It’s the kids’ chorus that makes this one extra fun.
Monday Night Video – Jimmy Fallon’s Audition for Saturday Night Live
June 25, 2012 2 Comments
Jimmy Fallon’s audition tape for Saturday Night Live is up on YouTube and fairly interesting for comedy fans. It’s not that it’s very funny in itself — most of the content is fairly weak — but his versatility and his professionalism are easily visible. He’s a likeable guy and it’s easily understandable why Fallon was hired for a show which needs speed and productivity, as well as why Lorne Michaels hired him again years to be late night talk show host, which requires a similar sort of range and work ethic.

Matthew’s Victoria Jackson post got me thinking about what Saturday Night Live alums have been doing since leaving the show. Here’s a list of the most interesting or impressive jobs I’m aware of. Maybe someone will be able to fill me in on some I’ve missed or forgotten about.

Louis CK update
December 22, 2011 1 Comment
Last night Louis C.K. told Jimmy Fallon how he would donate about $280,00 of the money he made from selling his Live at the Beacon Theater concert online. The interview starts out as fairly standard mainstream sit-down late night stuff, and becomes interesting once Louis starts talking about how he started the Beacon show straight from the street. No warm-up act, no big lights up moment.
Louis talks about the sales process in Part 2. You get a hint of his cutting edge when he starts talking about the money he gave away, because he jokes about the plight of the people to whom he donated the money.
