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.
Andrew Orvedahl, 1/3 of the amazing Grawlix out of Denver, just made his very first TV appearance last night, on The Tonight Show no less.
We’re sure after a great stand-up set like this, that there will be more late night sets coming for Andrew and perhaps a residual check from companies that manufacture drinking flasks everywhere.
Last night on The Tonight Show, Nick Kroll not only premiered a new character for when Kroll Show returns for its 3rd season on Comedy Central, he mentioned off hand that the show will be coming back January, only a few months from now.
We have no doubt that there will be preview clips, teasers, and a more specific date released before that time, but, for now, enjoy Kroll’s new character Señor Feature.
While on The Tonight Show, Ira Glass addressed some controversy he encountered recently when he tweeted some criticism after seeing Shakespeare’s King Lear. While he makes some salient points, Shakespeare fans would not have any of it, many of which write for highly influential magazines and used said station to call Glass out for his dissent from the Shakespeare canon.
Even with that, Glass isn’t entirely convinced to sway his opinion. Watch it all here.
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?
A month ago on The Tonight Show, Aubrey Plaza had a message for the “haterz”, specifically those that have or would ever talk trash about the basketball team she’s on known as The Pistol Shrimps.
Just in case you weren’t aware, it’s a real basketball team filled with hilarious women including Stephanie Allynne, Morgan Murphy, and more as well they’re own dance team that has more great comedy folks too.
They also have this awesome promo that you should watch right now whether you’re a hater or not.
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.
This week, Larry David gave a little, emphasis on “a little”, insight into what the upcoming Broadway play that he wrote and will star in called Fish in the Dark while on The Tonight Show.
He also, in very Larry David fashion, hopes that, if it bombs commercially and critically, that no one will be coming with pitchforks after him.

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.
For the last several weeks, many of all of our favorite late night programming has taken their summer vacations and we’ve all been left with reruns at 1 in the morning.
Now that Summer’s over, it’s all back to work for all of us, which includes brand new episodes of Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, Conan, Meyers, The Daily Show, “@midnight”, Colbert, and Ferguson (that’s Craig Ferguson mind you, not Ferguson, MO).
For tonight, you should especially watch Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris on Late Night with Seth Meyers (NBC 12:35AM) and Brett Gelman and Brooks Wheelan on Conan (TBS 11PM)
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.
The annual awards, The Streamys, that give distinction to the best video content online are back. Their comedy nominations have some of the usual suspects like Between Two Ferns, but the amazing ArScheerio Paul also got two nominations.
So, congratulations to: Parks and Recreation in Europe, Vandaveon and Mike, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, ArScheerio Paul, Between Two Ferns, “@midnight”, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and more.
Here’s the complete of nominees. The awards will be presented on Sept. 7th, streamed live of course.
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.
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.
Chris Rock is finally make a big return with a tour planned for October/November this year called, thanks to Kanye West, The Black Plague Tour.
Rock announced the tour last night on The Tonight Show and we all can’t wait. However, there hasn’t been any word about Rock and Chappelle touring together as rumors reported several months ago.
We’re glad Chris is back and hope he’ll be doing stuff like crashing Seth Meyers’ monologue more often.
