From Colbert to Conan, Letterman to Leno, and Fallon to Ferguson, the universe of late-night comedians is a diverse one. Which is exactly why we’ve been a little stumped while putting together our upcoming Comedy Issue. Who’s the funniest of them all? Well, it depends on who you ask.

So what’s why we’re turning to you. Instead of us choosing who we think is the funniest, we thought we’d throw the question over to you, our always-wise PopWatch readers: Who’s the funniest late-night comedian?

Matthew Morrison to Jonah Hill: 'Nobody messes with someone from musical theater!'

Matthew Morrison has a message for Jonah Hill, who belittled and challenged Glee‘s Mr. Schue last week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and it goes a little something like this: “I know Sue Sylvester, Sue Sylvester is a friend of mine. Jonah Hill, you’re no Sue Sylvester.”

Last night, Morrison sent Fallon a video response, answering Hill’s challenge with, “Nobody messes with someone from musical theater!” Watch below. READ FULL STORY »

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon become six-month mortal enemies. So who's Colbert's new BFF?

Sept. 3rd marked a momentous occasion for Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon: The end of their six-month BFF courtship. Only problem is, both men forgot the date, as they are both terrible at counting on their fingers and keeping track of the months. The two figured it out when Fallon dropped by The Colbert Report Thursday night to bring his temporary friend his favorite tea (Jasmine Pomegranate Zinger!) and take a trip down memory lane (through their Pensieve!). After re-living all the fun (tandem bike riding, slumber parties, killing finding a drifter), Colbert and Fallon soon realized they’d already surpassed their friendship expiration date. (“I just realized I haven’t liked you for twelve days,” Colbert says.) In addition to already being Emmy rivals on Sunday, they would now have to be eternal enemies… for six months. Thankfully, someone special in the audience volunteered to be Colbert’s new BFF. Let’s just say it’s another person with a penchant for giggling. Watch the full, hilarious clip: READ FULL STORY »

Who was the best Emmys host of all time? Conan? Ellen? Carson? NPH?

While we have all the confidence in the world that Jane Lynch will do a stellar job hosting the Emmys this Sunday, there’s no question that the Glee star has some tough acts to follow. Just last year, Jimmy Fallon knocked it out of the park early with his Springsteen-inspired, cameo-heavy (Jon Hamm! Betty White!… Kate Gosselin?) musical number, while Neil Patrick Harris — who had his own musical number — did what he does best in 2009, emceeing the evening with his usual poise and charm. (Just as he did the Tonys!)

But were they the best hosts ever? READ FULL STORY »

Denis Leary spoils the 'Rescue Me' series finale?

Tonight, Rescue Me airs its series finale, and Denis Leary dropped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday and explained how easy it is to get what happens to his character out of him. He wasn’t lying. Or was he? We know from the promo there will be a funeral scene, which — SPOILER ALERT — Leary said was the final scene they shot and “I was off camera that day… Ooh, could be a clue.”

Leary is a deliciously dark guy, but do we really think Tommy will die? I think Leary was simply setting the scene for his story about fighting back tears on the set, which led to an enjoyable conversation with Fallon about moments that made them misty-eyed: Fallon cried when he proposed to his wife, while Leary wept at Field of Dreams, Brian’s Song, and E.T. (in front of five of his guy friends).  READ FULL STORY »

Jimmy Fallon predicts future stardom, 2011 'SNL' host gig all the way from 1998

In a Dec., 1998 Saturday Night Live episode hosted by a floppy-haired (yet very gelled… ah, the ’90s) Alec Baldwin, a 24-year-old Jimmy Fallon appeared as the “Ghost of Hosts Future” and predicted his own hosting gig come December 12, 2011. WHOA! Fallon really is hosting SNL this December. Jimmy Fallon is psychic!

Then again the 12th is a Monday, so I guess that means Jimmy Fallon is a psychic liar. READ FULL STORY »

Jimmy Fallon and Jason Bateman rejigger 'Teen Wolf Too'

When Jason Bateman starred in his first movie, Teen Wolf Too, he was but a fresh-faced young whippersnapper making his move from the small screen to feature films. Since then, he’s gone on to garner critical and popular acclaim in Arrested Development, Juno, and State of Play, to name a few. On last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, though, Bateman admitted he’d had some career lowlights — Teen Wolf Too among them. Fallon decided to give Bateman a do-over for one scene from the 1987 film. See the full clip after the jump.

Ryan Gosling: Tell me, Jimmy, have you even been in a Turkish bath?

Ryan Gosling continues his talk show tour for Crazy, Stupid, Love, and last night’s visit with Jimmy Fallon was another memorable stop. He brought his “muppet” dog George (who insists on having a Mohawk; when the hair starts to grow out George becomes a jerk, Gosling insists) and recounted a visit to a Turkish bath in his new home, New York City. Watch it below. In short: It was a painful experience that resulted in Gosling licking his masseuse’s belly after it went in his mouth (“Don’t judge me, but you know how when you eat something weird your brain sends your tongue to investigate?” he asked) and a lot of tipping.

In the second clip, Gosling attempts to explain his new movie. READ FULL STORY »
