Wheel of Musical Impressions

Yeah, Fallon panders to his guests. But give him (or his writing staff at least) credit for coming up with unique bits to entertain us with. Like this game with Jamie Foxx, where each person has to do a random song in the voice of a random artist. Get ready for Jamie to kill the John Legend impression.

Dave & Hip Hop

More from Mr. Chappelle, who made the talk show rounds this week to promote his upcoming series of shows at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Here he talks about meeting The Roots and Kanye, and retells the 'Ye story that I first posted last summer (that video has since been removed from YouTube, though, which makes it convenient to now have this one).

Tuesday Kickstart: Let Your Heart Sing

I'm going to blame this day-late start on yesterday (Apr. 14th) being TJ's birthday. So there. Blame the Jewish guy.

But credit to him for sending me this clip...which most of you have probably seen by now, since he sent it to me last week. Blah.



Now that's cultural appropriation I can support. I know TJ's birthday was just yesterday, but mine was a couple of weeks ago; so when Anne started singing "It's your birthday," I wholeheartedly believe she was singing directly to me. (Let's not focus on how much alcohol I drank before hearing and believing that...)

Let's talk inspiration. Something—or someone—that motivates you to set goals, and attack the workweek in hopes you'll find that one thing or person on the other end of Friday. In other words, meet Ms. Jade Adele:

Is that inspiring enough for you? Let's go.

Anchor's Delight

With Jimmy Fallon at the helm, The Tonight Show will never be the same again.

(And that's a good thing.)

MC Brie

I love this girl. Unconditionally. Never question that.

Call Me, Anytime

"Call Me, Maybe" isn't leaving anytime soon. I've made my peace with that. And this, in turn, allows me to revel in this rendition, which features The Roots, Jimmy Fallon, and a host of elementary school musical instruments.

This. Is. Awesome.





My boy Chris with the assist.

President Obama Slow Jams the News

This is one of those rare occasions when the word "epic" is a perfect fit.

Cuttin' Up with Barry

Aziz Ansari gives the world a glimpse of President Obama behind the scenes. This honest, starstruck commentary on meeting someone more famous than yourself is why I love Aziz. And this unpretentious, unaffected affability is why I love Barack.

Colbert, The Roots, & Friends do "Friday" Right

Rebecca Black, this is how it's done.

"Winning", the Fragrance

Made from real tiger blood.

The Evolution of Hip Hop

This is really impressive by both Fallon and Timberlake. If (for some unknown reason) you're not convinced yet that hip-hop has become interwoven with mainstream pop culture, pause this video at about the 3:50 mark and just let the picture in front of you soak into your mind.
