[@dougbreese2238]

2:52 It's actually "GREAT Train Wrecks of Eastern Pennsylvania" which is much funnier... implies that they sifted out the duds before writing... in other news, I don't have much going on in my life...

[@BetweenTheLyons]

His "Do Not Read" Lists are my favorite bit. Maybe because he only does one or two a year so there aren't a million of them.

[@childofpersia1213]

That hotdog throwing bit was hilarious 🤣 3:40

[@greenrobot5]

cringy

[@guyincognito5663]

greenrobot5, YOU are cringy! :’(

[@Winteramen]

I saw your comment and was expecting something. Was still surprised

[@thenerdwithoutfear8378]

"100 Games for one Player" - 9. Listening;First Sentence: "This Comes under EYE GAMES because you use your EARS." - what?!?! :D

[@Jed-i]

The Nerd without fear lol totally saw that and was like 'huh????'

[@katiemcleod1760]

I paused it and read the whole page--"Try when walking along, to simply LISTEN. You will become bemused with surprise at the number of noises you have never noticed {...} But don't try it on a main road." XD

[@Winteramen]

Ngl, being a modern day person, I don't remember walking around the world, alone, and not listening to music. It might be an interesting thing to try...

[@misseli1]

"100 games for one player" sounds like an introvert's or anti-social's dream come true

[@JJ-Malone]

"100 games for one player"....I'd still come 2nd!

[@bonglungs4365]

haha now that's sad. 1+

[@taylorgoetz7604]

-1 eh? lol

[@jerilynnbrooks2414]

there's a book at target called All My Friends Are Dead.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Jeri Lynn Brooks you should film it and post it 😂

[@BabyPinkMonsoon]

I wonder if Train Wrecks of Eastern Pennsylvania was written before or after my birth.

[@ericbrown1101]

Is it bad that I would totally buy that book?

[@viksaggu9085]

I have so many questions about your trains!!

[@pruray]

Isn't the movie unstoppable based on a true story in Pennsylvania?

[@GTanya07]

"100 games for one player" LOL it's just sad 😂😂😂

[@bonglungs4365]

if i could go back in time i would go back and give that book to myself..

[@lydialestage9640]

Perfect for and only child lol

[@thebitchisback2392]

Tanya Sparrow Being an introvert I would love that book. I get bored sometimes and need new things to entertain me.

[@GTanya07]

The bitch is back ! thank God we have gadgets now

[@LordAaronus]

Obvs one game is to write stories for that cookbook

[@dunbar9finger]

Try freeze framing at 1:38 and actually read the start of the Listening game: "This comes under Eye Games because you use your ears. That's Logic".

[@iamthatis3587]

The hotdog catch xD I had to watch it multiple times. This is why i believe gallon has the best late night show: RANDOM SKITS

[@JxT1957]

when i saw this i went on ebay and found that same hot dog cook book and bought it. $5 used

[@Liberanimus]

Lentil soup with hot dogs is actually quite good.

[@terriebiggs1983]

I had submitted this because before Christmas I offered the gift of all my books on free on Kindle. In my haste to update them, I mistakenly uploaded the contents of "Culinary Delights" to "Some Trails Never End" which was downloaded worldwide. I was humiliated but decided to have some fun with it, so I sent that goof to the "do not read list" to Jimmy. I guess any press is good press, so thank you for the national exposure.

[@noahwright8109]

I just imagine the kid playing one of the games, and being like "Look how much fun I'm having!" *Laughs slowly turn into cries*

[@irynakalychak6821]

The trick at the end was the most impressive.

[@gladnox]

"100 games for one player" or as I call it "Games for Introverts"

[@flyslyw]

LMAO @ "Listening"

[@michellemabelle8298]

This book isn't that sad, lets look at one of the games LISTENING😭💀

[@rustydaranger]

The word of wisdom was, don't own a buffalo farm unless you're prepared to be trampled

[@cecilia7259]

thanks for the explanation

[@TsukiNaito1]

Great, now I really want a hot dog.

[@olapopawska8456]

Haha I actually liked playing alone when I was a kid, so could use that book :D

[@ceci8947]

YO I LIVE IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 😂 I feel so proud

[@cassandraheffernan1898]

Love this haha i need that racoon book in my life :) :)

[@kingdavey90]

cassandra heffernan , it'd probably help me with my pet Possum.

[@whocares6698]

Could have used that 100 games book when I was a kid , I got by with playing monopoly and clue by myself

[@michellegulden1052]

The child on the front of '100 games for one player' looks like Jeff Cohen.

[@oscarnunez9025]

He's finger looks so funny 😂

[@kelvin2kgaming179]

1:14 I definitely need this

[@fowmoufpunk]

You mean Train Wrecks of Eastern Pennsylvania isn't the life story of Jerry Sandusky?

[@professorswaggamuffin7572]

I think we should have more racoons as pets. And I could use 100 games for 1 player because I only can think of solitaire.

[@henrold__]

Anyone notice that when they show the listening page for "100 games for one player" the page says, "This one falls under 'Eye Games' because you use your ears."

[@LoLo-654]

The kid who plays 100 games alone will have a drink with raccoons when he grows up

[@readingnomad7045]

I'll take the book about Glass collecting. I thought it looked kinda cool.

[@stephenstrang590]

Listening should be taught to be honest.

[@viksaggu9085]

Stephen Strang it’s not a game though!!

[@kevinfromsales6842]

grilled cheese with hotdogs is so damn good.

[@picklepoe4480]

Yum a grilled cheese w hot dogs... That actually sounds good!

[@bigtimetorifan]

What the ??!! How the heck Higgins catch that dog in his mouth??!

[@dcmslife3772]

I'm wondering the exact same thing.

[@DavidM-um2uk]

They reversed the video for that gag

[@guepardiez]

@@DavidM-um2uk So then the question becomes how did they take the hotdog out of his mouth in a way that made it go upwards.

[@Riconnaissance]

03:36 change to playback speed X2. Repeat and repeat and repeat and....lol

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

100 Games for 1 Player went to #1 with single people during the 2020 quarantine

[@tonywrestles2]

I don't know if I adore hot dogs, but there have been times when I've been jonesing for one so badly I'd almost literally kill for one.

[@Aj-rj1wy]

Poor Joanne 😂

[@imaginarymask]

I just saw that raccoon book Monday at goodwill

[@TheCoppoy]

Was waiting for CAPTCHA joke

[@VoyageOne1]

100 games for one player - listening 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lionasquires3014]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@simplytierresistable]

I HATE hot dogs. Like, I'd rather eat a bug than a hot dog... and part of that comes from my mom putting chopped up hot dog in my mac and cheese. It's soooo wrong!! blech.

[@Maria-ff8jx]

The lady on raccoon family pets looks like a blonde Kim K

[@Taylor-vy2gg]

Wow, hotdog editing skills on point #theCarrotFromMatildatheMovie

[@devincherry6891]

I bet that train wrecks book is off the rails...

[@sashrill]

how is listening a game for one player....isnt that just eavesdropping.....

[@33MarciS]

Pause the video at 1:36. You can tell it's an old book, but the next to the last paragraph is great. 😂 I never liked this game. My teachers tried to get me to play it all the time. I always lost.

[@dsma06]

100 games to play with your hot dog?

[@khurleybirdie]

Marina was definitely the one that suggested the raccoon family pets

[@Erin-rb1ti]

Just so you know-- that story about Joanne Price is true. Please don't laugh about what happened to her. She was an amazing woman and piano teacher- and was my piano teacher for several years. I spent lots of time at her house gardening and visiting with her. She was trampled by a buffalo but she survived that very well. I visited her in the hospital after that happened. She passed away just a couple years ago. She was a phenomenal woman, teacher, pianist, and friend. Rest in peace.

[@EroSennin404]

Erin Stauffer I really don't know why...but...I read this in Morgan Freeman's voice...and...my condolences...

[@Erin-rb1ti]

Thank you Ero- I appreciate that. Morgan Freeman's voice is amazing! I know Jimmy was just trying to be funny- but I don't like laughing at someone suffering. Normally I love all of his videos.

[@reannameridith2741]

if it makes you feel better, I'm a hardcore fallon fan.......but that was a terrible joke. it's just the wording on on the page. Starts off light..... and goes straight to injury without much of the story.... but still, it's in bad taste. furthermore, I usually LOVE the "do not" videos but, sincerely, THIS one was all 'round LAME. I'm sure she was a nice lady😇😆

[@Erin-rb1ti]

Reanna Meridith totally! i am with you there. normally love all his videos.. this one just seemed a bit off. just weird that i knew the lady that he talks about!

[@eatprayloveify]

I don't get the impression he was making fun of what happened to her but the fact that the author of the cook book included that side note. It is kind of strange and personal detail to include.

[@arsham7098]

I am Persian and there is nothing in my country called Iranian carrot

[@tthappyrock368]

Rather than an actual Iranian dish, it's probably something somebody made up and the geographic reference sounded good to the person who came up with it.

[@jameswilliams8623]

Pupper days

[@amandageyman8033]

lol I eat grilled cheese with hot dogs all the time, it's gooood

[@garyth3snail847]

My name is Gary...

[@philippegauvin-vallee9371]

3:30

[@ranjanbiswas3233]

I actually read that " Train Wrecks in Eastern Pennsylvania" IT'S NOT FUNNY BOOK.

[@KaterinaTalantliva]

yeah you can listen and hear beasts, buldozers, brays, bleets and, of course, boys))) where do you live!!?!?)))

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

3:37 🌭

[@menaceman9011]

3:38 😏

[@dsma06]

You know you're an alcoholic when..

[@jameswilliams8623]

Cook book

[@iluvdissheet]

Corny....i cane for the roots! #bestbandonLateNight

[@TheCarrifaery]

somehow after pizzagate, this sketch doesn't go down so easily.

[@TheCarrifaery]

and that kid on the cover of "100 games for 1 Player" looks way too much like the kid in The Shining, a notable film about pedophilia. wtf late show? this is creepy.

[@jameswilliams8623]

I got no friends

[@ChrisPayneHBTW]

Adults can't adore Hot Dogs, they have to adoggydore them

[@pulle88]

too short !

[@taylorgoetz7604]

manx superbike

[@jameswilliams8623]

God iam dead now

[@hannanehstm9514]

What is problem with iranian carrot?

[@cassandraTPWK]

Wait, ya'll... What happened to Jimmy's finger??? Does anyone know or should I just Google it?

[@kaetiijay1853]

whyyyyyy do they all use tahoma for the cover font lmao

[@diehardrvdfan22]

Sounds like someone is studying typography.

[@Yasin_SK]

Hi

[@pierrejackson318]

im leaving nbc next spring

[@weasley2o13]

Getting drunk with a raccoon is my next life goal I swear.

[@brendoge]

Coming straight from a Conan video about fake coffee table books, you would swear some of these were created by the same writers.

[@CrapAt0ItsBest]

Brendan P lmao best

[@Robert-dv2ot]

Fallon's segment is better because they are real books. Conan's books are fake props.

[@kattoo99]

There are still libraries?

[@MARKedMAN1836]

Amanda Seyfried is a trainwreck from east Pennsylvania... I wonder if she was in the book...

[@AllNBAChronicles]

Late night bit without mentioning trump once. Fake bit. Sad. Also, overrated and failing hot dogs. Sad.

[@avintagejewel]

Sad sad book
