Why I Love Jimmy Fallon And "The Tonight Show"

Of all the talk show hosts that are or ever were, my favorite is Jimmy Fallon. Take a look at my DVR -- there will be at least one episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," if I haven't caught up and watched them all yet.

I have recorded and seen every single episode of "The Tonight Show" since Fallon took over as the host. I actually started keeping up with him towards the end of his run as the host of "Late Night," but that was over two years ago now.

I don't do that with any other talk show.

If you come over my house, you will have a very high chance of stumbling upon me doing my homework with Fallon, his guests and his house band, The Roots, plastered all over the TV screen. If you're on the other side of the house, you will probably hear my loud bursts of laughter as I watch "The Tonight Show."

Fallon's sense of humor is similar to mine and I find everything he does and says to be completely hilarious. I'm the kind of person who laughs at pretty much everything anyways. If it's not what was said, then it's how it was said. And Fallon's sense of humor and just his personality keep me laughing constantly. He's not over-the-top with his comedy and doesn't seem like he's trying too hard. He's always just easy going with his show and is completely himself, which I appreciate.

The banters back and forth with him and his announcer Steve Higgins in their weird character voices are the best thing ever. And the sketches he does with his guests -- just perfect.

His signature comedy bits are well written and funny as hell. Whether it's his Thank You Notes, the Hashtags, Pros and Cons, or Tonight Show Superlatives and Do Not Read lists, the show never disappoints.

And who doesn't love a lip sync battle?

Every show is great. He gets good guests and awesome musical performances, making you interested in the shows coming up.

So whether you stay up late and watch it as it airs, or record it and watch it later, "The Tonight Show" is a good source of great entertainment that might just sink it's hooks in you.

If you're looking for some laughs, watch "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" weeknights at 11:35/10:35C on NBC.

AI music threatens creativity

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

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
