Default Late Night With Jimmy Fallon...Now Featuring The Roots

This is outstanding...and will probably actually get me to watch this show. The Roots as the house band? It doesn't get any better than that.

They were on point tonight...their first night.

I thought last night's show was pretty decent. It's slowly getting better.

Uhm, I think you're confused... they've been on since day one.

Still doesn't help the show, it's terrible.

He seems so out of his element.
