The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Many people don't know that comedy legend Jon Glaser was raised in Southfield and is a University of Michigan alum. Glaser has been a part of some of the most successful comedies to date. He's helped write Late Night with Conan O’Brien, SNL, Human Giant, and Wonder Showzen and has appeared in TV shows like 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.  Wednesday night, he appeared as a

Plus, we know what the film is about!

Relieved though we are to have all those Jon Snow shenanigans behind us on Game of Thrones, we’ll admit that stars and producers did an admirable job clinging to the barely-there secrecy of Kit Harington’s return. Well, all except Harington himself, perhaps, who apparently spoiled the good news to a police officer in exchange for getting off with a warning.

When you’re out promoting a movie, you’re often asked to do a lot of things, most of them pretty silly. With the amount of press the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was being asked to do, there were asked to do a lot of silly things, none perhaps as silly as going on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and singing a medley of Star Wars music a cappella. But the entire cast — including Harrison Ford! — actually commits, and it actually turns out to pretty fun.

Actor and comedian Will Forte appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last week and did something pretty funny, yet pretty gross at the same time. Forte referenced an article from a few months back that described just how gross beards can be. Sporting a massive man-beard himself, Forte was a little worried about the gross substances that could be lurking in his facial hair. So he submitted

Louis C.K. was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night. He said when he was a writer on The Dana Carvey Show in 1996, Jimmy Fallon auditioned for a writing position. While Fallon was very talented -- even back then, Louis (whose full name is Louis Székely) says he torpedoed Fallon's chances.

The radio airwaves in the '90s were heavily dominated by boy bands and solo female pop artists. Some still are. The rivalry between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears as teenagers just starting their careers has dwindled since Spears' head-shaving incident in 2007, but the '90s kids still know the score.

The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon might be prone to brief spats of name-dropping – hey, the guy knows a lot of people! – but on last night’s show, it was at least somewhat appropriate. Still recovering from Sunday night’s SNL 40 super special, Fallon was eager to share his recollections of the evening with his studio audience (and also Questlove, who was actually there, but who charitably recounted the whole evening with the giddy Fallon). There were a lot of people there!

The folks with "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" have done it again. There's another rap out from NBC Nightly News' Brian Williams!

Jeff Daniels would like to make you dance. Perhaps not you specifically -- but, heck, maybe -- but just anyone who gets to enjoy the dulcet tones of the 'Dumb and Dumber To' star whensoever he trills away with son's band. Daniels is a busy guy, but he still finds the time to jam out with his kid, and when that happens, it's dance time.

With all of the bad news in the world these days, it's nice to get a little good news every now and then. And while we can't just snap our fingers and make good things happen, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" has done the next best thing.
