Jimmy Fallon, Best Tonight Show Host Ever??
Jimmy Fallon used to host Late Night With Jimmy Fallon before he took over for Jay Leno and became the host of The Tonight Show. Since he has taken over he has completely raised the show to new heights and increased the ratings immensely. Steve Allen started as host and was succeeded by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and now Jimmy Fallon.
Starting on Saturday Night Live Jimmy Fallon has been a well known name for a while, and he's stolen the hearts of many people that watch him. Since he has been host, he has brought a youthful vibe back to the show and many entertainment and comedy based sketches. He's done various fun skits including, classroom instrument versions of songs with famous music artists and lip-sync battles with celebrities such as Emma Stone and Joseph-Gordon Levitt. He's "mom-danced" with Michelle Obama, done 90's dance sketches with Will Smith, created the famous "EW!" video with Will.I.Am, and so many other famous skits that people quote on the daily.
Fallon was named Entertainment Weekly's 2014 Entertainer of the Year and the viewership of the show has gone up 31% since Jay Leno hosted the show last. He's had guests range from Taylor Swift, to the late Joan Rivers, to Nicole Kidman and Bill Cosby. With all of the excitement of this show, not only viewership has sky rocketed, but also social media. The Tonight Show twitter raised from 514,000 to 1.8 million followers and went from 1.5 to 5.2 million subscribers on Youtube. The Tonight Show is one of my favorite shows to watch on weekday nights, and it's a show that a lot of people look forward to every day as well. It has a laid back vibe filled with plenty of jokes, musical numbers, and famous guests and it's never boring to watch. Jimmy Fallon has brought late night television back to life and made it 10 times better.

Late Night with Seth Meyers
As my all time favorite late night show host moves on to the bigger leagues, it is time for Seth Meyers to move up in his career. Seth is taking over the Late Night show on February 24th. I have always been a huge fan of Seth on SNL. My favorite part of the show would be the Weekend Update with Seth and Amy Poehler (when she was still on the show.) It will not be the same without him, however I could not be more thrilled for the launch in his career. Seth has a way of connecting with his audience and is an incredible writer. He is funny, but not too cocky. He has wrote some amazing sketches on SNL. One of my all time favorites that he co-wrote was the opening with Tina Fey playing the role of Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler playing the role of Hilary Clinton. This was one of the best sketches on SNL of the presidential election back in 2008.
To start off the show, Amy Poehler will be Meyers' first guest. I think this is the best decision for the show. It will create tons of hype because it will be a reunion and a new beginning at the same time. The Late Night show is going to be different for sure, but it is time for a change. Seth deserves to move up in his career and to be the spotlight. As devastasting as it is that after 22 years, Jay Leno is retiring, it is time for a new face to shine in Late Night. I believe that Jimmy Fallon is the perfect choice to fill Leno's shoes and will continue the shows longtime success. With Seth Meyers going into the Late Night Show, I have complete faith that he will make us all proud. I can't wait to see what these two shows, Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon have in store.

Jay Leno Bids Farewell To The Tonight Show
After a 22 year run Jay Leno is no longer running the The Tonight Show. He will be replaced by the infamous Jimmy Fallon to continue the show's longtime success. Prior to Jay Leno, it was run by the one and only Johnny Carson. Mr. Carson held one of the greatest talk shows of all time, his personality and suave was arguebly unparalleled by many till Jay Leno came along. I am a huge fan of talk shows, especially Jay Leno's. He is known for being a fair guy when it comes to interviews, he just tries to have a nice conversation that gives us insight into the interviewee. In comparison to other talk shows, he is considered an easy going guy who isn't out to get you.
A lot of the time you will see people such as David Letterman who will say and do whatever not considering the feelings of who he's talking to just for entertainment value. Don't get me wrong, I love the Letterman show sometimes, but other times it seems as if he is a bit to insulting to the people he's talking to. Jay goes into his interviews with very little bias and tries to make is a fair conversation. Depending on who you are what you prefer, you may like David more based on his craziness or willingness to call you out on your BS.All of these shows have there ups and downs, pros and cons, it just depends on what you like more. Jimmy Fallon will has some big shoes to fill but I feel he is up for the challenge. Hopefully I can make my way to his set to see him speak in person or at least watch it on NBC.

Go Daddy Nerd Is Making His Rounds
I don't know which super bowl commercial was your favorite, it could've been Budweiser Clydesdale reuniting with his owner or the lonely teen who drives an Audi to prom and develops the courage to kiss the hottest girl in school (much to the dismay of the prom king). But my personal favorite was non other than that of the Go Daddy stud Jesse Heiman going hard in a make out sesh with supermodel Bar Raefali.
Too sexy for words.
What's our stud up to now after gaining national fame from his mad smooching skills?
BECOMING A MAKE OUT WHORE
Here is he is locking lips with "Extra" correspondent Maria Menounos:
With Jenny Mccarthy (alright they're not making out, but they did after this I swear):
and of course... JAY LENO?!?!
Well I guess when you've got that charm and charisma like Heiman does, you're pretty much irresistible to everyone. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS HEIMAN!!!
