Well, nobody ever said running for President was easy - just ask Rick Perry.
After Perry’s disastrous display at the last presidential debate where he FORGOT the third government agency he would close down, the late night comedy world took aim at him for a few laughs.
First, David Letterman did a hilarious Rick Perry Top Ten List of Excuses.
One of the funniest lines was “Hey, you try concentrating with Mit Romney staring at you… that’s one handsome dude.”
Now there are two words we thought we would never hear in the same sentence – Justin Bieber and Rick Perry!
But the laughs didn’t stop there.
Jimmy Fallon also took to the makeup chair for one of his best parodies to date to spoof Perry and the other candidates in a new series of GOP presidential campaign ads.
But Fallon didn’t stop with Rick Perry. He also went after Michele Bachmann, Mit Romney, and Herman Cain.
Leave it to Fallon and Letterman to lampoon these guys and to say what so many of us would like to say - but just don’t have 2 million people listening to us.
Just twenty four hours into the Mariah Yeater and Justin Bieber baby drama the story is not going away.
Los Angeles police have now said that they are looking into the fact that Bieber’s accuser, now 20-year-old Mariah Yeater, may have engaged in statutory rape with the then 16-year-old singer.
Yeater says she hooked up with JB in a private bathroom last year and had sex at the Staples Center after one of his concerts.
She claims in court documents that Bieber whisked her into a private bathroom and the two engaged in consensual sex that left her pregnant with now three month old Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater.
California says it is a crime for an adult to have sex with anyone under eighteen years old. If the offender is no more than three years older than the victim it would result in a conviction of a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to a year in jail.
Mariah Yeater
Yeater has filed a paternity suit in California demanding Bieber take a blood and DNA test, and a court date of December 15th has been scheduled to hash out the details of what happens next.
Yeater is suing for $12,000 per month to cover child support for their son. She also told police,
“The intercourse only lasted about 30 seconds and Justin did not want to wear a condom. He apologized for his lack of stamina afterwards and then I was whisked away and I never saw him again. I tried to contact him through normal channels but nobody ever got back to me so I felt I had to go public.”
“These accusations are malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”
But there are some people out there that believe this is all a big hoax, a joke, a ruse, a con job, a Bieber baby scam.
They say the story was devised long ago as a way to keep Bieber’s name in the news during his Christmas album release and help bolster his masculinity in a growing crowd of fans that are starting to believe the whole Selena Gomez girlfriend thing is a big fraud and Bieber is, well… less than manly.
The Bieb’s DID appear on the “Today” show Friday morning to try and crush the rumors by saying,
"I'd just like to say basically that none of those allegations are, like, true. I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm, like, never going to be a victim. It's, like, crazy, every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's, like, crazy that some people want to make up such false allegations. To set the record straight, none of it is true."
Bieber told Matt Lauer, “I don’t know that women and I have never met her.”
But that didn’t keep the late night comedy world from taking a stab at the humorous aspect of the story.
In fact, Jimmy Fallon did a parody of the singers hit song “Baby” to explain to his fans what had happened.
We love it when Jimmy does a musical parody and this one will become a classic.
Funny stuff.
We have all seen how Justin and Selena Gomez act around each other – particularly their weekend romp in Hawaii earlier this year where photos emerged of Bieber grabbing Selena’s butt and the two sucking face in every photo.
So last June, Justin Bieber visited Jimmy Fallon’s late night show and the two did a funny spoof of Bieber’s “Someday” fragrance commercial during the perfumes official launch week.
What we DIDN’T see were the bloopers and out takes that happened behind the scenes during the filming of the segment.
This is hilarious stuff - and shows what really happens when you get two funny people together for a comedy spoof.
The parody commercial harkens back to Fallon’s days on Saturday Night Live and Bieber is a natural for this kind of humor.
The first video below is the ORIGINAL segment that aired in June of 2011 on Fallon’s show.
This next video shows the bloopers and outtakes that went on behind the scenes that were never aired – until now.
We love seeing this kind of behind the scenes footage and it definitely has Fallon’s days at SNL written all over it.
Funny man Jonah Hill stopped by to talk with NBC’s Jimmy Fallon last night and it turned out to be one of the best late night interviews we have ever seen.
We had no idea Jonah Hill could be this funny, and he certainly has dropped a few pounds.
In fact, that is an understatement – he has lost a LOT of weight and is looking good!
Jonah was there to plug his new movie with Brad Pitt called “Moneyball” and to talk about his new show he just sold to FOX called "Allen Gregory" - his new animated series that tells the story of one of the most pretentious 7-year-olds of our time.
Jonah told a hilarious story about meeting with the people from FOX during a party and running into Matthew Morrison from “Glee” for the first time.
It’s a great inside look at Hollywood parties, famous people meeting other famous people, and snobbery.
The interview is hilarious!
By the time that interview was over we didn’t really care about “Moneyball” and had turned into huge Jonah Hill fans for life!
And by the way, his new show Allen Gregory looks like it could be another hit for FOX. It is an animated show and will follow “The Simpsons” staring October 30, 2011.
Take a look at this trailer and you’ll see what we mean:
We got to give kudos to Jonah Hill – he really seems to be getting a lot funnier and more comfortable in his own skin. Gone are the days of that awkward fat actor who seemed to be only strangely funny at times.
Last night, Justin Bieber stopped by NBC’s 30 Rock to visit Jimmy Fallon and talk about his new women’s perfume “Someday”.
Well, it wasn’t as much talk as it was funny SNL type commercial parody.
Jimmy and the Biebs did a parody commercial for “Someday” where Bieber says; someday… we’ll be together… Someday I’ll fall in love… Someday I’ll be older…
And someday, I’ll be fat and look like this.
That’s when Fallon appears in his “Bieber” costume.
The skit was shot in black and white and shows Bieber looking at Fallon and wondering how he got to looking that bad.
It is hilarious.
Watch Justin Bieber on the Jimmy Fallon Show
Justin has been doing up New York this week with appearances on the David Letterman Show reading the Top Ten List, and visiting the ladies at The View for a little Segway racing.
Fans of Saturday Night Live and Andy Samberg should be happy today.
Samberg and his two comedy partners, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, have released their latest comedy album “Turtleneck & Chains”.
The album is available on iTunes and Amazon and features collaborations with Akon, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, Michael Bolton, Beck, Nicki Minaj, and Santigold.
Okay, for those of you who don’t know about Lonely Island, you may be surprised to know that you may have already seen them.
In fact, last week Samberg and company unleashed their power on Saturday Night Live with their video featuring Michael Bolton on “Jack Sparrow”.
And even if you didn’t watch SNL last week I know you have heard about the Justin Timberlake collaboration a couple of years ago with Samberg called “Dick in a box”. Sound familiar?
Samberg and company have done other tunes including “I just had sex”, “Jizz in my pants”, “Bing Bing Brothers”, “Mother Lover” and others.
The music videos started as digital shorts on SNL and have grown into the full blown comedy group known as the “The Lonely Island”.
Samberg credits his arrival on Saturday Night Live to late night host Jimmy Fallon. Andy was writing jokes for Fallon who asked him to audition for Lorne Michaels – and the rest is history.
Anyway, their new album is available today and the following video is from the title track “Turtleneck & Chains”
Meat Loaf was there to talk with Jimmy about his time on Celebrity Apprentice and learning how to deal with crazy man Gary Busey and nut job Donald Trump.
Jimmy Fallen and Stephen Colbert are feuding over the almighty dollar – charity dollars that is.
It seems that Fallen and Colbert, who claim they have been best friends for six months, got into an on air battle for donations to the charity Donors Choose.
Colbert challenged Fallon’s fans to raise $26,000 for the charity, saying that Fallon would match any donations. Fallon, on the other hand, said he never made that claim.
The feud culminated in an amazing run of giving when Fallon and NBC were able to raise $86,000.
But why was Stephen Colbert so dead set against Fallon’s efforts?
Because Colbert agreed to appear on Jimmy’s show and sing the Rebecca Black smash hit single song “Friday” with the “Roots” if he lost.
Well… Colbert lost, and the result was one of the best pieces of comedy television that we’ve ever seen.
Colbert started singing alone, and then was joined by an auto-tuned rap by Fallon, and then American Idol winner Taylor Hicks piled on, and finally the Jimmy Fallon Dancers rounded out the number.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the most embarrassing loss for charity in late night history.
