Willie Nelson & Lukas Nelson Perform “It’s Flooding in Texas” on Jimmy Fallon — Magical

It’s rare to see a television performance that makes you feel as if you’re watching the band live. But Willie Nelson and his son, Lukas Nelson, accomplished it. Watch them perform “It’s Flooding in Texas” on Jimmy Fallon.

Howard Stern on Jimmy Fallon: Insults Jay Leno

Howard Stern is at his best when he’s expelling venomous hatred toward his enemies. One notorious enemy is Jay Leno, who Stern’s been bad-mouthing for years. Their bad blood started when Leno stole one of Stern’s staffers and years later, Stern still won’t relent. So when Jimmy Fallon mentioned Leno to Stern, the Stern fans in the audience predictably went nuts, as did Stern. Apparently, Fallon called Stern for advice about interviewing President Obama and then confessed to Stern that he also called Leno. Stern then said, “Jay Leno’s hasn’t done a good interview ever,” and “I never would have answered you if I knew [that].” Watch below.

Justin Timberlake & Jimmy Fallon — The History of Rap — Part 2

Justin Timberlake amazes me.  When you think of all the teenyboppers that began in the business who were unable to prolong their success after their bubble-gum-genre crashed and burned, it’s extremely impressive how much he reinvented his career.  He’s not only managed to land major acting roles, but he’s also had continued comedic success on Saturday Night Live with some incredible sketches (who could forget “dick-in-a-box?). So when he joined Jimmy Fallon for the History of Rap Part 2, I almost fell off my chair.  It’s damn good, and they even topped the last one.  I need not even mention Jimmy Fallon’s talent for impersonations.  That guy never disappoints.
 

Howard Stern on Jimmy Fallon: Plays ‘Louie Louie’

Stern fans everywhere likely know why it’s so hilarious that he played Louie Louie on Jimmy Fallon.  For those that don’t listen to his show, aside from being ashamed of yourself, you should know that  Jimmy Kimmel threw Howard Stern a party the last time Stern visited Los Angeles, and Stern took great pride in playing Louie Louie with the other musicians at the party.  It’s apparently the only thing he can play, so it only makes sense that he’d break out his best hit for his Fallon appearance. Stern revealed during his interview that he’s only there to promote the new Sirius phone app, and he’s finished with talk show appearances altogether.  “It’s a lot of pressure to come out here, he said.  What, I gotta prove  myself to you?  I mean come on, really”  Since Jimmy Fallon is such a huge Howard Stern fan, he didn’t take offense.   I’m absolutely positive that we’ll see Stern on again, despite his retirement declaration.  His curmudgeon proclamations are always temporary.

Best Television Shows — Do the Actors Keep in Touch?

I’m always wondering whether the actors from my favorite television shows still remain in touch.  I’ve done my research, and compiled a list below.  Enjoy!

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN

David Faustino revealed on Chelsea Lately that his Married With Children co-stars would be appearing in his new web series, Star-ving, because they really believed in the quality of the series. Though I’m sure his webisodes were good, something tells me that the continued friendship with his co-stars helped land their appearance. The revelation that they still keep in touch, made me yearn for the big-haired Peg Bundy. Married With Children might have been the first ‘Modern Family.’

ROSEANNE

John Goodman is a notorious curmudgeon in interviews. Not even James Lipton could break his guarded nature during Inside the Actors Studio. When asked on The View whether he keeps in touch with his Roseanne co-stars, he bluntly said no, and blamed it on himself. Judging from the picture above, they at least keep in touch at awards shows.

WINGS

Wings was one of my favorite shows in television history. The two brothers are still on my hot-man list, and I luckily get my Tim Daly fix on Private Practice. I couldn’t help but wonder whether Tim Daly and Steven Weber keep in touch. The picture above was very recently taken, so I’m happy to report that they are still friends.

FULL HOUSE

Every time John Stamos appears on Howard Stern’s radio show, Stern tells him to have sex with the Olsen twins. Stamos says he just couldn’t do it, but a small part of me thinks he might. The entire cast of Full House say they keep in touch, though I suspiciously have never seen a picture of the Olsen twins with any of them. But six out of eight isn’t bad.

BEVERLY HILLS 90210

Ian Ziering said in a recent interview, that he wanted to do a 90210 reunion, but The CW couldn’t make it happen. Apparently, the entire cast was willing to appear. In fact, at Jason Priestly’s wedding, many 90210 cast members showed up, including, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Tiffani Thiessen and Tori Spelling.

SEINFELD

There isn’t much need to answer whether the Seinfeld cast still talks, because they all appeared on a Curb Your Enthusiasm reunion show.

SAVED BY THE BELL


Jimmy Fallon tried and failed to get the Saved By The Bell cast to reunite on his show. He was forced to have a California Dreams reunion instead.  They later reunited for People Magazine, with the exception of Dustin Diamond, who wasn’t invited due to a ridiculous “tell-all” book about his fellow cast-mates.

Jimmy Fallon Impersonates Kate Gosselin’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Performance

This is definitely worth taking the time to watch.  I’m not sure I realized just how challenged Gosselin is at the art of dance until I watched Fallon’s impersonation.  I’m still rooting for her though.  Watch it below, and click on the second video if you want to see Gosselin’s original performance.

‘California Dreams’ Reunion on Jimmy Fallon

Not sure if anyone remembers this show, but I absolutely loved it!  It came on after ‘Saved by the Bell.’  Jimmy Fallon got the cast to reunite and update on their current lives.  They also sang the great theme song from the show!  It does sort of depress me that though that this show was the high point of their careers in the industry.  I really did think they would all be huge stars one day.  Sigh…the delusions of youth.
