Not only does Nikki Glaser deliver a flawless late night set on last Friday’s Tonight Show, but does so while giving love yet another chance (perhaps, one after a few too many?).
Whatever the case may be, Glaser delivery, timing, writing, etc. are all on point on top of the material being perfectly threaded together.
Nate Bargatze is the perfect combination of a keen comedic observer and a folksy storyteller and this latest set on The Tonight Show is a perfect example of that.
Watch and enjoy it here.
Simply, we love that one, Jacqueline Novak, used the platform that a late night stand-up set on The Tonight Show provides to lay down the law when it comes to sharing fries when going out.
Also, we love the unexpected, but wholly wonderful twirling that happens during this set on last week’s Fallon.
Please watch and enjoy it here.
Always balancing a bouncy, spirited energy with a bit of cynicism, Bonnie McFarlane proved once again that she is one of our favorite people to watch do stand-up on late night with her set on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Please enjoy it here.
If you’re in the NYC, LA, or Chicago comedy scene, you’ve might have caught wind of the name Jaboukie Young-White (especially after this Vulture list).
Well, here’s to more than just hearing his name at various comedy showcases as Jaboukie just landed his first televised stand-up set on The Tonight Show, which aired last night. Seeing him for ourselves, we won’t be surprised to see him making the rounds more regularly on TV next year.
Enjoy his delightfully mischievous set here.
No matter what holiday you’re celebrating/observing this season, Kate Berlant and John Early show us the true meaning of it all in their bit on The Tonight Show.
Watch, listen, learn, and enjoy it here.
After the announced shuddering of Seeso, the fate of the Paul Reiser and David Gordon Green-produced series, There’s… Johnny really seemed to hang in the balance.
Fortunately, Hulu stepped in and will be streaming the show on their platform starting Thursday, November 16th.
There’s… Johnny focuses on the behind the scenes happenings at The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and even uses actual Tonight Show footage. If you’ve been on board for I’m Dying Up Here, this will be another look into comedy in the 70s that you might enjoy.
See for yourself with the first full trailer here.
In case you didn’t know, Nate Bargatze is one of the Tonight Show’s absolute favorite comedians.
This set is a yet another example of why Nate keeps getting asked back. Also, this is the first time that we can remember that Nate, or really anyone in recent memory for that matter, has opened up with a story of murder on a family friendly late night talk show. Of course, it being Nate, it went pretty swell.
As we’ve said before, there are a few comics out there that are built to do sets on late night.
Nikki Glaser is one of the comics and, again, showed why on her recent set from The Tonight Show.
She also made one of the most enjoyable impressions we’ve seen of Jennifer Aniston yet.
For decades now, one of the best guests in the whole world of late night is Norm Macdonald.
You can lose a whole afternoon, evening, and more going down a rabbit hole looking up all of his appearances on Conan, Letterman, etc.
Joe Zimmerman is, and has been for years, a delight to watch and proves that with his latest late night set from last week’s Tonight Show.
In addition to this notch on what is sure to be one of many more instances of his stand-up making its way to TV, Joe Zimmerman shared a Dante’s-Inferno-esque hell gig story that has so many layers of absurdity that you almost can’t believe that he stuck it through to find his way to where he is now.
It’s a great example of the ridiculous amount of dedication that comedy demands.
We’re not going to give away too much here, so we’ll just say that NYC’s Josh Johnson had his late night stand-up debut on last night’s Tonight Show and there was a bit of a surprise that was some lovely icing on the cake.
Together, John Early and Kate Berlant are a force to be reckoned with.
Their late night debut from last night’s Fallon is a perfect showcase of just that.
This is just more evidence of the brilliant Jo Firestone’s ascent to her rightful place high up in comedy.
Also, we’re glad to see that this sketch was on Fallon and, perhaps, the beginning of a roll back on rubbing Trump’s hair last year.
In this particular political atmosphere of the moment, non-political comedy can get lost in the shuffle of Trump and Hillary based humor.
With that in mind, you should watch the recent stand-up sets of Nate Bargatze on The Tonight Show and Liza Treyger on Late Night. They’re both tight sets and are politics free, which is something we’re looking forward to seeing more of after this Tuesday.
Called “There’s Johnny!”, one will probably wonder how it stacks up next to The Larry Sanders Show.
Paul Reiser and David Steven Simon who worked together on Mad About You are teaming up again to write a show that focuses on what happened with the legendary Johnny Carson behind the scenes of his run at The Tonight Show.
David Gordon Green, who Reiser works with on Red Oaks, is set to produce with both Paul and Simon and might bring some very intriguing comedic flavor to this show.
We’ll find out what this ends up being on 2017 when it starts streaming on Seeso.
As Nikki Glaser isn’t currently busy with her great show Not Safe, she can do things like perform stand-up, the thing that got her on TV in the first place, on The Tonight Show.
You can see the latest offering of her whip-smart, clever stand-up here.
It just so happened that Norm MacDonald was on the same episode of The Tonight Show as GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and you would be foolish to think that Norm wouldn’t take advantage of the situation.
So, on last night’s Tonight Show, during his fun and mischievous interview, he released his medical records similar to the way that Trump did on Dr. Oz earlier that day.
Take note that this is the beginning of Norm making the rounds to promote his new memoir Based on a True Story and you should expect more expert level hijinks from him soon.
As Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland are about to take on Broadway, their real life counterparts Nick Kroll and John Mulaney went on The Tonight Show and explained to Jimmy Fallon and the rest of the country what’s at the core of both Faizon and St. Geegland and why they’re doing Oh, Hello.
Of course, Kroll and Mulaney have fun with it, especially in NBC Experience Store attire.
One of the people that knew Gene Wilder best was Mel Brooks.
With the unfortunate passing of Wilder happening this week, Brooks went on The Tonight Show and shared his fond memories of Gene and their collaborations on some of the comedies that time will never forget.
Tig Notaro shared a set of baby pictures that not only rank among the best baby pictures of all time, but deserve a round of applause for how clever they are in getting on the pretty much, squeaky clean Tonight Show.
Watch to see what stunt Tig pulled off here.
Mike Birbiglia is great for a lot of reasons.
Watch his latest movie Don’t Think Twice playing in limited release now and you can see plenty of those reasons.
Another reason is this great corollary that Mike adds to a Jimmy Fallon story that Jimmy tells on The Tonight Show.
If you’re scouting third party candidates to vote for in November, may we suggest Will Forte’s Tim Calhoun who just very meekly threw his name in the ring.
Brian Regan is a living legend of a comedian.
You can see why in his latest set on The Tonight Show where he breaks down the subject of press conferences to uproarious laughter and applause.
Jim Gaffigan really does have the “best” guide for showing your dad how much he means to you this Father’s Day.
