Mayor Bloomberg left U2 Way outside of Letterman's studio yesterday to make a cameo on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, welcoming the new host (and Brooklyn native) to New York. Overall the appearance was dry (the two posed for photos in front of images of City Hall, Rockefeller Plaza...Castle Grayskull), but it did serve as a way for Fallon to poke fun at the previous night's De Niro interview. Bloomberg declared that he wasn't sweating the city's economy as much as Fallon was "sweating last night with the interview with De Niro."
Bobby D was gracious in supporting the show but Fallon just couldn't get his lines over, or anything else over. And he leans so hard on Roots that soon they'll be Stumps. Potential history-making Fail.
