No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Thrive to spite them

I don't really watch late night but I love seeing all of Jimmy Fallon's musical impressions. Like when he did Whip My Hair as Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen was also there or The Doors singing Reading Rainbow.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In watching these last night, I saw Bruce and Jimmy (as Neil Young) doing "I'm Sexy and I Know It" I just lost it when Bruce was singing "wiggle,wiggle,wiggle, wiggle, wiggle"! [link]

I only like Jimmy Fallon's musical stuff. It's not that I don't think that he's talented, it's that I don't think that he's funny.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I may be in agreement with Vortex. The only time I watch him is for stuff like this.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I have to cast my vote for all the Jimmy/JT stuff. Classic. There is one of him and Rebel Wilson having a dance off that is also amazing, so it's not just singing for me. And who can forget Jimmy and Mrs. O doing the evolution of mom dancing? So it seems that musical theater Jimmy is A-OK with me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, watching the Top Chef: Masters: Sous Chef show might be worth it just for the moment when the one guy says he knew he wanted to be a chef when he was watching Three's Company.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's more than a little awesome, just hearing about it.

Also, the sous named Jorel is apparently actually named after Superman's father.

That's more than a little awesome, just hearing about it.

That's really all there is to it, so now you don't have to watch!

So it's definitely worthwhile for you to watch it and report the good parts. Worthwhile for me, anyway.
