According to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan and obtained by TMZ, late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon is being sued by his former stage manger, Paul Tarascio, who claims he was demoted and then fired and replaced by a "totally incompetent woman." He's looking for punitive damages and lost wages. His beef? That Fallon replaced him because he wasn't a woman. more ›

The Muppets are no stranger to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon—they've made 13 appearances on the show since 2009, including a few Christmas-themed singalongs. Last night, Kermit and Robin (Kermit's nephew) showed up to sing "When The River Meets The Sea," a sweet little tune from the John Denver/The Muppets '70s album, with Fallon and The Roots. Watch it below! more ›

Jimmy Fallon's first stint as an Saturday Night Live host meant many veteran SNL performers showed up for the last show of 2011. Rachel Dratch was Denise to Fallon's Sully in the cold open; Amy Poehler showed up, too; Chris Kattan, Tracy Morgan and a svelte Hortaio Sanz performed a song with Fallon; and, in the highlight, Fallon and his Weekend Update co-host Tina Fey had a joke-off with current Update host Seth Meyers and Poehler. more ›

Following the controversial song choice ("Lyin' Ass Bitch") for Republican presidential Michele Bachmann's November appearance on Jimmy Fallon recently, The Roots drummer Questlove says he's now "gotta clear a lot of the song choices" with NBC first. Adding, "It's still a comedy show, so they promise not to step on my toes or that type of thing, but they definitely want to know the title of the song, the subject matter of the song, can it be seen as an insult." more ›

As many of you tuck into your Thanksgiving meals (or perhaps you're already taken your Thanksgiving nap and are going to have leftovers tonight!), contemplate whether you would want to have Thanksgiving with Semi-homemade guru Sandra Lee. On the one hand, Lee is charming, but, on the other, do you really want to eat something from a lady who makes lasagna with tomato soup and cream cheese? Check out these videos from last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. more ›

This week Jimmy Fallon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt showed off their karaoke skills, singing as David Bowie and Axl Rose, respectively. If you didn't get a chance to see Radiohead last night, this won't make you feel any better... but it's somethin'. more ›

Just in time for your big Labor Day cookouts, Martha Stewart-on-crack expert Amy Sedaris stopped by Jimmy Fallon last night to show him and buddy Will Forte how to cook hotdogs with a rake ("because some people can't afford sticks."). Jimmy has some trouble shimmying his dogs onto the rake, but Amy give him a hands-on lesson in the proper technique, proving that is never not funny to watch a woman manhandle wieners. Is there anything this woman cannot do? Behold: more ›

We knew there was a reason people think he's the best mayor this town's ever seen! Rudy Giuliani, who's been busy hosting AMC's Mob Week, visited Jimmy Fallon last night and waxed poetic about the good old days of the '80s, when he could just cruise up to Washington Heights and buy crack from his car, "like a McDonald's." Wait, what!? more ›

Ryan Gosling is in town, eating gyros and making tv appearances. Last night he told Jimmy Fallon: "Have you ever been to the Turkish bath? I had some fantasy about it, like being waved with palm leaves and being fed grapes. And it's not that at all, it's just some big, hairy Turkish guy who washes you with a bar of soap. And he was just washing me with this bar of soap and I'm like, 'Am I paying for this? This is terrible." You can watch the whole thing here and here, where he explains how the Turkish guy's belly came into contact with his tongue. Yeah, you're gonna wanna wash that down with a little bit of Hey Girl, featuring Ryan Gosling's contagious laugh: more ›

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, the man who coined the term Manhattanhenge (which just took place this past Tuesday and Wednesday), was on Jimmy Fallon last night. The two talked about superheroes, Star Talk Radio, and the sun. Of Manhattanhenge Tyson says: more ›

Last night, "Neil Young" stopped in for of his occasional guest appearances on Jimmy Fallon, warbling a slow, twangy version of Miley Cyrus's "Party In The USA." And just as Young/Fallon reaches the emotional climax of the song ("That's when the taxi man turned on the radio/ And the Jay-Z song was on"), he's joined by two very special guests: more ›

Yesterday, the proverbial silicone implants slipped out of the DD breasts when Ice-T and Coco announced their new reality series, Ice Loves Coco. The couple, who have been together for over ten years, celebrated the announcement with an appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night (you can watch the video below). more ›

Previously we saw Jimmy Fallon unveil his new Late Night Snack ice cream with Ben & Jerry's, but the real reason the late night host is winning today is because of this spot-on impersonation of Charlie "Tiger Blood" Sheen, packaged up parody-style in a commercial for "Winning (For Men)" cologne. Watch now, before Sheen takes his final turn for the worse and you feel guilty about laughing. more ›

Governor David Paterson was one of the many cameos on the 36th season premiere of Saturday Night Live. Former cast member Amy Poehler was the (terrific) host and her monologue included appearances from the four new cast members, Justin Timberlake, Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon. You can click through for more videos of segments, but, as we expected, the highlight for us was the meeting of the Governor Paterson played by Fred Armisen—who joked he felt "a little neglected" since he wasn't running for governor, "I haven't felt this left out since Avatar"—and the real Governor Paterson, who mocked SNL and Albany, "Working in Albany is just like watching Saturday Night Live. There are a lot of characters. It’s funny for ten minutes, and then you just want it to be over." Also, "You have poked so much fun at me for being governor, that I forgot that I was black." more ›

Not to obsess about this or anything, but in other parts of Obamamerica consumers get weeks to enjoy McDonald's succulent Shamrock Shakes, sometimes as early as February and lasting through St. Patrick's Day. But here in the provincial backwater of New York City, we haven't had a taste of their minty goodness for years, thanks to some sort of byzantine decision-making process at the regional franchise level. Yesterday, finally, a few local McDonald's shocked New Yorkers out of their despondency by offering the special shake, but then ran out faster than you can say Mxyzptlk. Now whose head shall we mount on this sharpened stick? We're going with Jimmy Fallon. more ›

Back on December 17, 2005, Saturday Night Live aired a digital short called "Lazy Sunday"—an ode to cupcakes, using online maps, Mr. Pibb, The Chronicles of Narnia and, uh, the chronic—that struck a chord and became a viral sensation on YouTube, especially as NBC kept taking it down. Last night, Jimmy Fallon reunited Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg for a live version, with the Roots backing them, of the ditty: more ›

When we asked last week if Conan O'Brien should stick around NBC after they gave Jay Leno his old time slot back — leaving Conan to decide whether he wanted to stay and air later, or leave — you said he should LEAVE! Well, yesterday we heard of rumors he may be moving to Fox... and now the Wall Street Journal has printed that rumor, too, saying the talk show host has already met with the rival network. more ›

Last night the Muppet gang visited the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set, singing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with the host (and with the Roots backing them all up). Waldorf and Statler were nowhere to be seen, or heard! more ›

Hate all you want on Jimmy Fallon, but the guy does the best impersonation of Neil Young covering Will Smith's "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." That is a fact. more ›

Recently, viewers of The Rachel Maddow Show have noticed that Rachel Maddow has been out, due to the flu. And last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, she revealed she had the swine flu! (She's one of those 1 in 10 New Yorkers!) more ›

Did Jimmy Fallon get into a real altercation at a local pizza place this weekend or is he simply playing internet games? After the still head shaking realization that The Roots are now a talk show house band, the second-most unique aspect to Jimmy Fallon's reign of Late Night thus far might be his incorporation of Twitter. He's let viewers send in questions to Cameron Diaz, updated on-air simultaneously with the Diggnation guys and gotten over 30,000 of his viewers to follow a random audience member on the social networking site. A series of updates on his Twitter that he was kicked out of Posto Saturday because they mistakenly thought he had bad mouthed them are being used to report the story around the web. Gawker even claims that their tipsters say there was a fistfight involved—difficult to imagine for the incredibly affable Fallon. Late Night is on vacation this week, so no first-hand account is coming tonight. Did something actually go down or are we all sucked into some sort of manufactured Twitter-drama? more ›

On May 3rd, Pete Seeger will celebrate 90 years on the planet with a star-studded birthday extravaganza at Madison Square Garden. The concert will double as a benefit for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. As expected, the concert will feature a ton of stars who have been influenced by Seeger's legendary career, including Joan Baez, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder and Bruce Springsteen, who recorded an album of Seeger covers a few years back. Tickets start going on sale next Monday morning, with the cheapest seats going for $19.19 (The year of his birth) and most of them priced at $90. For the full list of bands scheduled to play, check out Brooklyn Vegan. more ›

While surely everyone has let Michael Jackson cross their mind over the last few years, who actually still thinks of him as something capable of performing music? Well, for those who forgot, The King of Pop is making a comeback...to solidify his retirement. He will take the stage once again in London for the first time in over a decade before closing the book on his performing career "forever." Expectations are surely to be mixed, and details are still sparse, but organizers insist Jackson is in good enough physical health to sing and dance once more. The Family Residence Essential Enterprise (FREE), who are one of NY's largest local special needs organizations, are hoping MJ reaches out to them during rehearsal for the big shows. The group, despite their physical obstacles, have re-created the original "Thriller" video over 100 times, and would love to give Jackson a refresher course on how to make it all work. They hope that Jackson's continued commitment to charity organizations will have him take notice. more ›
