Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

[Viator]

Fallon stagnated a bit from the lack of political mention, as it was seen by the show's ratings slightly dropping for a period of time.

I am not surprised to see it. Would I want it? No, but; there are a lot of late night host's taking advantage of the screw up that Trump is and is using it to their advantage, as Fallon is using now.

Yea I don't mind him doing the political comedy. He just shouldn't be dragging universal into it. There has to be SOME PLACE LEFT to escape politics.

Considering how easy it is in any place; to just look up from your mobile device to see news nowadays; it doesn't surprise me.

That said, it is out of topic of Race Through New York, and that there should be a separate thread dedicated to The Tonight Show itself. Not the Orlando tour, but the entire thing itself (or, a dedicated "Late Night TV" thread all to it's own.

And CBS is taking victory laps now too, with commercials stating that the Late Show is #1 in Late Night.

Blake Shelton & Jimmy going on the ride was hilarious.

I laughed at Blake's crack about the 3d glasses. "Clearly they wouldn't give you a real ride, so we're going to look at a movie screen."

 

[Joel]

Wow. This actually really grinds my gears. The parks are not a place to drag his political comedy into. Completely inappropriate. (Not saying that cause I like Trump, cause I don't ) but portraying Universal as being one sided politically is a very, very bad message.

That was the most even tempered thing they could've done, took a swing at both sides without taking an actual political stance (like announcing their views on immigration, or climate change, etc.). I like it, and as a Jimmy Fallon (as the Tonight show host) hater, it makes me hate him just a bit less.

Man, this week sounds like a fun week to be at the parks.
Edit: The Rock was also there today

Are we sure this doesn't belong in the "use of Screenz" thread?

I enjoy Blake Shelton's perspective on things. We should get him a spot in Creative!

He speaks to me. "This is what you worked 3 and half years on?"

In the end, Blake seemed to enjoy the ride. It is just his character to belittle everything he can put his finger on with certain people. It can be funny at times.

Yes, he has that dry sense of humor every time I've seen him appear. I loved how he pitched the bag of Fallon merchandise in the garbage as he walked out. Good scripting.....Yes, he genuinely seemed to really enjoy the ride.

Agreed, when Blake is on is one of the few times I watch Fallon. He is always giving him crap, and I cannot agree with him more on "how did you get famous?", and I believe most of what he says....is the truth. The liking the ride could be truth, or he actually didn't and his PR person told him to not trash it for obvious reasons.

My guess is that they loosely scripted the exchange on the Fallon queue, ride and store. I don't think that was entirely unscripted like the show exchanges probably are.

The opening shots of this video is from that new balcony on the Fallon building. It's a better view of Music Plaza than I thought it would be (at least from that section of it).

That kind of interaction is what I like about Jimmy Fallon. He's not kidding his guests ass cheek, he's being a normal person. If he did that more often I would definitely watch him. Also I love Blake Shelton (not for his music, just a hilarious dude), I wouldn't mind partying with him.

Also, so jealous of everyone at the park, when is the next time we're going to see this level of activity/energy around the studios (if at all)?

Probably next year or so when Fallon returns. I'm guessing he's getting addicted to doing the show here.
