Late Night

From Studio 60 in Rockefeller Center, the National Broadcasting Company presents: Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Tonight's guests are: (Guests and Music), and featuring the legendary Roots crew. And here he is, Jimmy Fallon.

Late night television and particularly late night talk shows are some of my favorites because I never go to sleep before midnight and looking up things and people is exactly what I'm doing at that time any way so why not turn on the TV and learn about someone I might not know so I can one-up someone in a conversation. "...Linda Cardellini. What, you don't know who that is?" I enjoy saying to people.

But I don't only like Jimmy Fallon, I'm just bringing it up because his is relatively new on the talk show scene and I have been watching his show religiously.

-The Late Show with David Letterman: It's alright even though I like most people who have seen the show don't like Paul Shaffer. My reason is that he always interjecting but in a way that it interrupts Dave's story which is hyper-annoying.

-The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson: Just listen to his accent is pretty funny. He's a little bit too ridiculous for me. Plus, I'm not in his mainly 40s and 50s demographic, so, there's that.

-The Tonight Show With Jay Leno: No. No, thank you.

Reasons to Like Late Night With Jimmy Fallon:
1) He isn't Jay Leno
2) He knows when he does something stupid and is capable of laughing at himself.
3) His interviews aren't pre-planned. Except for the games, obviously. I'm not going to say ping pong tables materialize just for the sake favoring Jimmy Fallon over Leno
4) The Roots
5) It's on NBC

To be nocturnal-esque

The humor in the air is palpable

Who doesn't like Judd Apatow films? His humor is perverse and that's why we love him. He's has stated in an interview that in ALL of his upcoming movies, following Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he will show a penis at least once. Why not? What the hell, right? Plus if its for comedy, who gives a shit? If he can get away with showing multiple tits, fake balls and hilarious dick drawings, then why not throw in a surprising penis*.

So if you like films by him, do you think you would like a TV show by him? Can't you just imagine such a thing? Hold up. Wait a minute. Oh yeah! That's right, there is such a thing. Two things in fact: Freaks and Geeks. Undeclared.

Don't get your hopes up though. They aren't running any more. As a matter of fact they concluded after getting pulled off the air before either of their seasons ended in 2000 and in 2002. If you look them up you might not recognize the names but if you watch it and if you've seen Apatow's movies then you will definitely recognize the people because the people he used for his show ten years ago, he still uses in his movies, even as bit parts.

PS. Year One (June 19) and Funny People (July 31) are going to rule.
PPS. If you want to watch them, let me know.

*Note: I am not obsessed with saying penis. It's the thought of his movies incorporation of penises that makes it funny and necessary to say multiple times. Penis.

To be individual, one must follow the crowd

First off i will just say that I am being extremely hypocritical by even considering to write in a blog that isn't a class requirement.

Next I suppose since i haven't written on here in a while, to ease you back in i will write about what the others are: Society and how they've changed peoples view of what their goals in life should be. Also about success.

Now so i don't have to repeat what they've said over and over just read theirs first:
number one
number two

No, obviously societies idea of what we should be doesn't agree with what we think it is and i don't expect it to. It's all just a big game of 'monopoly' meshed with a game of 'life'. Except you don't automatically get a great job or $200 every 20 minutes.

But I'm not here to complain because there is no need to complain about things you can't change, it's useless.

It's very true to say that you don't have to do what society wants to get what you consider wealth or success. You simply have to accept that in order to do so you have to follow the rules. And that goes for whatever life you want. For example: If you wanted to be a doctor you're going to have to get a good education and go to college so you can reach that goal, but if that's what you consider success, it shouldn't be an issue. Another example would be is if your goal is to do absolutely nothing. If you want to do nothing and you consider being homeless for the rest of your life part of that then good luck. But in order to do what i believe my friend is thinking of then he is going to have to get a good education, go to college and then you can enjoy the rest of your lonely days living in your parent's basement.

To Accept.
