Mindy Kaling showed up on The Office series finale last night and stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, but there was a different TV show altogether that was on her mind: Game of Thrones. Apparently Mindy is a pret-ty big fan of Jaime Lannister and gushed to Jimmy about her huge crush on the character. The best part is that Jimmy was able to pass on the result to Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime on the show, and the result is pretty priceless.

Bradley Cooper dressed up in a suit for a visit to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon yesterday in NYC. While promoting the finale of his Hangover trilogy, The Hangover Part III, which hits theaters next Thursday, May 23, Bradley also got into a competitive game of what host Jimmy branded "faceketball." He strapped a mini basketball hoop to his head and geared up for the challenge by shedding his jacket and telling Jimmy to do the same, saying, "Jackets off, bro!" He also spoke about his Oscar nomination as well as former and current costar Jennifer Lawrence during the stop. "She's the best and we're doing a movie right now and she plays a sick character, I mean sick like from the Bronx, and she just kills it."
It was a busy start to the week for Bradley, who engaged in a bit of charitable bidding that same day. Bradley attended Leonardo DiCaprio's Christie's art auction, which benefited Leo's foundation supporting environmental protection and conservation efforts. He wasn't the only star in attendance as he was joined by Tobey Maguire, Salma Hayek, and Mark Ruffalo for the auction.
Seth Meyers had already been rumored to be next in line for the Late Night throne, and over the weekend, it was officially confirmed. Meyers will be replacing host Jimmy Fallon once Fallon takes over The Tonight Show in February 2014. Both veterans of Saturday Night Live, Meyers and Fallon have a similar background, having both served as anchors of the show's "news" segment, Weekend Update.
I've been a fan of Meyers for a while, and I think it's a terrific move on NBC's part. He's pretty well-known, and he's been SNL's head writer for eight seasons, meaning he already knows how to write for late-night television. Do you think it's a brilliant idea, or were you hoping for someone else?
If you thought Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake's "History of Rap" skits were good, then you're gonna love Fallon's lip-sync-off with John Krasinski. Last night, The Office's very own Jim Halpert brought out the big guns, doing some seriously impassioned lip-syncing and dancing to the tune of "Teenage Dream" and more. Fallon provided some pretty solid competition, but it was all over when Krasinski took on "I'll Make Love to You" — complete with a little bit of stripping. It's over eight minutes long, but it's also probably the best thing you'll see all day.

Tom Cruise may be one of the biggest movie stars in the world, but he's always down for a game on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Cruise has already played water war on the show, so this time Fallon upped the ante with a friendly round of egg roulette. The challenge? Pick an egg at random from a carton — it may be hard-boiled, it may be raw — and smash it against your head. I love this clip because Cruise was such a good sport and you can tell Fallon loves his job. It just makes me more excited for Fallon's impending gig on The Tonight Show!

The Jonas Brothers met their match last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The boys stopped by to promote their new album, and the teen heartthrobs got a surprise visit from Sara, aka Fallon's teenage girl character. You may remember Sara from Fallon and Channing Tatum's "Ew" skit last year, but here she goes into full crazy mode, panicking when the Jonas Brothers sign their autographs wrong and requesting a kiss as an apology. It's totally ew-worthy.

After weeks of speculation that Jimmy Fallon would be taking the reins from Jay Leno (and the hosts themselves singing about the matter), NBC has officially announced that Fallon will take over The Tonight Show. We're hoping that one staple of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon comes with the host: the skits! Fallon's many memorable sketches are one of our favorite things about his show, so in celebration of the news, we're sharing our favorite skits from his Late Night run.
NBC has confirmed what we all knew was coming: Jimmy Fallon will replace Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show in the Spring of 2014. Leno will be passing the torch after 22 years, and while Fallon's replacement is still to be determined, it's been rumored that Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers could take over. Though it seems like just yesterday that Fallon started his tenure as a late-night host, I'm a huge fan of the work he's done on Late Night, so I can't wait to see him in his new, well-deserved time slot — just as long as he keeps those hilarious skits and musical numbers coming.
For the past few weeks, the world has been buzzing about whether Jimmy Fallon is poised to take over The Tonight Show when Leno's contract is up at the end of 2014. But how do the actual hosts feel about all the controversy? Last night, during the transition between The Tonight Show and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the guys belted out (OK, so it wasn't actually their voices) a duet expressing their feelings to the tune of "Tonight" from West Side Story. Of course, the result is hilarity.
So this is what happens when you get Jimmy Fallon, Nick Offerman, and Blake Shelton together right before Easter. This week the trio (plus show editor Chris Tartaro on the drums) landed on the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon stage clad in yellow feathers and bawking to the tune of The Lumineers' hit song, "Ho Hey." Their stage name? The Chickeneers, naturally. I know it sounds silly, and it is, but it's also a wonderful and oddly sweet pick-me-up. I wonder if they're available for birthday parties.
