She is 72. And she looks terrific. ---

Saw it. Agree. Jimmy’s performance with her was pretty good, him doing Elvis, Blake Shelton, and Michael Buble stand-in for the duet medley. ---

Is Jimmy Fallon a comedian or a pop star? Because I swear to Og that like 80% of the clips that I see from his show involve him singing. If he wants to be a pop star, why the fuck doesn’t he just write some songs (or make royalty deals to do covers) and release an album? ---

My God he bugs the everliving shit outta me. Do not see his appeal. ---

I do not mind him so much, but egad, the over-the-top fawning was grating. Was the kowtowing and toadying written into her agreement to appear on the show? ---

If he wants to be a pop star, why the fuck doesn’t he just write some songs (or make royalty deals to do covers) and release an album? He’s a comedian, who likes to do impressions. He’s good at doing musical impressions, and he enjoys them. > [@Soul\_Brother\_Number\_Two](#): > > My God he bugs the everliving shit outta me. Do not see his appeal. A lot of his schtick gets old quick. I hate the go-to bits that get inserted all the time, the “monster cables”, the damned air saxophone. I FFW through that. Even the intro to Thank You notes where they talk about the expression on the keyboardist’s face - just shut up and do the thank you notes. > [@JKilez](#): > > I do not mind him so much, but egad, the over-the-top fawning was grating. Was the kowtowing and toadying written into her agreement to appear on the show? No, that’s just Jimmy being Jimmy.
