I think I’ve been (To quote Eddie Izzard) “Living in a cave, like you doooo”. Why? Because up until recently, VERY recently in fact, I am ashamed to admit that I had no idea who Jimmy Fallon even was. I’m sure somewhere my guy friends, and Taylor Blue are cringing, because they all know who he is, and are adoring fans. Now, Jimmy please understand, as soon as I found out that I was living in a cave, and under a rock, I started doing my research, which is why Jimmy Fallon gets my heart warming, selfless, celebrity of the day post.
For those of you that may not know who he is (and *Gasp* how could you not!) He has been on SNL,he hosts Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and has been in Fever Pitch. He’s also a comedian (of course), actor (duh huh), and a musician. Yes, he is. He plays the guitar but will apparently only sing within the protected solace of his car, because to sing elsewhere could scar the general public. Oh come on, Jimmy it can’t be THAT bad, can it? But juuuust to be safe, think you may ought to actually sound proof that car? *wink*
Regardless of my lack of knowledge prior to this post, I really do have a lot of respect for the causes he supports, and found one of his quotes that I fell in love with.
” I didn’t act like I was there. I just got into the story.”
As he gets into his stories, he also gets into giving back. Proving that even as a comedian, he takes charity to heart.
The organizations he supports, starts with ALAFA – Apparel Lesotho Alliance to Fight AIDS. He also donates to FOOD BANK FOR NYC – The city’s major hunger-relief organization. Working to end food poverty and increase access to affordable, nutritious food for low-income New Yorkers. He also helps out with ROBIN HOOD – Targets poverty in New York City by finding and funding the most effective programs and partnering with them to maximize results. Last, but certainly not least, he also shows his support to STAND UP TO CANCER -Stand Up To Cancer is a non-profit organization/website/TV show that aims to raise money for cancer researchers and scientists to come together and reach their common goal: the cure for cancer.
I may not have known who he was before, but I am very aware of who he is now. He may be a celebrity who walks red carpets, and entertains thousands, but he’s also a very giving human being who brings positivity, and extends a hand to those in need. Jimmy Fallon, Comedian, Actor, Musician, Self proclaimed atrocious singer, but definitely a selfless humanitarian.
I am obsessed with television. I’m really sorry. It kind of goes with the territory though when I love to focus on television shows. The networks have released most of the yes’ and no’s for the 2009-2010 season. (I’m still holding out for Chuck!)
I decided I would pick some of my favorites from each network and tell you if they have been renewed or not (Or could be renewed or canceled). And if you find a puddle of water at the bottom of the post don’t mind it. It’s just because I’ve cried over my canceled shows. (This year though I think the only one that I watch that is in jeopardy is Chuck.)

Kenneth Parcell of 30 Rock has a weakness for bubble wrap (and why shouldn’t he?)! My favorite part may be that he feels so guilty and tries to be stealthy that in order to get over by the bubble wrap he makes a paper airplane and throws it over there so he has to retrieve it. But Kenneth, don’t worry – no one can resist bubble wrap! It’s scientifically proven that the stuff wants to be popped! At least in my head, it has. It’s sinful not to, in fact. The devilish stuff fools around with your brain and sense of morales.
Fear not, Kenneth. You are of good stock! Of course…in this case the bubble wrap seems to be akin to catnip for you… (You’ve lost friends to snorkling, really?) BTW, blaming gypsies is the oldest trick in the book. My grandparents used to scare me about them coming inside if I didn’t lock the door! And they totally only came in when I left the light on with a note saying I had cookies inside!
In this segment, Kenneth impersonates people! Like Liz! “Okay writers, let’s do writing!” Lmao. That kills me. He also impersonates Jack and Tracy with odd professionalism. I love the way Lutz fools Kenneth.
Tracy Jordan of TGS has new answers for us in his ‘Dear Tracy Jordan’ segment! He talks about: Thoughts on apples (No fruit racisim is allowed – that is wise!), Jellybean fantasies &Â Swallowing spiders. It’s a short little vid that reminds you to smile, even though it’s Monday.
There is also a new ‘Kenneth the Web Page’ installment. See how Kenneth Parcell always gets what he wants using his very sneaky methods! (Although, the banana he ends up getting looks rather green, I don’t know that I’d want it.)
Kenneth Parcell has a new check list for ‘Kenneth the Web Page‘! Watch to, “Find out what really goes on in Kenneth’s head.” He calls himself a hayseed…lmao. You just don’t hear that phrase very often, do you? (Oh, I love Kenneth.) And Kenneth wants a certain someone to be comfortable in ‘the greenest of rooms’. More than anything, Kenneth wants to know WWBD – What Would Brenda Do? Well. She’d probably slap him… Ah!
I rated this five stars because golly, he deserves it! 30 Rock is on NBC Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EST.
If you have a lackluster desktop on your computer why don’t you consider using one of the 30 rock desktop backgrounds? No freaking out – there are different screen sizes available for different computers. Who knew that ’semen del toro’ could be so fun?
I hope you guys have a Happy Valentine’s Day, and get some of those chocolate-covered strawberries because Mmm, those are good. Get me some too, eh? And Taylor. We need them. We’ve been good gals all year! Oh, is that a different holiday? Well, psh! Fine, we’ve been very naughty and we don’t care! We’ll STEAL the strawberries!
