Monday's Late Night Round-Up: Pirates, China, And Mel Gibson's Divorce (VIDEO)

Late night shows came back with a vengeance after many took last week off for the holidays. You won't get new Colbert and Kimmel til tonight, but on Monday evening Leno, Letterman, Fallon and Ferguson came rushing back into our hearts.

The big topic of conversation was of course the rescue of Captain Phillips by sniper-wielding Navy Seals. Leno jumped right in comparing the Somali men to other pirates in our lives. Letterman, on the other hand, discussed Obama's Easter Egg celebration at the White House saying:

"They almost had to cancel the Easter Egg Roll and at the last minute the United States government borrowed a billion eggs from China."

More from Ferguson on Mel Gibson, and Fallon on the Masters below.

I like Jimmy Fallon and he's ahead in the ratings so I think he'll be on NBC for a long time to come. Sorry
Fallon haters.

[EmotionDetector]

Jimmy Fallon is only ahead in the ratings because people are creatures of habit, for years they've used to turning to Conan at that time slot on NBC.

Give him a year, we'll see how good his ratings are.

Craig!

Corn Holeman and Johncornin' (R-Texaco) are a political tag team made in heaven! What will our late nite friends do with one of their own in the Senate? Oh yeah, maybe they planned all this...

NBC please cancel Fallon for the integrity of the late night lineup

[elizabethannew]

Fallon seems so unsure of himself. I don't think he's funny, but maybe if he were more confident, it would help his delivery. Ferguson is great.

[Jeffreygeez]

That is it. Fallon has no confidence in himself, nor the ability to laugh at himself. Without that there can be no delivery. He sweats it out. It is difficult to watch, and he cannot last.

[bowthai]

Yeah, he seems like a kid who still can't believe he got his own tv show. Eh, I'll give him a chance yet.

[AG64]

Ferguson's got bite. Me like him.

[Mitch rite]

Ugh, why is Fallon in these round-ups? I miss Conan.

He'll be back soon...

[richardwb]

Why?
Payola.

Fallon sounds like one of Steve Martin's jokes:

Comedy is about TIMING, TIMEing, timeING,
