Highlights from the live Late Night special

Jimmy Fallon broadcast a live edition of Late Night last night as part of NBC’s Super Bowl evening lineup. Late Night With Jimmy Fallon aired a special Sunday night show live from this year’s Super Bowl host city Indianapolis.

The programme opened with a huge musical number featuring cheerleaders, The Roots and a whole host of wackiness.

Guests on the live show included fellow Saturday Night Live alumni Adam Sandler & Andy Samberg, and members of the New York Giants team – the Super Bowl 2012 champions.

Jimmy’s signature impressions also made an appearance, including parodies of the Real Housewives programme.

Watch clips of some of the best bits from the live show below:

Tiger Woods appearance on Late Night

Sporting legend Tiger Woods was interviewed on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last week. This was one of his first full interviews since his alleged sex scandals hit the newstands back in 2009.

Jimmy asked the professional golfer “It’s been a year and a half since you were on the show, what have you been up to?” to which Tiger replied “uh, nothing” followed by laughs from the audience.

Golf Digest said “in case you were wondering if Tiger Woods is capable of laughing at himself, an answer came Wednesday night”.

Jimmy thanked him for having “the courage to come on a late night comedy programme” and thanked him for being the butt of an endless number of jokes for the show over that period.

The first ever Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Last night saw the launch of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. This first ever edition had guests Robert DeNiro, Justin Timberlake and Van Morrison.

The show opened with a traditional monologue and was followed by a feature called “Slow Jam The News” where house band The Roots sing what’s happening in the news.

Jimmy’s interview with Justin Timberlake saw them re-inacting their Bee Gees impersonation from Fallon’s old Saturday Night Live days. Robert DeNiro was interviewed by Jimmy and also took part in a pre-recorded piece for spoof film “Space Train”.

The official Late Night website has posted up clips from the show (which surprisingly work if you’re outside the US);
