Yes, he did headlines. It’s my favorite part of his show, too.
It was good to see Jay back on TV. It’s like all is right with the world again. Kevin Ewbanks and the band were in the same place, the banter was the same, the opening monologue was good.... It was a pretty funny show, virtually the same as Jay’s Tonight show was, except there’s NO DESK. Just two big chairs for Jay and whoever his guest is.... I suppose they figured they needed to do something to distinguish the new show from Jay’s Tonight show.
But other than NO DESK, it is the same show.
was this his first ever episode on the new show?
I thought that too. Even though it was advertised (and advertised and advertised) that it wouldn’t be a Tonigh Show clone, it was pretty much the same.
Heck, I was hoping that for once, they’d actually let Kevin and the band and that gal singer they got FINISH a song, but guess not..
In general, over the years, I’ve thought NBC had the best stuff. Not any more. Gutting the good stuff to give us more Amy Pohler don’t cut it...
You forgot to mention the hair. Now it is lightly unkempt, which is VERY planned. They spend so much time on hosts’ hair that this must have meant that now he is “letting his hair down” so to speak. A little strand hanging into his face.
To steal a phrase from the last real show host we had, you appear to be almost a cult of one.
