Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon dressed up as Ace and Gary for the skit while Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert, who usually voice the animated heroes, took on the roles of the live-action villains.

After watching Kate Gosselin’s performance on “Dancing With The Stars”, I had to agree, it was painful to watch. She didn’t look like she was dancing at all, she just looked like she was on a zombie walk. Apparently, Jimmy Fallon agrees.
I don’t usually watch his show, but this clip is just freakin’ hilarious. He prefaces his interpretive dance by saying that he was attacked by the paparazzi this morning. He then proceeds to put on the red suit jacket and funky hair ala Kate Gosselin’s movie star wanna be self and STRUTS.
Check it out:
After seeing her dance and with her lowwww scoring of only 15, how is she managing to keep a spot on the show at all? Does she have her eight kids speed dialing the show, voting for her twenty times each?
I mean, Buzz Aldrin wasn’t the greatest dancer, but at least he has class. And this video is all kinds of win.
In a somewhat unexpected move, Conan O’Brien has told NBC that he will not agree to moving “The Tonight Show” to after midnight to get the network out of the hash they created by moving Jay Leno to prime time.
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.
Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.
There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.
While I’ve got no dog in this fight — I’ve seldom seen O’Brien’s show (old or new), haven’t watched Leno’s new show, and won’t watch “Tonight” regardless of who’s hosting it or when it’s aired — I’ve come around to O’Brien’s way of thinking.
NBC made a bad choice six years ago when it kicked the can down the road and set Leno’s premature retirement into motion. It compounded that error by putting Leno up against the other network’s prime time dramas, not only screwing the network’s affiliates but also seriously hampering O’Brien’s chances to succeed in the franchise he waited so long to inherit. One can certainly understand, then, O’Brien’s not wanting to be relegated back to the midnight slot and screw over Fallon in the process.
One presumes, then, that NBC will figure some way to buy him out of his contract and that O’Brien will do what David Letterman did in a similar situation years ago: Move to another network and compete against “Tonight.” Fox has already issued a statement saying they’d love to have him.
Apparently, if Jay Leno were a sinking ship, then NBC would be the captain going down with him. The network tried movie the chinned one to the 10PM time slot, but it wasn’t working out.
Once vacated, the 11:30PM time slot was given to Conan O’Brien. Now that NBC is catering to Jay and moving him back to his original time slot, where does that leave Conan and his huge following?
Hopefully, if they’re smart, they’ll give the boot to Jimmy Fallon give his slot to Conan. Let’s hope that after they announced their decision, that they’re listening to the public and have no plans to oust Conan. His fans will follow him and Jay’s show will be left to go down with the ship.
What are your thoughts?
Update: After NBC has given Leno back his time slot, that leaves Conan out in the cold a bit. Sources say that if Conan doesn’t want to go on the air for a half hour, that he could make NBC pay out his contract, worth $80 million, and then relax on the beach some.
Either that, or he could take the time slot and not give Leno any competition and keep his NBC job. The third option would be to go to FOX and get paid $15 million a year, with NBC forking over another $5 million per year to makeup for his lost wages.
