Dear Jimmy Fallon,
Late night television is a part of American culture that provides viewers (and anybody on social media) a laugh over the topics and events that are going on that week. Some are a fan of James Corden, Seth Myers or one of the Jimmy’s, each one has their own segment that periodically pops up in our news feeds. My personal favorite is your Thank You Notes, where you thank the pop culture events of that week for what they really are in all of our minds. There has been so many hilarious thank you notes, but the 10 listed below are a few of my favorites. So let us all picture the slow music of the Roots as I thank you for giving us a light-hearted spin on what is going on in our world.
1.
We have all been to an outdoor wedding and if we think we are hot, imagine how the bride feels in that ballgown or the groom in his tux.
2.
It’s supposed to be very healthy, but all I can think about is how inflexible I am. Maybe one day it will come to me...
3.
And it’s so much more fun than saying the actual time.
4.
My family does write a holiday letter, and we always get lots of compliments. Yet in 20 years, we have yet to inspire somebody to write one. Coincidence? You decide?
5.
Everybody knows a snorer and nothing is more obnoxious than trying to sleep with one in the same room. I love you, but you will be dealing with the crabby, sleep-deprived person come morning time.
6.
Nobody looks good in those robes and somehow it draws focus away from that Lilly Pulitzer you just had to have.
7.
It also brings some laughs to the Thanksgiving table. It might be better to stick to yams though. Or is it sweet potatoes?
8.
Honestly, I’m just not fancy enough to call my cheese and crackers anything else. Maybe a goal for the future though?
9.
Poor Rudolph, he just wanted to fit in. I think it all ended up good for him in the end. After all none of those other reindeer have a song about them.
10.
Possibly the most uncomfortable Olympic sport ever. Don’t walk too fast, but still try to get the medal…
So, thank you, Jimmy Fallon, for providing laughs about some of the most mundane topics and reminding us to be grateful for anything and everything. Sometimes our world needs a reminder to express gratitude, even for the things we don’t like.
Sincerely,
A grateful Thank You Note viewer.
