I like it when he plays Charades and Pictionary with the guests.

lip sync battles. The fact he gets these people to prepare for something like that amazes me.

Kudos to Fallon for doing so well with his gig. There was such an outpouring of hate and anticipated failure that it's kind of cool to see him succeed.

Since the poll allowed more than one vote I went with Tight Pants and History of Rap.

Strong agreement. He had a core following from his late night gig, but I think it's safe to say he's been a pleasant surprise. I never watched him on a regular basis prior to TTS, but now try to tune in a few nights a week for a laugh before bed.

I like the lip synch battles the most (the one with JGL was the best imo) but History of Rap is good too... Another solid bit is when artists get together with the Roots and Fallon and play their hits with the school instruments.

I'm partial to "EWWW". The committement he gives to the character just cracks me up.

"Ewww...it's my stepdahd Garahhhh...."

Lip sync battles is great. IMO, Emma Stone OWNS it so far!

Ewww, is the worst. It's like watching a terrible SNL skit from the early 2000s. Why the audience eats it up is beyond me.

"Thank You Notes" is also great. It just seems like it's way too short when he does it. And it's a pet peeve of mine to see him lick the envelope and the not stick the card in.

I also enjoy his "hashtags" bit. People write in some pretty funny stuff.

Me too! But it would take a few more seconds to shove the card in the envelope I guess. What is the deal at the beginning with the keyboard player? Is the joke that they are trying to crack him up?

Does him opening the show as Neil Young count?

I haven't watched much, but is there a term for those things that are supposed to be clips from the past, but they're quickly getting into and out of costume?

For example:
