Murder= My childhood crush on Zach Morris and my early 20’s crush on Jimmy Fallon. Suicide= Both Gosselaar and Fallon’s careers.

Jimmy Fallon had Mark-Paul Gosselaar on as “Zach Morris”, the character he played on the hit 90’s TV show “Saved By The Bell”. The only parallel I can muster up to describe this atrocity, is the sadness and hope I feel for our US economy. As with the economy, I’m just so sad that both Jimmy and Mark-Paul have fallen to such depths, and I truly hope, with the whole of my heart, that they have the capacity to recover from such a dark, empty place.

Fallon is elaborately planning to reunite the entire cast of “Saved By The Bell”, hoping to drudge up ratings from former teen fans. Unfortunately, if this reunion actually happens, I’m almost certain God will strike down the NBC studio killing everyone, even the already punished studio audience.

Conan O’Brien made his long awaited debut as the new host of the “Tonight Show” Monday night .  Then, in an unprecedented move, he  promptly turned around and told NBC Universal executives where they could shove it as he walked off the stage for the first and, apparently, last time. Read More

Did you guys watch Conan last night?  What did you think?  Not his best, but not his worst…The show seemed like Late Night on steroids, but in a good way…

Here’s the cold open in case you missed it:

Jimmy Fallon’s new website just went live, and there is a tab where you can ask him questions, and he’ll hopefully answer them in his video blogs.  I know I have a few questions for him…

I’m curious to see what he’s made of…Right now I feel like that creepy audience member with my arms folded saying, “make me laugh”, but you know what? He does have a lot to prove in my book. We shall see!

Here is his new website, ask all the questions you want: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/

The Roots have been hired to be Jimmy Fallon’s new talk show house band. That is very bittersweet for me because I’m a fan of The Roots, and now they’ve just become a house band? I suppose it’s a steady gig, and they’ll still get to perform together for 15 seconds at a time as they play to bring on guests, but I feel like they’ve completely sold out.

To me, The Roots have always had the “real factor” going for them, and they’ve just mainstreamed themselves. My friends and I had a debate about this very situation last night and they’re comparing The Roots’ “houseband” situation to Max Weinbergs..but I think they have it all wrong. Max Weinberg hasn’t sold out because he’s simply playing a gig…you don’t see the whole E-street band as Conan’s house band (although that wouldn’t be such a bad idea). The Roots have simply given up in my eyes but at least I can say “I used to listen to them when…”
