Late Night with Jimmy Fallon may be coming to an end, but it's just the beginning for the March Men's Health cover model. This Emmy award-winning singer, actor, and comedian is taking over The Tonight Show starting on February 17th in NYC and, hopefully, bringing some of our favorite parodies with him. Here, our top 10 moments from his last 5 years at Late Night.
Download the March 2014 issue of Men's Health today! It's packed with tons of useful stuff including our exclusive interview with cover guy Jimmy Fallon and the all-new Spartacus workout.
10. Slow Jamming the News
Returning to his journalistic roots--it's been ten years since he co-hosted SNL's "Weekend Update" with Tina Fey--Fallon slow jammed the news for us on Late Night episodes. His most notable guest? Rocking out with President Barack Obama about student loans.
9. Classroom Instruments
Grammy award-winning band The Roots ditched their high-tech musical equipment for children's instruments to perform with superstars like Mariah Carey and Robin Thicke on Fallon's set. Our guilty pleasure is this 2012 anthem by one of the 100 Hottest Women, Carly Rae Jepsen.
8. Epic Lip Sync Battle
Guests Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Stephen Merchant joined Jimmy in an epic lip sync battle that has over ten million views on YouTube, and counting. Three performers. Six songs. The winner? You'll just have to decide for yourself.
7. '90s Nostalgic Reunions
The Jesse and the Rippers reunion was complete with a medley of their greatest hits including "Forever" and the theme song to Full House. With a cameo by Bob Saget (Danny Tanner) and Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky), it's almost perfect--no Olsen twins were to be found though.
6. Digital Originals
Late Night's digital original parodies of TV shows from "Joking Bad" and "Downton Sixbey" were well-produced and polished, not to mention hilarious. "Game of Desks" went behind the scenes of Late Night and tops our list of digital originals.
5. #LateNight Hashtags
Covering topics like #AwkwardDate, #PolarVortexSongs, and #DadQuotes, Jimmy's Twitter callouts became worldwide trending topics. Our favorite: #MyWeirdGymStory. Because who doesn't have an awkward story to share.
4. # Hashtag With Justin Timberlake
Fallon and Justin Timberlake mocked the infiltration of hashtags and made us all realize how stupid we sound when we use the pound sign when speaking. Really, #enoughwiththehashtags already.
3. Brian Williams Raps
Watching mash-ups of straight-laced NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams "rap" Marky Mark, Snoop Dogg, or Warren G is genius, and never gets old. Ever.
2. Musical Impersonations
Jimmy Fallon is the king of impressions, and did a killer Neil Young singing "Double Rainbow", Bob Dylan singing "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", and The Doors singing the "Reading Rainbow" theme. His most recent Bruce Springsteen singing "Gov. Christie Traffic Jam" with a cameo by The Boss himself takes the cake.
1. History of Rap
The all-time greatest skit on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon is hands-down "The History of Rap" w ith Justin Timberlake. They're up to part four, and we hope there's more to come on The Tonight Show.
