“Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!” the punchline screams from your television. You look at your watch; It’s late. You drop everything and run to the front room. A grin forms on your face as you see the "funny-man Fallon" walk out from the spunky blue curtain and is announced: “The Tonight Show, starring Jimmy Fallon!" "The Tonight Show" is known for its rise in creativity from humorous variety skits. Here is a list for the best of Fallon’s memorable bits.
1. “Thank You Notes”
One of the most prominent skits held on Friday nights is “Thank You Notes”. Fallon will proceed with sappy, sob music and write “thank you notes” to the things that are happening in the world or current events that are going on, or just random things that he comes up with to get a laugh.

2. “Wheel of Musical Impressions” with Ariana Grande
When Jimmy knows there are some great impressionists in the entertainment business, he plays "Wheel of Impressions" or when a singer comes on, "Wheel of Musical Impressions". This video was one of the best "Impressions" I found. Ariana Grande must have had major experience with her impressions of famous musical talents. She hit all the great notes with Britney Spears “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. She wowed the audience with her soulful rendition of Christina Aguilera singing “The Wheels On The Bus”. Ariana killed it with Celine Dion “Can’t Feel My Face.”
3. “Jimmy Hashtags”
Every once in a while, Jimmy will ask on his Twitter feed and post a hashtag for people to respond. From there, he will pick out the most brilliant hashtags of the night and read them aloud to the audience. Some of the hashtags that have been featured are #unhappycampers #weddingfail #illegalizeit and #thatwasstupid. Here's a great video:
4. “Lip Sync Battle” with Emma Stone
Let's be honest here, Emma Stone KILLED it! The timid, humble star broke out of her shell, hitting all the right words. Ultimately Emma crushed her performance with her lightning fast lyrics and mad beats. The funny man Jimmy Fallon tried to please the audience with his sporadic dance moves to the classic hit, “Mr. Roboto” by Styx and got the audience going. Emma mesmerized with her rap “All I Do Is Win”, again, hitting all the major words and getting into the music. Jimmy even announced the star the winner at the end of her amazing performance. Congrats, Emma.
5. “Ew”
Most of you have seen the comedy skit, “Ew” that Jimmy Fallon does with celebrities. "Sara with no H because h’s are ew,” is Jimmy’s tagline. He does a lot of funny expressions with a ridiculous Valley girl accent that quite honestly are very funny. He dresses up in girl clothing and a wig, and completes the look with braces. A few of his co-stars that have starred on this segment have been: Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Michelle Obama, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift. He even wrote a song called “Ew!” performed with Will.I.Am. The video exceeded 32 million hits and is still growing.
If you haven’t watched Fallon, I suggest you watch the show. He always brings a grin to my face, even on the worst nights. "The Tonight Show" airs every Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on NBC.
