Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon talk in hashtags



      Justin Timberlake had fun with Jimmy Fallon on the Late Night show with a hilarious video about Twitter and Hashtags.

Few days ago, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon went back in childhood just the time of a skit where they were on a twitter camp. This time, the two boys who are really good friends decided to gently mock the social network Twitter. Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake started to speak about the famous Twitter's hashtags, which gives a wacky conversation, and makes us think about the dumb things that we wrote with the symbol of Twitter.


If you think about it, Twitter posts often sound ridiculous. So imagine what conversation spoken all in tweets would sound like. Pretty nonsensical.
Guys, Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, did it, they did an entire conversation in tweets and hashtag. (Ok, so basically, they used the more common hashtag as  #lolololol #lifedecision #purpleisanewblack  #iwantacookie.)

Twitter makes us, sound like idiots especially when you wrote the limited character restrictions, overuse of silly and often redundant hashtags and creative spelling.

The duo demonstrated just how absurd hashtags are (it’s really funny, you will see), by literally showing people's overuse of them using hand gestures. 
This is how we all sound like on Twitter, Facebook, or on Instagram.


Jimmy Fallon does a regular segment called "Late Night Hashtags" that draws on tweets from topics like #ParentFail and #FakeJayZLyrics, (I’ll write something about it soon) and his familiarity with the genre makes for a realistic conversation that blends elements of teen tweeting with mommy Facebooking.




Oh wait, for those who don’t know what the hashtags are words or a phrase prefixed with the symbol #. For those who don’t know tweeter, well I can’t do anything for you today.






Here is the video!

"I like to see people laugh" ~> Jimmy Fallon



Well, for those who don’t know Jimmy Fallon, here is your chance to extend your "Late Night Talk-Shows" culture!

Ok, sure he is famous here in the USA and not that much in France; I think I can even say that nobody knows him over there. But now, you gonna have answers to your questions. (Yes, you will have a new conversation subject during your fancy dinners! Thanks to whom??)


Basically, what you have to know is that Jimmy Fallon hosts one of the most watched late night talk-show here (His show airs at the same time as Craig Ferguson, but I will explain to you later, who is this crazy Craig Ferguson, please be patient… hahaa)

First of all, you have to know that Jimmy Fallon has different skills, in fact he is a comedian, actor, singer, musician and of course a television host. In his show, you can see him singing with Justin Timberlake or even create some good rhythms with some good singers!



Moreover, you have to know that he will replace Jay Leno (Another famous host here, well don't worry you will know about all of them soon…) as the host of The Tonight Show, who airs just before his current show. But it won't be before 2014. (So you have, the time to figure out, who are those people!)

Fallon was at the beginning a stand-up comedian in some comedy clubs. Then, he ended up in the Saturday Night Live (another famous show here). Then, he got his own talk-show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon who started in 2009.


Also, he did a performance that I love, for the opening of the Emmy Award in 2010, you can see it in the video right there! It was kind of a parody of Glee (The TV Show) and that was really dynamic and funny. This performance really represents what he knows the best: ENTERTAINING PEOPLE!



Now, you know a little bit more about him and his career. You can't deny that you never heard about him because if it’s the case, I’ll find you and make you read this article.

Take Care,

Why Late Night Talk-Shows?

First of all, WELCOME!!

The first time, I discovered Talks Shows was five years ago, when I came for the first time here in America! At this time, I was only fifteen and I wasn’t speaking English and I knew much less write English. I stayed a month with an amazing American family. One night, I turned on the TV and I started to watch The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. What A Show!!! I thought, it was unbelievable to have this kind of show at this hour (Yes, it was really late!).



I have to say, in France (yes, it’s my real country) we don’t have this kind of show. It would be great to have some daily talk shows, I mean even a talk show will be great! We don’t have anything like that over there! (And it's too bad).

Anyway, I started to watch Craig Ferguson, then David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and of course one of my favorite Jimmy Fallon! Yes, I said it, Fallon is my favorite! (He is so funny!), and if you don’t like him, you should stop to read this blog because there are going to be a lot of articles written about his show.


Late-Night talk shows have been created to entertain people late at night, but the thing that I like the most in those shows, it’s how they arrive to ask crazy and funny questions to their guests! (It always seems that the guests have fun and they are happy to be there! I challenge you to find an happy guest in France). In some shows, they're playing crazy games! (Again, if you find this in France, call me!). I mean you will never see a guest playing water war like on Jimmy Fallon’s show or the President singing! (Fallon's show again)  As I said before, I’m a huge fan of his show!



Oooh, and the monologues are, one of my favorite parts in those shows, I really like Craig Ferguson’s monologue! You should watch him, he is really funny too! (He has a talking robot! How crazy is that?!)


That is to say, this blog is for Late Night-Talk Show lovers, so enjoy!!
