The death of late-night talk-show television has been so slow, so painful, so very unfunny. Honestly it’s flabbergasting that David Letterman didn’t successfully sarcastify the genre into its grave twenty years ago—though god knows he has tried. But are we closer now to the sweet embrace of the pop-cultural crypt? 

Eventually Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon are going to run out of songs, but not yet. Behold, History Of Rap: Part 4.

Just when you thought you couldn't love Michelle Obama even more, she appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night for a segment called "The Evolution Of Mom Dancing."

Benjamin Apple, when he’s not writing for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, is master of the dry-as-a-bone-in-the-desert comedy web series: check out the mercilessly deadpan Late Night Interview With Benjamin Forrest when you get a chance. Right now, though, Apple’s back with Questions & Answers, the most doggedly educational thing on the Internet right now.

Last night's Golden Gloves solidified that yes, Hollywood is filled with beautiful faces and chiseled, well-crafted bodies of all shapes and sizes. But you know, behind that sheen of glamour and satin, everyone is still a little weird looking when you think about it—which only makes you love them more. And what a better way to capture that than with a candid post-award snapshot? The folks at Vulture have posted a series of 35 polaroids from last night, taken by photographer Lucas Michael, who had exclusive access to the hallway in which the stars cram into to retouch their makeup and compose themselves before sitting back down at their tables. 

Seattle rapper Macklemore and his collaborator Ryan Lewis have been in the eye of hip hop lovers for a few years. Shortly after they dropped The Heist back in October, they watched their album crawl up the Billboard charts to #2. This week, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performed on TV for for the first time ever, courtesy of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. 

As if you needed further proof that Jimmy Fallon is the greatest: Christina Aguilera performed Love Your Body in his office with the Roots playing music with office supplies.

If The Roots ever stop working out as Jimmy Fallon's house band, it's good to know they have Black Simon and Garfunkel to fall back on. 

TMZ, People, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have all harmoniously confirmed the terrible breakup of a torrid sexual relationship between Hollywood actors Jennifer Anniston and Robert Pattinson, who appeared on The Daily Show with Jimmy Fallon last night to confirm that he will be the new legal guardian for Suri Cruise, the illegitimate child of British chanteuse Adele and an unnamed father who is probably Bret Michaels, the rock star famous for his recently called-off double-engagement to Twilight’s Kristen Stewart and one of the girls from Teen Mom.

Songs are great, but sometimes you don’t know you love a track until you see the video. Thanks to the Internet and our insatiable appetite for amusement, the releases these days come fast and furious—check out our own premiere of Theresa Andersson’s “Street Parade” from this morning.
