[@mrbellamy4761]

I get why people are surprised if they don't really know about The Roots, but yeah, they are much more than just a random talk show band, they backup tons of artists live and their standalone albums are seriously acclaimed. They are legit. I mean I'm sure they consider it an honor to be doing The Tonight Show, but being a house band is a pretty thankless task compared to their "real" music and Jimmy is honestly lucky to have them around, much as Conan was fortunate to have Max Weinberg all those years.

[@Allagi22]

The Roots are legendary, Questlove is by no means "secret" famous nor is the band.

[@saeonix]

The most interesting story ever told on Fallon without interruption

[@user-ck4yt3kv3p]

Letting the guest speak throughout the whole story, genuine laugh, adding subtle but funny comments at the right times...Who's the new guy and what have they done with Jimmy?

[@APEKING22]

Julio Rodriguez totally what I was thinking. I was waiting for him to interrupt and everything but it was there. got so focused on the waiting I forgot to listen. lol I had to watch it a second time to hear the story

[@88Musicgirl]

I was wondering too.

[@RuteSoares19]

Julio Rodriguez It's probably because it was a Prince story xD

[@lawwww]

Julio Rodriguez I find that comedians dont need help from the interviewer while they're talking or telling a story because that's kind of a comedian's job. The interruptions from Jimmy or any talk show host is to help the guest move on with their story with as less awkwardly or unfunny moments as possibly. Trust me sometimes interruptions from the host can really help a dull interview such as musicians or just plain boring actors.

[@heyTello]

that obnoxious laugh is still there lol. but I get what you mean about letting him talk, It's David spade FFS

David Spade is one of those guys that always kills on these types of shows. Always has a killer story w/ witty liners. He's such an underrated comedians. One of the greatest ever (at least of my generation).

And they keep asking him how was it working with Farley, really?! He's clever and subtle, and Farley was the loud, look at me type of a "comedian", like USA vs. UK.

[@jinhyun1]

SirPerfectful Face it, nineties people are simply better at the race joke. These new kids are tripping over themselves to find the right balance. Nineties people know exactly the right note to strike (Kramer was simply the exception that proved the rule. Don't throw that in my face)

[@tyronnwilson8562]

jinhyun1 loooooool

[@dlh7989]

+Katyas Ok For sure. Different subcultures have basic human things in common which we all share but then there are tons of superficial differences, so we get that funny anxiety of feeling like we're not fitting in when we're the odd one out. Most of us are civilized 21st century people so usually it's all in the mind and in reality the rest of the group is being very inclusive which is how he portrays it....obviously nobody really gives a shit that he's white, they invited him! But he can't get over it and starts acting weird which if you've ever been in that situation leads to hilarious awkwardness and misunderstandings, way more than if you joined in. Just because it's about race doesn't mean it's racist. His self-consciousness is the joke. As you say, we've all been there.

[@jenntip]

+shine On Yes!!! You're 100% right!

[@jackofallgods7764]

they say the thing that prevents racism the most is traveling to diverse places. Allows you to see and understand differences in people and culture. I think those people who travel a lot really understand that mentioning a cultural or racial difference idoesnt mean your talking down or criticising it. People should be equal in the eyes of the law and society but when it comes to lives traits and culture people are far from equal but also neither above or below one another. Even If youre culture and upbringing are alike to one another there is always something that made you into who you are and even if its somehow just 1 difference well that 1 difference is something that someone else will never be able to know what its like having. So instead of fighting over differences and instead of acting like we are all the same ppeople need to be sharing what its like and what its lead to and connect through that

[@alixvandurand]

Racism and stereotypes can be amazing when done right. I think it's really a matter of remaining humble and grounded, being able to laugh at yourself and your own race/stereotypes. Few people joke more at their own expense than David Spade which is why he can get away with such comments.

[@nicknametoolong]

If people don't miss Prince they are too young to have known much of his music, or are too obstinate to have appreciated it. He is hands down one of the greatest American musicians of all time including all genres of music.
