Forgive me, but who is the host? I'm hoping he was a guest host, because he seemed very uncomfortable and incredibly unfunny. Is that his schtik? Or is it just another reminder how far out of the "demo" I am, nowadays?
I loved the premise of the sketch, and I'm grateful for the exposure to mainstream audiences, but that was painful to watch because of the host.
It's Jimmy Fallon, or as I like to think of him, "the dude who ran onto the field the moment the Red Sox clinched their first World Championship since 1918 to be filmed kissing Drew Barrymore for a stupid movie no one would see."
I like to think of Jimmy Fallon as the guy who giggled his way through about four years of performances on Saturday Night Live, while never appearing to be doing anything remotely funny. I'm not really sure why he got his own talk show, while Horatio Sanz had the same SNL history and is now probably cooking waffles and sausages at an IHOP.

Not only that, but Dario's milk bottle was a special one that cost $3.4 million to engineer and perfect in a wind tunnel.
It's Jimmy Fallon, or as I like to think of him, "the dude who ran onto the field the moment the Red Sox clinched their first World Championship since 1918 to be filmed kissing Drew Barrymore for a stupid movie no one would see."

I like Jimmy Fallon.
That was terrible, media exposure is great but c'mon. "So how do taxi drivers compare with you guys?"....*bangs head on desk*
