Jimmy Fallon pens thank you notes to moms, Nintendo and guys in spandex jogging pants? All that and more. The impossible happens when James, who provides the mood music for the Thank You Notes segment, and the gravitas, loses it. James is known for maintaining his stoic, unchanging demeanor despite what is being said. To see James truly crack up is worth the price of admission.
Jimmy brings up one of our oddest traditions, the wearing of graduation gowns. As Jimmy points out, you don your finest clothing then top it with a garbage bag so no one can see it. Of all of the more puzzling traditions we simply continue without questioning perhaps these are among the least comprehensible. No one looks good in that outfit, and unless you’re 6 feet tall you and your pals look like a gathering of crows, with boards inexpicably perched atop their heads. If course, any girl who has been in a wedding has undoubtedly worn worse.
Speaking of clothing, how about spandex jogging pants? Jimmy’s excellent advice to many enthusiasts is – just don’t.
