And Here Comes Your Host, Jimmy Fallon

E News

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Dr. Martin Luther King

With the recent headlines across the world that very light seems to be heavily dim. But at times moments occur where that light is projected to the masses. In 2014 popular SNL alum Jimmy Fallon made a game changing move with taking the "Tonight Show" back to its New York roots with the Roots as his accompanying band. This past week Fallon has surpassed 500 episodes with his always entertaining, occasionally uplifting, smash hit show.

Laughter is a universal language with the power to make our world's current reality a bit easier to bear. The following are a few of my favorite moments from the "Tonight Show" that can brighten up anyone's day.

"Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing."

This skit was from his debut episode, and who better than the Fresh Prince to help him kick it off?

"Wheel of Musical Impressions with Christina Aguilera."

Christina's impression of Britney Spears should be placed in the Smithsonian or have its own star on the Walk of Fame.

" Lip Sync Battle with Emma Stone."

Thanks to Emma's performance alone this skit now has an entire show dedicated solely to this contest with host LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen.

"Lip Sync Battle with Melissa McCarthy."

Loved that one! Then here's another one. But don't worry there are plenty more to watch!

"Hello w/ Classroom Instruments."

From the look of pure awe on Fallon's face to Adele picking up a toy phone her talent shines so bright throughout this video. It's crazy how effortless this was for her.

"Slow Jam the News with President Obama."

This time next year this country will have a new president *sigh* but his successor won't be able to top this.

"History of Rap 6 with Justin Timberlake."

JT and JFall are the best of friends who both just happen to be incredibly talented. Their history of rap skit has six parts where each installment is somehow better than the previous video. These skits illustrate just a glimpse of their talent and perfect chemistry.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
