Late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon teamed up with MTV and the NAACP to send busloads of protesters to take part in Saturday’s student march for gun control. MTV announced that it had joined the left-wing civil rights group and a list of celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and NBA star Carmelo Anthony, to send “17 busloads of youth” to the gun control march kicking off:

Well here we go - the kickoff of Inauguration Week! And for the occasion we’re going back to our roots, shallow though they may be, of Lady M’s fashion iconery. Today’s fashion commentary is sponsored by Gerard at American Digest where today you can find all manner of amazing information: an update on David Brooks, a Leopard selfie, a surprisingly up-close-and-personal account of the Penthouse years, a great rendition of David Bowie’s “Heroes” – and much, much more!Butt for my fashion post there’s this, from Lady M’s most recent (and last as FLOTUS) appearance with Jimmy Fallon. For the pre-show “surprise” meet-and-greet...

“The Tonight Show” host humanized a dangerous man on Thursday night. Jimmy Fallon had Donald Trump on “The Tonight Show” Thursday night, and all some people could talk about afterward was a head rub. Toward the end of the interview, Fallon asked the Republican presidential nominee if he could mess up his famous head of hair on live TV, leading to raucous applause and the sort of bite-sized video that both the creators and consumers of internet media eat up. Before the rub, Fallon did sneak in a few subtle quips, like asking Trump if he knew what a coin...

Liberal Tonight Show viewers were left incensed after host Jimmy Fallon did not try to take down Donald Trump or attempt to trip him up with “gotcha” questions during the pair’s interview on the NBC program Thursday night. Instead, Fallon hosted Trump for an entertaining but insightful interview, during which the candidate clarified his relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, talked about the upcoming first presidential debate and let the late-night host “mess up” his usually well-kept hair. That wasn’t enough for progressives on Twitter, who took to the platform late Thursday night and Friday morning to excoriate Fallon for...

Nothing here is what a confused and deceived culture thinks it is. Unlike a lot of celebrities, I do not think Jimmy Fallon is actively hostile toward the traditions of this nation, nor toward Christianity. I think for the most part he just tries to get along with everyone and finds it easier to go with the flow of the prevailing culture rather than to think too deeply about things. But either of the two stances - active hostility or passive acceptance - gets you to the same delusional conclusion, which is why Fallon’s brief and clearly heartfelt statement about...

Donald Trump calls Ted Cruz to give him a prep interview before his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy Fallon, portraying Donald Trump, called Sen. Ted Cruz  97% in a hilarious bit from Thursday night’s “”The Tonight Show.”

And so we come to the age-old question: Should politicians do comedy? Ted Cruz tested the limits in this sketch with NBC’s Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon, pretending to take a call — and some advice — from Donald Trump. Cruz has been looking to expand his personal connection with voters, but does this work?CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO Fallon goes on to offer the Texas senator some advice for his appearance on the “Tonight Show.”“Well that’s a very generous offer, Donald.” Cruz says. “I appreciate you being the bigger man.”“Oh I’m the bigger man, with the bigger...

Obama just lost another one of his top advisers. His legislative affairs director has stepped down, creating challenges to passing the president's agenda in his final year in the White House, according to The Hill. Chief of Obama's legislative affairs operation, Katie Beirne Fallon is leaving after two years on the job. Fallon, a former aide to Sens. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), was instrumental in helping Obama score victories in trade, budget and Iran nuclear deal agreements last year. Obama called Fallon a "close adviser" and a "good friend," in a statement on Friday. "Republicans and Democrats...

Trump, the current GOP frontrunner for President, will appear on the show January 11, which is notably a day before President Barack Obama's last State of the Union address. Trump's visit also comes weeks before the Iowa caucuses on February 1 and New Hampshire's primary on February 9...

NBC is worried Jimmy Fallon's drinking may be getting out of control after The Tonight Show host injured himself for a third time in four months, sources claim. Last week the talk show host was spotted in New York City with band aids after injuring his hand at a Harvard party. Jimmy had been 'holding a bottle of Jagermeister' and greeting fans when he tripped over a woman who had bent down in front of him, People reported. He fell and landed on the broken glass. It's the third time the star has been hurt and sources say NBC are...

Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO who has jumped to second-place in several public opinion polls, ends her appearance on the show by sharing a song she'd made up about her lazy dog, Snickers, who would prefer to sleep than take walks. 'My name's Snick and you're going to have to carry me,' she sang to the tune of 'Rock Around the Clock,' earning loud applause. Fiorina, one of a long list of Republican hopefuls, has been working to introduce herself to a broader group of voters. She also took several jabs at current GOP front-runner Donald Trump, including comparing him...

The Hill and Wolf Blitzer call this Hillary Clinton’s “first live television interview since starting her campaign,” but that’s not entirely correct. Hillary has appeared on softball shows like Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon to dance and have her hair pulled, and while those might not have aired live, they had live audiences. Her interview with CNN’s Blitzer was the first live interview in which Hillary got asked tough questions, and in which Hillary did all she could to keep from answering them.Oddly, the first question Hillary ducks is an opportunity to offer up a few specific accomplishments during her...

Friday night is not usually reserved for appointment television, but this week might be an exception. Donald Trump, the polarizing front-runner in the Republican presidential race, will be a guest on "The Tonight Show" Friday, and whether things get serious or downright silly, the appearance should be one not to miss. For host Jimmy Fallon, the pressure will be on to make the visit count as Trump's latest controversy, surrounding comments he made about fellow Republican candidate Carly Fiorina, looms over the interview, not to mention the high bar set by new competitor Stephen Colbert's emotional "Late Show" interview with...

Chris Christie says he's thinking of taking a more aggressive approach during the next Republican presidential primary debate. During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Monday night, the New Jersey governor and presidential candidate told Fallon that he's considering going "nuclear" if he's relegated to the sidelines during the next GOP face-off, which will be moderated by CNN later this month. Christie's return to late-night TV comes as he's been struggling to gain momentum in the crowded Republican field in the summer polls. During the interview, Fallon, who often jokes about Christie during his monologue, pressed the...

Donald Trump is returning to NBC. Not to his old show, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” but to “The Tonight Show,” where he’ll be a guest on Sept. 11. Currently leading the Republican field in the 2016 presidential race, Trump will sit down with host Jimmy Fallon to discuss his campaign and other issues, NBC announced Tuesday. Terrence Howard and Pharrell Williams will also be guests that night.

Chris Christie says he’s thinking of taking a more aggressive approach during the next Republican presidential primary debate. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Monday night, the New Jersey governor and presidential candidate told Fallon that he’s considering going “nuclear” if he’s relegated to the sidelines during the next GOP face-off, which will be moderated by CNN later this month. “Stay tuned on Sept. 16th,” Christie told Fallon, “We may be changing tactics. You know, if I get to like 15 questions in a row—count ’em at home—if I get to 15 in a row (where...

After former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush formally announced he is running for president on Monday, he stopped by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Tuesday night to slow-jam the news of his campaign kickoff. Fallon and The Roots filled the segment with sexually suggestive double entendres, calling the younger Bush sibling a “caucus tease” and a “master debater” with “lots of experience down south.” Bush isn’t the first politician to play in Fallon’s signature segment — President Barack Obama, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have tried their hand at the slow jam. Let’s...
