Message in a Watch

Posted by Jon Friedman March 11, 2009 2:00 PM
Categories

watch1.jpgThe National Museum of American History has discovered a "secret" message engraved inside of a gold watch once owned by President Abraham Lincoln. (Sounds like the premise for an upcoming Nicolas Cage movie, but it's not. It's real.) The message warns the President of the start of the Civil War, reading in part, "Fort Sumpter was attacked by the rebels."

Obviously, I know there was no radio, TV, or internet back then but engraving into a watch doesn't seem like the most efficient way to get a message of such importance across. I think someone got fired:

Man: Did you get the message of impending war over to the President?

Young Man: Yes sir I did!

Man: Great. Did you write it down and ride it over to him on the horse?

Young Man: No. I had it engraved into a watch.

Man: You did what?

Young Man: I rode it over to the engraver this afternoon. It should be ready in 4 - 6 weeks.

Man: You're fired.

It is ALSO believed that another "secret" message warning the President of a potential assassination at the Ford's Theater was being constructed out of large rocks on a beach at the time of his shooting.

Nunchucks + Video = Obvious?

Posted by Jon Friedman March 11, 2009 10:00 AM

It's funny that it's funny to see a male get hit in his "man center." It hurts, but it's funny. Two inches to the right, not funny. Dare I say, in this modern video age, that getting hit in the "man-mans" is officially a classic? Our generation's "slipping on a banana peel," if you will.

Let's also look closer at this video. Was that a setup?

A. No, that was all real.
B. Yes, definitely a set up. There just happened to be a skateboard right behind him too, yeah right.
C. Getting hit was fake, the slipping was real.
D. When did this become a multiple choice test?

catdolls.jpgSuper duper music group, The Pussycat Dolls are the musical guest on tonight's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The Pussycat Dolls are a huge hit at their live shows but also get major plays on the internet with a bunch of their videos viewed well over 10 million times each. Sooo, naturally, they will make for a great guest with us tonight.

They started as a burlesque troupe, morphed into mega recording artists, and they are going to sing and dance their way into your hearts with what they have planned for tonight.

The Dark No Way

Posted by Jon Friedman March 10, 2009 5:00 PM
Categories

84980483.jpgAn agency in Sweden has denied a 19-year-old woman the right to change her name from Sofia to Sofia "Dark Knight." Sofia Englund, from a city near Stockholm, wants to make the name change because she loves the film and the actors, does not have a middle name, and thinks it would be "nice." If that were the basis to change your name I would have changed mine to Jon "Raising Arizona" a long time ago, am I right?!

According to the guidelines of the agency (apparently there's an agency that legally allows you to change your name) a name can be denied if it is offensive, a swear word, or describes genitalia. (That rules out Jon "Male Organ of Copulation" and Jon "Poopy Pants" for me.) HOWEVER, "name of film" is not on that list. So what gives? Someone on that review board must want that name for himself. I know it. I'm looking at you Kevin, soon to be Kevin "Dark Knight" of the Swedish Name Changing Review Board.

The Woz Before the Dance

Footage of Steve Wozniak's amazing Dancing with the Stars performance is making its rounds on the web today.

What we have here at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is a photo of "The Woz" in his trailer just before the dance.

rosebyrne1.jpgWe've been having fun around the office today by saying Rose Byrne's name the way "Rosebud" is said in Citizen Kane. And by "we" I mean "me" and by "around the office" I mean "alone at my desk." Try it, it's fun. It's not? Ok.

You may know Rose Byrne from her award winning role as Ellen Parsons on FX's Damages and you will know her in her co-starring role along side Nicolas Cage in the soon to be released feature film, Knowing.

Also, she's Australian and she is going to talk with Jimmy tonight.

Find Your Dreams on Youtube

Posted by Jon Friedman March 9, 2009 12:30 PM
Categories ,

I often have really weird dreams. Like the time I was playing Hide n' Go Seek with my brother except I was a squirrel and when I hid behind a tree, Jerry (from Tom & Jerry) was already hiding there. Or that time I went to Puerto Rico with Snarf. Last night, I had another weird one, which lead me to think of a new internet game that we can all play (if you can remember your dream). Here's how you play:

Put in search words that relate to your dream(s) and see if you can find your dream (or nightmare) on Youtube! Fun, right? I did a search for my dream from last night and this is the closest video I found:

My dream search terms were: cat and hot girl. What does it all mean?

Shuttlecock Smashes into Watermelon

There were a lot of other possible innuendo style headlines I could have chosen for this post but I didn't want to get in trouble. At Least I got to say "shuttlecock."

I think that was a once in a lifetime smash.

Speaking of sports --March Madness and baseball season are coming up fast. Is there any interest in sports related posts out there?

batali1.jpgTonight, Jimmy welcomes Chef Mario Batali for the first ever Late Night with Jimmy Fallon cooking segment! It's our first Friday show and it's a perfect night to be chef'ing it up with Mario. Mario Batali is one of America's favorite chefs, a writer, an all around media personality and a top restaurateur (I love saying words that end in -tuer). Mario will also tell us about his newest restaurant, Tarry Lodge. I want to go there.

Do you want to cook along with Mario and Jimmy tonight? Or perhaps cook what they are going to cook in advance and pull it out of your magical oven the same time that they do? Well now you can.

What Not to Do: Courtroom Edition

Posted by Jon Friedman March 6, 2009 1:30 PM
Categories

I think we can learn from this video. Should any of us find ourselves in this situation (or a lesser similar situation) this is a great example of WHAT NOT TO DO.

Now that you know what NOT to do, I've provided some examples of what TO DO:

Judge: Mr. Hastings don't press your luck with me, son. Don't press your luck with me.
Mr. Hastings: Or what? Or what? You'll sentence me?

What Mr. Hastings should have said:

Mr. Hastings: I am sorry, sir.

Tonight's Guest: Donald Trump

Posted by Jon Friedman March 5, 2009 2:30 PM

Jimmy welcomes Ronald Trump to the show tonight, America's #1 Donald Trump impersonator. Kidding! ...Did I just get "fired"? We have the actual REAL Donald Trump on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. He'll be here with his hair, his Trump-ness, and his winning attitude and lifestyle. "The Donald" is absolutely one of the most intriguing entertaining people on the television today.

Episodes of the new Celebrity Apprentice began airing last week and I think the current cast tops last years. Any show that can assemble a group that includes Andrew Dice Clay, Dennis Rodman, Tom Green, Joan Rivers, Khloe Kardashian (and more) is a show I'm going to watch. Do you know what else I am going to watch? The Office. And also Donald Trump with Jimmy tonight at 12:35AM EST!

Watch Trump share his thoughts on the Celebrity Apprentice Week 1 firing:

Throwing Bricks

Posted by Jon Friedman March 5, 2009 11:00 AM

single-brick.jpgA man in the UK hurled a brick across a busy road hitting an undercover cop car. When questioned about what he was doing, he claimed he was, "aiming for his neighbors cat." The brick caused £600 in damage to the police officer's car. That sounds like a lot of £'s.

Check this out. I just wrote a joke based on this story:

Why did the man hurl a brick across the road?

To hit his neighbors cat. (But instead he hit an undercover cop car and used a terrible excuse and now he is in a lot of trouble.)

Am I right?! Am I right?! Hello? Feel free to use the joke around the office today. It will KILL.

This is the kind of video that when I watch it first thing in the morning (like I did today), I'm not sure if I'm still dreaming. Is Mickey Mouse in a break dance battle? Yes, yes he is.

I like to think that this guy (in the Mickey suit) was waiting and hoping that one day he would be able to bust out his sweet moves...and on this day it all came together.

Suggestions For the Suggestion Box

suggestionbox.jpgA lot of you have been writing in to us with some great ideas, tips and suggestions (and some made me cry a little bit) and we want to keep encouraging you to do so.

Sometimes we'll ask for some specific "suggestions" and then post some of the best ideas in a "Suggestion Box" post. However, we don't want to call the post or the box a "Suggestion Box," we want it to have a more creative spin. So, we're asking you for suggestions on what our "Suggestion Box" should be called.

To get you started, here are some of the terrible (or terrific) ideas that have been yelled out here in our "bloggers cave."

  • The Sebastion Bachs
  • The Suggestion Bocks
  • The Sequential Process By Which One Thought Leads to Another, Box

Hi. How are things? It's early. Are you eating breakfast? What are you having, eggs? I didn't eat yet. Anyhoo, a woman called 911 three separate times because she was having an issue with her Chicken McNuggets. BUT what is a little crazier than that, is the 911 Emergency operators stayed on the phone as if it were an actual emergency.

We all know that if you have problems with your McNuggets order, you call 211, The Nugget Problems Center.*

*There is no such place. Never call anyone if you have problems with your nuggets order.

A Day For the Mathlete in All of Us

Posted by Jon Friedman March 3, 2009 10:30 AM
Categories

calculator2.jpgDo you notice anything special about today's date? Take a look. No? Nothing? Look again. 3-3-09. Ok, you're not a nerd like me. (Or maybe you are.) But for those of you who don't know, it's Square Root Day! That's right. It's a rare holiday that occurs when the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits of the current year. Wait, what? Ok, I got it. This "holiday" only happens 9 times every century OR once every 11.111111 years! I'm so "mathy" today. When is the next one? I think it's April 4, 2016. I cannot wait.

Here are a few ways to celebrate Square Root Day:

  • Listen to Huey Lewis and the News's "Hip to Be Square" while drinking a root beer.
  • Watch The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (and dress like a nerd).
  • Do some math with an abacus.

How are you celebrating? Oh, you're not?

Tonight's Guest: Robert Deniro

Posted by Jon Friedman March 2, 2009 3:00 PM
Categories

Put it in the history books. It's an answer to a trivia question. Jimmy Fallon's first ever guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is Robert Deniro. Deniro is probably best known for his role as Fearless Leader in the big screen adaptation of The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle. JK! Godfather 2, Taxi Driver, Casino, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, Awakenings, Goodfellas, Analyze This, Meet The Parents, Cape Fear, Heat, the co-founder of The Tribeca Film Festival and obviously so much more. It should be a hilariously interesting and fun interview. These two have appeared together before:

Are you curious to know who other notable late night talk show hosts first guests were? I was. No need to google it, I wrote it down:

  • Late Night with David Letterman: Bill Murray
  • Late Night with Conan O'Brien: John Goodman
  • The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson: Groucho Marx
  • The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Billy Crystal

And now, I present to you, my Robert Deniro impression:
(clears throat, makes face) "I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut." How was that?

Fired For Facebook Status

Posted by Jon Friedman March 2, 2009 10:30 AM
Categories , ,

facebook.jpgA young woman, a teenager in fact, was recently fired from her job because of her facebook status. Oh no. I knew this would happen. What terribly cruel thing must she have written that when it reached her boss, who when he saw the status, found it necessary to fire her? I know that perhaps I've been guilty of using bad judgment in the past with my status updates, that if seen by my "higher-ups" could have potentially got me in a lot trouble. But knowing now what this Kim Swann actually wrote in her status, I can see why she was fired, and why I never have been.

I will reveal to you what she wrote but I must warn you, if you are at work, please look over your shoulder and make sure your boss is not behind you because if your boss even sees you reading this kind of status update, you might be out on the streets too. Also, if there are any children in the room, or if you yourself are under 18 PLEASE do not read the status or allow any children near your computer screen. Ok, now, here it comes...NSFW...here is what she wrote, "Kim Swann is...." (sorry guys, I don't know if I can do this, what if I get fired?) Ok, ok, when I agreed to take this job, I said I would be edgy, so here goes, here is what she wrote......"Kim Swann is bored at work."

Oh my gosh, no way, I can't believe I just typed that. It's a good thing that her boss was looking at the facebook profiles of his employees, to make sure that his staff was not telling anyone that they were b*red.

If you're b*red at work, I've come up with a few alternative facebook statuses for you to use so that your boss will not fire you while he is checking out your facebook page. We're speaking in code here:

Jon Friedman is bored at work, NOT!
Jon Friedman (brought his skate)bored at work.
Jon Friedman got a new bulletinBOARD at work.
Jon Friedman is on the board at work.
Jon Friedman has a boar at work. (a stuffed animal pig doll)

If you have more, let's hear them!

We'll be bringing you the best stuff that's on the web, original comedy, and super inside updatey stuff about the show. If you have ideas and feedback, leave a comment or e-mail us at latenightblog@nbc.com.

So my brand new game, "Huge or Tiny" has not quite swept the nation (yet) as I had planned (answer: I am NOT a huge giant), however the President of Great Big Stuff wrote in today to bring to my attention their "uniquely over-sized versions of everyday products," so that we can potentially play the game more and more in the future. Also, coincidentally, Great Big Stuff is the manufacturer of the giant pickle that was passed on from Conan to Jimmy earlier this week. If you've ever wanted to pass on a giant pickle to your successor, now you know where it came from!

spiderman3.jpgIt's official! Spider-Man is coming to Broadway in 2010 with his very own musical, officially titled, "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark." It will be staged by the Lion King's Julie Taymor and has a budget exceeding 30 million dollars.

In anticipation of seeing Peter Parker/Spider-Man leaping and dancing across the stage, I came up with a list of potential song titles for the musical (in chronological order of the Spider-Man story):

  • "Nerdy and Shy, How I Cry"
  • "My Camera is My Only Friend" (ballad)
  • "Dancin' In My Room with Mary Jane" (fantasy)
  • "Bitten by a Spider, Oh my, Oh no!"
  • "Radioactive-Active"
  • "Shootin' Out Some Sticky Stuff"
  • "I've Lost My Uncle Ben (Not the One from the Rice)"
  • "Makin' a Suit That's Red, Blue & Yahoo! (Shoulda Cut a Hole for the Mouth)"
  • "Attention All Criminals, I'm Gonna Get Ya, Tonight!"
  • "With Real Power Comes Real Fabulousness!"

Do you have any? Lets see them.

It's Just Another Day at Mullet Place

Editor's Note: This week we're doing a "soft launch" of the blog in preparation for the premiere of the show and total site relaunch on March 2! We'll be bringing you the best stuff that's on the web, original comedy, and super inside updatey stuff about the show. If you have ideas and feedback, we're all ears!

mullet.jpgI know we don't know each other that well yet but we here at LNWJF do not condone stealing of any kind (we encourage the opposite, like donating to charity). However, I enjoyed reading this actual headline last night, "Street Signs for Mullet Place Keep Disappearing." Apparently people in a small neighborhood in Green Bay, Wisconsin have been stealing the Mullet Place street signs as fast as they can put them up --making it much more difficult for the residents of this amazing street to give directions to their homes.

My favorite part of the story is a quote from the local Public Works Department, saying, "My only guess is that people are still in love with the '70s and '80s when the mullet haircut was prominent. I don't know."

The city is attempting to fight the loss of more Mullet Place signs by mounting them 20 feet off the ground. Might I suggest making Mullet Place signs by the hundreds, sell them locally and put the money back into the community. You can have a Mullet Place block party/carnival day and prizes for the town's best mullet and so on.

Speaking of the mullet, let's take a look at some of OUR FAVORITE MULLETS:

Wait, What?

I've watched this commercial for "Quest" a handful of times and I've figured out that someone knows something about what I want and I think it involves a phone and it might be free, I think, or something. Am I just getting old and not able to keep up with the hip lingo (although, I know the word "lingo") or are you confused too?

I've done some research and I have provided a translation key for you:

Quest Commercial Translation Key

  • Around your way tonight = near where you live
  • Hot spot = the best place to go
  • Jack = phone (extra confusing because a jack is already a part of a phone)
  • Holla = contact via telephone
  • Do your thing ya know = call
  • Let it do what it do = be yourself
  • On the real = I'm serious
  • It's off the hook = It's great ("off the hook" is also extra confusing mixed in with all of this phone talk)

Full translation:

"Do you want to meet someone near where you live tonight? If so, I know the best place to go for what you want. That place is Quest. Pick up your phone and call, it is very easy. Contact us via telephone. Call. Be yourself. I'm serious, it's great. And best of all, it's free to try, so call and have some fun tonight."

Also, what are those other two phone numbers?! No one mentions them. Why are they there??

The Helicopter is Not Where I Left it, Again

Posted by Jon Friedman February 23, 2009 10:30 AM

helicopter.jpgOver the weekend Yahoo! News reported a story about a notorious Greek prisoner that escaped from a maximum security prison in Athens via helicopter, in a "Hollywood-style getaway." I can envision how a big budget action movie would play this scene out, as he flies off leaving behind the baffled, rattled prison guards. However, this is NOT THE FIRST TIME this man escaped from this jail using their helicopter. Twice, he was able to get into a helicopter and fly away from his jail. Two times he did this.

Here is a list of suggestions for the jail to help make sure that this will never happen again:

1. Don't leave the helicopter keys in the ignition.

2. Lock the helicopter doors. (double check)

3. Put a guard near the helicopter.

4. Observe the helicopter from a tower.

5. Listen for helicopter propellers starting up, especially during unscheduled helicopter usage times.

6. Put a sign on the helicopter that says, "Not for prisoners."

7. Stop giving the prisoners helicopter lessons.

8. When the helicopter is at the jail, keep an extra eye on the man WHO ALREADY STOLE IT.

9. Do not land the helicopter inside the prison grounds anymore. (you can walk)

10. Get rid of the helicopter.
