| Patti LuPone sings from her Tony Award winning performance in GYPSY |
I didn’t see this when it aired in August, but wow.
I love that Patti belts all the way through “And nothing’s gonna stop us ’til we’re through” at 2:07. Just full on belt, open vowel, fabulous.
The role of “Mama Rose” won Patti her second Tony Award, don’t you know… 🙂
Wake up, Monday. Time to get it going.

| Barbra Streisand joins Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show |
Barbara Streisand appeared on The Tonight Show for the first time in over 50 years last night. A fact that seemed particularly scary for Jimmy Fallon as he explained to Babs that he really expected her to whirl into the studios as a difficult diva. Babs didn’t seem to understand why.
I would guess there was a pre-arranged agreement that Babs would sit in the host’s chair as she is known to favor her left side.
She did sing a medley from her new album Partners using Fallon as a stand-in for Elvis, Blake Shelton and Michael Buble, putting a spin on the rather historic appearance.

Via The Tonight Show
Jimmy Fallon officiates the drum battle of Will Ferrell and Chad Smith (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) for the title of greatest drummer on the Tonight Show.
Who knew they seriously looked so much alike???
Chad’s last solo kills. Over 4.5 million views in less than a day.
Stop, drop and watch Kevin Bacon’s epic entrance on The Tonight Show last night.
Thirty years later, and Kevin is still “Footloose.” I love that he was not only game for the sequence, he knocked it out.
This is great.

| First Lady Michelle Obama on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Will Ferrell |
The right-wing zealots are SCREAMING about how “embarrassing” it is that the First Lady appeared in this Tonight Show skit with Jimmy Fallon and Will Ferrell to promote her campaign for healthy eating choices and exercise.
Wow. What a TOTALLY terrible thing to do…?
Not.

Expecting Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon instead gets a surprise visit from One Direction front man Harry Styles and the two sing “What Makes You Beautiful.”
