Jimmy Fallon at UCF

Anne-Marie and I just got back from a great show by Jimmy Fallon at the UCF arena. Tickets were free thanks to the Campus Activities Board. We had excellent seats on the floor. The warm-up act was Matt Kirshen, a finalist from season 5 of Last Comic Standing. He was quite funny, particularly when showing his American audience their image as seen through the eyes of a Brit. (We are, apparently, a polite people, except when we don’t get our way.) Fallon was impressive. He moved between impersonations, comedic retooling of pop songs, and funny anecdotes with amazing speed and talent. We had a great time. This clip captures the tone of some of his musical interludes, but the medley we saw was about green songs (Snoop Dogg singing about his ethanol-burning car, for example).
