Why 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' Is The Best Late Night Show You Can Watch

Not all late night talk shows are made equal. Some are superior to others. If you were to consult the mirror mirror on the wall, it would tell you that "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" is fairest of them all. Jimmy Fallon is fun, relatable and extremely talented. He is surrounded by a great team of people, which take him to new heights every show. Here are six reasons as to why "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" is the best late night show you can watch.


1. His Monologues

Jimmy doesn’t simply deliver his monologue; he delivers, nurtures and sends his monologue off to college every night. His experience in standup shines through every night as he flawlessly delivers his opening monologues with unwavering confidence. He captures you with his engaging, current and entertaining style without it seeming forced or overly rehearsed. Basically, he'd ace any public speaking class that dared to challenge him.


2. His Improv

Jimmy is a rebel who doesn't need a script. His ability to improv at any given moment is really something special. Not every entertainer has that ability, yet Jimmy goes off script on the daily. His spontaneously developed characters and plots can be more entertaining than even the most well thought out segments on any show. Jimmy proves to everyone that sometimes going off script pays off.


3. His Friendship with Justin Timberlake

I don't know about you, but my friends and I always talk about all the cool things we'll do when we become rich and famous. Obviously, nothing in life is guaranteed, but it's always good to strive for success. With that being said, Jimmy and Justin are #FriendshipGoals. Justin is the peanut butter to Jimmy's jelly, the fried rice to his sesame chicken, the Robin to his Batman. The bromance is alive and well, they're both hilarious, talented and their friendship is super relatable. Every time they come together the world becomes a better place, even if just for a moment. Sometimes, it's nice to see two friends living out their boyhood dreams together.


4. His Supporting Cast

No late night talk show is complete without a great band or a sarcastic sidekick. Jimmy is lucky enough to have both. Steve Higgins, "The Tonight Show"'s announcer, has incredible chemistry with Jimmy. A lot of Jimmy's improv stems from the snarky or sarcastic comments made by Higgins. They have a similar sense of humor and feed off of each other incredibly well. They create worlds out of nothing and have a partnership that can't be found on any other late night talk show. The Roots are also an irreplaceable part of "The Tonight Show." Not only do they provide a great vibe throughout the show, they also take part in various bits and segments within the show. They're almost as synonymous to "The Tonight Show," as "The Tonight Show" is to The Roots.


5. The Segments

Every late night show strives to have funny segments that their fans will enjoy. By now, you shouldn't be surprised to read that "The Tonight Show" is full of hilarious segments that'll keep you chuckling throughout the night. From late night superlatives, to egg Russian roulette, to thank you notes, "The Tonight Show" is full of incredibly funny, witty and entertaining bits that will surely keep you coming back for more.


6. His Impersonations

Jimmy has the uncanny ability to be able to impersonate anyone he wants. With this being election season, Jimmy has had a field day impersonating various presidential candidates, most notably, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. His ability to change personas almost instantaneously is what makes his improv so good and is what makes him so entertaining to watch throughout the show. If this late night talk show thing doesn't work out, he has a huge future as a Trump impersonator.

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.

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.
