Jimmy Fallon’s House Band

I just found out that Jimmy Fallon has started a nightly video blog, giving folks a behind-the-scenes look at his transition into filling Conan O’Brien’s shoes as host of “Late Night.” That’s interesting enough, but what is even more interesting to me was who they got to be their new house band!

The Roots > Max Weinberg and whatever the Hell they’re called…

I’m definitely giving Jimmy more of a chance now. I mean, if all else fails, at least we know the music will be great! To see more, go to www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com

Erykah Badu Groupie Talk

Transcripts from a chat held earlier this morning:

Marlene: Badu’s in DC? Damn :(

Leon: Yep. Her and The Roots

Marlene: Oh wow.

Leon: I’m going to be a male groupie and have sex with her, just to see if she’s as freaky as I think she is…

Marlene: um you’re gonna end up wearing crochet pants. She has Galactic Cat.

Leon: So if you see me tomorrow dressed like Issac Hayes and smelling like incense, you know why.

Marlene: Nah, you’ll probably just be whimpering in fetal position. You won’t even come outside.

Leon: Yeah, I will…I’ll be wearing a dashiki, space boots and a football helmet covered in glitter.

On of the perks of being my friend: Conversations like these!
