The Bengals star discussed his book, getting violently tackled by his friend Ray Lewis, and his latest fine from the NFL -- for jokingly bribing a referee during a game.

Blake Lively Riverdances, Swipes Jimmy Fallon's Butt (VIDEO)

2009-11-24T09:08:00Z

Blake Lively visited Jimmy Fallon Monday night to address some of the Internet rumors swirling about her. Turns out, most of them are true.

She does tend to break into riverdance jigs, and demonstrated despite initial protests about her dress being too short. And she can recite 'Waiting for Guffman' by heart.

When they got to the last rumor, Blake had to clarify what 'credit card swiping' her friends meant.

"Like in the butt," she said. "Nobody does that here?" Fallon was still confused, so she suggested a reenactment.

"My dress is too short!" Fallon cried before bending over in submission.

"Like Julianne Moore in 'Pippa,'" Blake said, referencing her upcoming S&M themed movie, as she gave him a swipe.

You can see Blake's greatest cleavage moments here.

The Real Housewives Of Late Night Start Thanksgiving Food Fight With The Roots (VIDEO)

2009-11-21T08:57:04Z

We're on episode five of this fabulous series, so we thought we'd catch you up on all the drama so far. In the first installment we met Denise Fallon--the brassy wife of Jimmy Fallon who thinks she's the most important person at "Late Night"; Lydia, an older lady who talks about her boobs a lot; Dale, the Christian diva; Yvonne, the no-nonsense binge-eater; and Renee, the alcoholic. They are all nightmares, but no more so than the ladies on any other "Real Housewives" show.

In the second episode, we learned that Yvonne and Denise really hate each other and are involved in a constant power struggle. This played out at a surprise party Denise threw for Lydia that ended in a giant fight and over-turned table. Their feud continued in the third episode, in which the ladies hit the gym and Yvonne was not invited. She instead ate corndogs and made the Roots play for her.

In episode four the ladies banded together to renovate the "Late Night" kitchen, but that love was short lived. In this NEW VIDEO, Denise reveals the finished product to the ladies and the five of them throw a Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, the rivalry between Denise and Yvonne strikes again and a food fight ensues. Fortunately, they rope the Roots in.

Robert Is Bothered: Pattinson Complains About Lack Of Screen Time In "New Moon" (VIDEO)

2009-11-20T08:30:56Z

When Robert Pattinson gets sad or angry he doesn't cry about it, but rather he climbs up a tree (usually with a doll that looks like Kristen Stewart) and complains. This is not a rare occurrence: Robert is bothered so often that there's a whole Website devoted to it.

The first time we encountered Robert in his tree he and Daniel Radcliffe were engaged in a YouTube war over who had the better movie franchise. Then he complained about Shark Week and Snickers and now he's going on about his lack of screen time in "New Moon."

"Going Rogue" Goes Rogue: Sarah Palin's Book Shoots Rachel Maddow, FBI Agents In "Late Night" Sketch (VIDEO)

2009-11-18T07:54:04Z

Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" was everywhere--every media outlet in the States has done at least a dozen pieces about it. Well now it's nowhere to be found: "Going Rogue" has gone rogue. It picked up a gun, snuck off the set of "Late Night," evaded FBI capture, shot Rachel Maddow and went to meet up with its lover.

This was all part of a sketch last night on Jimmy Fallon's show that was equal parts crazypants and hilarious. They used every fugitive-on-the-run cliche to give the book a life of its own. The only part we found unrealistic was that "Going Rogue" shacked up with "New Moon." We're pretty sure a fantasy book about vampires is too godless for that to be accurate. More likely it would have hopped in bed with Norman Podhoretz's "Why We Were in Vietnam" or Irving Kristol's "Two Cheers for Capitalism."

Rosie O'Donnell Says "F*ck" On Jimmy Fallon Show, Calls Glenn Beck "Carnival Barker" (VIDEO)

2009-11-07T18:30:03Z

Rosie O'Donnell was a guest on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Friday night. The comedian and former talk show host weighed in on Fox News "carnival barker" Glenn Beck and dropped a the f-bomb when she talked about her new show on Sirius XM radio.

Rosie On Glenn Beck:
O'DONNELL: Yeah, it's not ever going to be me and Glenn Beck.
[ Laughter ]
FALLON: It won't be.
O'DONNELL: No.
FALLON: Crying hysterically. No.
O'DONNELL: No. [ Crying sounds ] "Obama is ruining everything. I want drugs. Be afraid, America, we're in trouble."
[ light laughter ]
FALLON: You don't want to hear that everyday now.
O'DONNELL: I don't understand why people enjoy that carnival barker. I don't get it.
[ Laughter ] He's a scary man to me.

WATCH:

O'Donnell used a few choice words as she recounted an exchange with a new employee, saying "shit" twice. At the end her story, Fallon reminded O'Donnell about the swearing and she turned to the audience and said "fuck." None of the swear words made it on air. The were beeped out. It's also worth noting that Fallon's network show doesn't go on air until 12:35 a.m.

Twitter Peek: Jimmy Fallon Reviews New Twitter-Only Device (VIDEO)

2009-11-03T08:38:18Z

Twitter and Peek have just unveiled a brand new device, the Twitter Peek, that does one thing, and one thing only: Tweets.

The Twitter-dedicated device, the product of a partnership between Twitter and the start-up Peek, is available for $100 with six months of service (subsequently $7.95 a month) or $200 for lifetime service, according to SlashGear and Wired.

So what does it do? Not a lot--but it does "[deliver] new tweets in real-time, allows for '@' replies, retweeting and direct messaging, and has the same full-QWERTY keyboard as the Peek Pronto," writes SlashGear.

The problem is: how do you convince consumers--even the most addicted Twitterholics--that they need an entirely separate mobile device just for Twitter access, when programs like Tweetdeck allow them to access Twitter on smartphones? Wired says, "at first we thought it was a joke [...]"

Dvice's take:

The Twitter Peek is a wireless device that can handle Twitter and only Twitter. No phone calls, no email, no mobile internet, no nuthin', just Twitter. There's no word on pricing on this guy, but I'll stick to using Tweetie on my iPhone, thanks.

See what Jimmy Fallon and Joshua Topolsky have to say about the Twitter Peek in this segment from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon below!

The Monty Python Crew Takes Over 'Late Night'; Water-Fight, Chair-Stealing, General Tomfoolery Ensues (VIDEO)

The Monty Python boys are not easy interview subjects. They talk all at once, mock the audience and tell people they're asking terrible questions. Fortunately, their humor more than makes up for their lack of cooperation.

Last night John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam appeared on "Late Night" to promote their upcoming documentary "Monty Python: Almost the Truth (the Lawyer's Cut)," a six hour history of the comedy group that will air in America on IFC starting this Sunday.

Fallon devoted (almost) the entire show to the troupe, who rewarded him by mocking his monologue and getting in water fights. But once the men settled down they shared the stories of their sketches and discussed the hiccups they faced while forming their legacy.

Letterman Becomes Late Night Target After Admitting To Affairs (VIDEO)

2009-10-03T08:54:13Z

(DAVID BAUDER, AP) NEW YORK -- Late-night hosts didn't waste a moment poking fun at the troubles of one of their own, after a CBS newsman was charged with trying to blackmail David Letterman for $2 million in a plot that forced the late-night comic to acknowledge having sex with some of the women who have worked for him.

The bizarre case has created a messy legal and professional problem for one of CBS' most valuable personalities. Commentators and bloggers quickly accused Letterman of hypocrisy because he has made a career of mocking politicians mercilessly, often for their sexual transgressions.

Robert J. "Joe" Halderman, a producer for the true-crime show "48 Hours Mystery," pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan court to one count of attempted first-degree grand larceny, punishable by five to 15 years in prison. Prosecutors said Halderman, who was released after posting $200,000 bail, was desperate and deep in debt.

Jay Leno, Letterman's longtime late-night rival, kicked off his monologue Friday on NBC: "If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you've got the wrong studio."

WATCH:

On NBC's "Late Night," Jimmy Fallon also worked it into his monologue: "There's a new book out called "Why Women Have Sex" that says there are 237 reasons why women have sex. And folks, Letterman knows the top 10."

It remains to be seen whether Letterman will suffer long-term damage just as his career appears to be peaking. Letterman has taken over as the king of late-night in the ratings this summer, and last week he beat NBC's "Tonight" show host Conan O'Brien for the first time among young viewers.

Friday night's "Late Show" was taped in advance on Thursday, meaning Letterman won't be taping an episode after his revelation until at least Monday. But Friday's show did include a moment – coincidental in retrospect – when guest Larry David unwittingly suggested that he beat Letterman's record of having the fewest number of dates for someone with a TV show.

"Oh, I don't know," replied Letterman, grinning knowingly.

Halderman's connection to Letterman was not immediately clear, but public records show that until August, he lived in Norwalk, Conn., with Stephanie Birkitt, a 34-year-old woman who works on the "Late Show" staff and used to work at "48 Hours."

Birkitt was an assistant to Letterman on the "Late Show" and frequently appeared on camera with the host in comedy bits. Last month, Birkitt moved to Manhattan. There was no answer Friday at a phone listed in her name.

Halderman wouldn't speak to reporters at his house Saturday morning and threatened to call police if they didn't leave the private road that leads to his modest three-bedroom house.

It was unclear how many women were involved with Letterman, 62, who married longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko in March. The couple began dating in 1986 and have a son, Harry, born in November 2003.

All the affairs took place before Letterman's marriage, said Tom Keaney, spokesman for Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants. Keaney also said Letterman "is not in violation" of the company's harassment policy "and no one has ever raised a complaint against him."

CBS issued a statement Friday: "We think it was appropriate for Dave to disclose the matter publicly as he has, and we are continuing to cooperate with authorities."

CBS would not address questions about whether Letterman faced any disciplinary actions for relationships with subordinates.

Halderman gave the talk show host a package of materials that "contained clear, explicit and actual threats that indicate this defendant ... (wanted to) destroy the reputation of Mr. Letterman and to submit him and his family to humiliation and ridicule," Assistant District Attorney Judy Salwen said in court.

Halderman, hands cuffed behind his back, stared at the floor during most of Friday's court hearing and said only "not guilty."

His lawyer, Gerald Shargel, said Halderman worked at CBS for 27 years and had no prior criminal record. He described him as an involved father who coached soccer, baseball and football and has two children, ages 11 and 18.

"This story is far more complicated than what you heard this afternoon," Shargel said outside court, but he would not elaborate.

Halderman allegedly left an envelope in Letterman's car early Sept. 9. According to authorities, he wrote that he needed money and said Letterman's world would "collapse around him" if damaging information about him were made public.

Letterman acknowledged that the letter contained proof that the late-night host had sexual relationships with members of his staff.

Three meetings between Letterman's lawyer and Halderman subsequently took place, the last two with the lawyer recording the conversations and prosecutors listening in, District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.

At the last meeting, on Wednesday, the lawyer gave Halderman a phony check for $2 million, Morgenthau said.

Halderman deposited the check Thursday and was arrested that day, he said.

It's the second set of embarrassing headlines for Letterman in four months. He apologized on the air earlier this summer for a crude joke involving Sarah Palin's family. But when the controversy continued to swirl, he came back after a weekend to offer a stronger mea culpa.

Letterman's contract with CBS runs through next August, though the network has been in negotiations to continue that through 2012.

Fallon asked Seth a series of questions about Josh and Josh a series of questions about Seth and saw if their answers matched up. They went 3 for 4, which is impressive, but not nearly as funny as learning the Meyers brothers' family secrets. Apparently, Seth is still on the outs with the family over an incident involving their pet rabbit.
