Is that... is that how Jimmy Fallon is really going to do his show? I caught maybe three actual, English words. The rest was just 'Err, mmwah, yeeaaalp.' Maybe he was nervous in the presence of greatness (even if she was an old friend).

And before anyone calls me a hater, I actually thought he was great on SNL.

@HeatherNumber1: I don't know about great, but his constant breaks in character to laugh were some of the funniest moments during those seasons (and when Horatio Sanz would pretty much dare him to laugh... they were great together).

His monologue was ok. Not sure if he's actually nervous, or just playing the cute-nervous-aw shucks guy. But really? Anything is better than Jay Leno's delivery. ANYTHING. So my take on this might be a bit off.

I loved it when she referred to Robert Pattinson by saying, "Is that the devil?" She's awesome, and I think it helped Jimmy to have an old friend on the show. Still seemed a bit nervous, but I thought there was some improvement over night one and DeNiro.

I knew I was a mom when I had poop on my shirt and it took me two hours to figure it out. Yep, projectile poop.

@fuzzyorangabear: Well, there was that moment that my then-infant daughter projectile pooped onto my face and into my eye as I diapered her in the middle of the night. On my bed. So. That was a pretty clear "I must be a mom" moment.

But I've written about that moment at least twice on Jezebel before, so I probably shouldn't bring it up again. Don't want to frighten the childless.

@AthertonMerriweather: @ellaesther: Oh my, I had forgotten about projectile pooping. It happened to me when I was diapering my son too, and I remember primarily just being startled by the distance the poop actually traveled.

Thanks for reminding me, as I am literally about to give birth, from what I'm feeling now probably today.

Good luck!!!! All best Jezebelle thoughts with you!!!! (Even if it's not for another two weeks!)

Here, I'll do a Jedi mind trick on your baby: You don't need to projectile poop. (Baby: I don't need to projectile poop) You will only poop into your diaper, and you will do it neatly. (Baby: I will only poop into my diaper, and I will do it neatly).

There. That's done! (Good luck! Yay babies!)

@marshmallory is the real larry braverman.: He's okay. Seems very nervous; stammers a lot. The jokes were fine -- not particularly inventive. He laughs too much and seemed to be flustered around the bigger names (Bloomberg, Bon Jovi.)He's pleasant, though. He's adequate. (You think I don't know "adequate" sucks?)

Haha, the underpants comment is hilarious and so true (although I'm not a mother, but I do have over a decade of taking care of other people's kids). I remember fighting with my cousin's toddler son to get him to put his pajama pants on. He kept telling me it was too hard. When I finally helped him put them on, his foot got caught. He yelled "See!" really loudly. It still makes me giggle.
