I Wish It Was Christmas Today

Christmas is awesome. It's the time of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ and the time you get to yell "Merry Christmas!" to all other pointless religions.

Also, you get music gems that make you feel happy and make the Christmas spirit even more ass-whooping.

A bunch of years ago, when Jimmy Fallon looked like a homeless guy, he recorded a song on SNL with a real homeless guy, Horatio Sanz. Sanz and Fallon shared the same office and one day Sanz started screwing around with the tiny guitar on his desk. Fallon, liking what he heard, started playing the keyboard and singing along and poof, "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" was born.

Lorne Michaels liked it so much, he made them do a skit about it.

Flashforward to today...

Jimmy Fallon hosts Late Night and Horatio Sanz is still homeless. However, the Christmas spirit overpowers all and reunites the love that lives inside all of us during the holidays.

So Jimmy Fallon grabbed his favorite homeless friend and with the help of Julian Casablancas and the endlessly cool "Roots", made people shout, "I Wish It Was Christmas Today"!

Merry Christmas. And Merry Christmas only.

Jimmy Fallon's Only Highlight

I didn't get to watch the premiere of 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon'. I missed it because I was too busy watching Jack Bauer blow stuff up.

Apparently there weren't too many highlights. It's understandable though, being the FIRST show. Jimmy Fallon was really nervous and I'm gonna give the whole thing a chance.

The coolest thing about the show, and possibly the coolest thing about late night TV, is that 'The Roots' are Jimmy Fallon's house band. They quit their large-scale touring gig and will concentrate on their gig on 'Late Night'. Everyone was anticipating this move and what they'd possibly do.

Here's an example of the possibilities. It's frickin sweet. There's potential.
