The NBA script is already rolling as the writers’ strike ends
Ding-dong, the strike is dead. The Deadspin staff’s WGA brethren have come to an agreement with the AMPTP that financially acknowledges the importance of the brains and fingertips that are part of the foundation of entertainment. ...
Travis Kelce shakes off bad karma in first half of Jags game, convinces Mahomes ‘you belong with me’
It’s Week 2 of the NFL season and, as a non-Chiefs fan, I am already tired of Travis Kelce. He doesn’t come off as a bad person, necessarily, just a loud one, and one who likes to yell “We gotta fight…for the right…to paaaarrrrrty!!” every time he’s anywhere near a microphone. Here he is saying it a...
Is The Rock vs. Roman Reigns worthy of a Wrestlemania main event with both guys part-time?
Outside of completely catering to society as a whole and pushing its current roster and storylines to the back burner, there isn’t a match the WWE can put on that would draw a bigger box office than The Rock returning to the ring for a first-time ever matchup with his cousin and current Undisputed W...
Hard Knocks Finale: Robert Saleh ended the season with a winner
In some ways, being a head coach is like being a late-night host. Day and day out, for an entire season, this person has to perform. There may be only 17 games in an NFL season, but every single day a head coach is forced to perform for the media, the players, and bosses. So many speeches, PowerPoin...
AI is all fun and games, until it’s not, which is part of why Hollywood has shut down
For those people who turned on The Tonight Show on Tuesday and the wacky game that Jimmy Fallon was playing with a guest looked familiar, that’s because it was a rerun. There will be no late-night television while the television and film scribes of the Writers Guild of America are on strike....
Ranking every NFL player's performance on <i>Saturday Night Live</i>
Coming off his second Super Bowl victory, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hosted Saturday Night Live on March 4. Among the many lovable characters the NFL has to offer, Kelce has to be one of the least camera-shy. Love him or hate him, the man knows how to rile up audiences. Whether he’s m...
Pete Alonso's Charming "English Muffin" Quote, Like Most Precious Things In Life, Was A Sham
Before Mets slugger Pete Alonso participated in the Home Run Derby during the all-star break, he earned a little moment with this seemingly off-the-cuff quip: “It doesn’t matter how much jelly you have in the jar, it’s about how you spread it on your English muffin.” That’s funny. Well, guess what? ...
White Sox Player Appears On Television
With the Chicago White Sox in New York to play the Yankees this week, José Quintana made an appearance on The Tonight Show. He credits regularly watching the show with helping him learn English, and took the opportunity to pay back host Jimmy Fallon by helping him learn some Spanish....
Some Fresh Ideas For Jimmy Fallon's Contrived <i>The Tonight Show</i> Games
Sometimes I feel bad for Jimmy Fallon. A key component of his success as a late night host is his and his writing staff’s ability to produce segments that are grist for the viral content mill. These segments usually take the form of a game or competition between Fallon and one or more of his guests,...
Jimmy Fallon Chugs Beer At Yankees Game
Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon found his way to some primo seats at Yankee Stadium for tonight’s bout between the Bronx Bombers and Toronto, and took some time out in the bottom of the seventh inning to chug a beer—much to the delight of everyone watching. Sure, it’s a silly stunt. But you’d do it t...
Villanova Piccolo Player Appears On Fallon, Plays With The Roots

Tonight's 40th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live on NBC opened with a musical tribute to the variety show's most memorable moments, starring former cast member Jimmy Fallon and oft-host Justin Timberlake—who briefly brought back "Dick In A Box." (Uncensored, even, in prime time!) This s...
Five <i>Saved By The Bell</i> Stars Recreate Their Former Roles On Fallon
Zack Morris! Kelly Kapowski! A.C. Slater! Jessie Spano! Mr. Belding! They're all here (okay, no Screech, because he's probably in jail). The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon spent eight whole minutes on a Saved By The Bell sketch featuring the original cast, almost 25 years after the NBC Saturday...
Chris Pratt Photobombed Super Bowl Fans With A Sandwich Dick
Jimmy Fallon roped Chris Pratt and Chris Evans into a goofy bit where they snuck around and photobombed Super Bowl fans on some sort of red carpet. The results are actually pretty funny, but no moment was more inspired than Pratt busting out the sandwich dick. The sandwich dick always plays....
Yankees Fans Boo Picture Of Robinson Cano, Until The Real Cano Shows Up
This is another great gag from Jimmy Fallon, along the same lines as the Matt Harvey prank Fallon pulled on Mets fans. The setup here is pretty simple. A producer gets Yankees fans on the street to boo a large picture of Robinson Cano and after they boo and turn back to the camera, the producer tel...
LeBron James Dunking A Wastepaper Basketball
Under Jimmy Fallon's stewardship, The Tonight Show programming has moved to approximately 75 percent SNL Digital Shorts and 25 percent interviews. The latest clip is a ditty called "Wastepaper Basketball" and stars LeBron James in a high-stakes garbage-basketball rap/challenge against Fallon. Lebron...
Jimmy Fallon's First-Ever <em>Tonight Show</em> Features Legendary Cameo Segment
We couldn't possibly run down all the dignitaries who appear in this bit, from tonight's first episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. We'll simply note surprise at Lindsay Lohan parting with $100 for anything that doesn't come in powder form, and Joan Rivers's return to NBC after being b...
Tara Lipinski Channels "The Dude" In <em>Lebowski</em>-Themed Skating Routine
It's been 16 years since figure skater Tara Lipinski won gold at the Nagano Olympics, but by the looks of this routine she did on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, she's still got it. ...
Watch Drake And Jimmy Fallon Play Beer Hockey
Finally, we get to see what beer hockey—the drinking game that was recently invented by an unidentified Canadian—looks like in action. And it's all thanks to Jimmy Fallon and Drake. ...
