of shows here in LA.
Fun fact: While The Tonight Show hasn’t been in LA since Jimmy Fallon took over as the host earlier this year, The Tonight Show hasn’t been on the Universal Studios backlot since The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.
Perhaps, there will be some fun crossover, rivalry bits between Conan and Fallon and Kimmel?
While on The Late Show with David Letterman this week, Jerry Seinfeld announced the premiere date of the brand new season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Come Nov. 6th, Seinfeld will unveil new episodes with new cars with the likes of Fred Armisen, Jimmy Fallon, and more. An episode of Joan Rivers was planned, but, as you well know, she passed away less than a month ago.
Also, note that this will be the 5th season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which makes us wonder if Jerry will keep this show running as long as the 9 seasons of Seinfeld.
While on The Tonight Show, Billy Crystal and Jimmy Fallon reminisce over the times they had with the late, but great Robin Williams.
Of course, they all revolve around Robin saying something hilarious, lightning quick. Watch the clip here.
Kurt Braunohler notched another great late night set in when he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It should make you all the more excited for Kurt’s upcoming CC:Studios series Roustabout.
Steve Harvey might be the host of the most entertaining incarnation of Family Feud. Just watch Paul Scheer give some love during a late night appearance.
If you’re in still in doubt, see Jimmy Fallon and company on The Tonight Show put Steve Harvey through the ringer on a special Tonight Show edition of Family Feud.
We could only hope that every episode of The Family Feud is this fun.
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim made their first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night and Tim managed to surprise Eric by blindfolding and using noise canceling headphones and not telling him he was going on The Tonight Show.
Chris Hardwick is qualified in many regards with hosting “@midnight”, numerous companion discussion shows like Talking Dead, being a stand-up comedian, as well as being the leader of Nerdist.
However, while waiting for his interview at The Tonight Show, Hardwick fielded some questions that don’t really pertain to any of that. Though it may be “unqualified advice” it still is very clever and funny, so long as you don’t carry out most of it.
Bill Cosby returned to The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon not to have his back jumped on as did happen on his last appearance, but rather to tell Jimmy his thoughts on the Cosby impression he does.
Also, per usual, Cosby tried leading Jimmy through some bits over and over until he gets it perfect.
With the tragic passing of Robin Williams this week, the world of late night would feel remiss if they didn’t collectively tip their hats to Williams.
Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers all put together a tribute on their respective shows featuring memorable past appearances of Williams. If you’re wondering why Letterman, Kimmel, The Daily Show, etc. aren’t doing the same, they’re simply not taping new episodes this week.
If you were potentially worried that you might not get to see the index finger of Chris Hardwick point to any number of comedians while yelling out “Points!” in 2015, then potentially worry no more.
As Hardwick stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he announced that the midnight hit at Comedy Central “@midnight” has been picked up for another year at Comedy Central and will run through 2015.
Chris and Jimmy also joked about the possibility of doing a crossover episode with this renewal, but we wouldn’t be surprised at all if The Tonight Show and “@midnight” despite their time slot conflict, did some sort of crossover.
They’ve done some crazy things on “@midnight” in case you haven’t regularly watched it.
In addition to the tomfoolery he had with TI and Jimmy Fallon, Will Arnett also further assured us that there will be a 5th season of Arrested Development on The Tonight Show last night after having revealed some details on The Today Show earlier.
Netflix’s Ted Sarandos was “positive” of a return, but Arnett made doubly sure to tell us all that it will be definitely happening.
However, there’s no telling what the timetable is for shooting or a release, especially considering everyone’s schedules.
Ron Funches has done Conan twice and is delightfully on his way to making the rounds around late night. Last night, he notched his first Tonight Show appearance only like Ron can (i.e. his one-of-a-kind comedy peppered with his undeniably charming laugh)
Aubrey Plaza chatted with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show and we learned a few more interesting things about Plaza like she’s awkwardly worked out with Richard Simmons.
She’s also on a basketball team and one, she is very serious about taking down other teams. Two, Aubrey Plaza and Morgan Murphy are on a basketball team together. Three, Questlove’s face when watching Aubrey doing a lay up is priceless.
This week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Nick Thune told the story of why he doesn’t imbibe or ingest marijuana anymore despite living here in LA where it’s completely legal.
Watch parts one and two and learn the dangers of just leaving your stash around for your wife or anyone else to find.

As you were probably hoping leading up to Dave’s return to Radio City Music Hall, Dave Chappelle is making the rounds on late night and having a good ol’ time.
Watch Dave talk how he deals with Twitter impostors and how he met The Roots and Kanye West for the first time.
Jimmy Fallon is Taking The Tonight Show to Orlando For a Week
Jimmy Fallon has not only made Tonight Show history simply by being the new host, but he will be the first host to take The Tonight Show out of its home studio and shoot remotely.
In mid-June, he’ll be down in Orlando and will tape a week of episodes. Considering how almost every other late night show has done something like this over the years, it’s about time this happened at The Tonight Show.
Last night, Louis C.K. was on both The Tonight Show and his own show Louie. In both appearances, C.K. detailed his suspicion, given a certain situation, the worst circumstances despite the outcome.
One case was Fallon mysterious disappearing and the other was what happens with one’s kids when taking the NYC subway.
