Let's pull out our cooking utensils
everyone who has touched a sampler or DAW has done this. it's one of the most basic production techniques. it's like painting a nursery room and thinking you're rothko or strumming an open tuned guitar and thinking you're tal farlow (with fallon clapping like a 4 year old the whole time).
...as my art professor used to say, "if it was so easy, why haven't you done it?"
Let's pull out our cooking utensils
I'm (also?) of the camp that, at the end of a particulary ho-hum performance, the right thing to do is stay silent. Unlike the customary American Thing of screaming & yelling like a fangirl to any attempt of an act.
And Jimmy Fallon loves nothing more than pre-laugh at his own "jokes."
these people are children impressed with someone playing mary had a little lamb on a toy piano. absolutely embarrassing.
The Best of Star Wars on The Tonight Show
Can't stand Fallon with his own laugh tracks
Dance Monkey
Saw a live performance from Jimmy Fallon, mostly enjoyed it.
Jimmy Carr Stand-Up
I think Fallon might be letting his hair down. We'll see.
I'm just surprised all those jokes were given the okay for The Tonight Show. American late night talk shows generally have ZERO edge to it.

We explain "Nordic Socialism" to Trump
It doesn't work because there is an intrinsic group think personality in the Nordic region. Most people in that region that were born and raised there are very sensitive to profit making and ostentatious displays.
Which means that people are glad to simply 'get by'. There is not a mass drive to be better than your neighbor or own more toys than them. Of course there are outliers, but the bulk of Scandinavians are very used to the accepted norm. They are more willing to accept massive tax rates because they know they will be taken care of by the government. They aren't necessarily concerned about 'getting rich'.
Contrast that to other areas, especially the USA, and you will find out that it would never work here because we are an individualistic nation. Even the bluest liberal wants to be rich here. It's more cutthroat, more selfish, than you will find in a Scandi nation.
Another huge reason it would never work is that they do not spend anywhere near the percentage of their budget on defense that we do. Denmark spends about 20 billion per year on defense. Norway, an oil rich Scandi nation that is considered one of our most important NATO allies, spends about 6 billion. Less than 1.2% of their GDP. This is one thing that Trump was actually right about. We spend around 700 Billion, roughly 3.5% of our current GDP.
"Half the alliance — 16 of the 29 countries — don’t even spend 1.5 percent (of gross domestic product) let alone 2 percent that we all agreed on four years ago (at a NATO summit) in Wales,” Michael Fallon, who served as secretary of state for defense from 2014 to 2017, said. In 2017, only the U.K., Greece, Poland and Estonia reached the 2 percent target.
Whether that level of spending is needed is another argument altogether. I personally think we overspend way too much on defense, but regardless it is a huge factor as to why we can't offer the same level of 'socialism' that the Nordic nations do. If we spent the same percentage as Norway, we would be saving close to 460 billion dollars a year that could be applied to other programs. Such as paying for college for qualified students or trade school for ones that are not college minded. Or providing benefits to new mothers that we currently don't.
Why wouldn't it?
I can think of material reasons why what works in Denmark wouldn't work in other countries, but basic population doesn't seem important (once you have a basic population big enough to support the services, it seems like they'd scale just fine).

Two Neils sing "Old Man".
May be the best thing Jimmy Fallon ever did on his late night show *quality
Seth Meyers Interviews Kellyanne Conway
I think Seth does a great job considering he's on a major network and he needs to be kind enough to have them come back. Better than Fallon or Noah IMO.
Ugh, I did six minutes. Waste of time.
I miss John Stewart.
David Blaine Shocks Jimmy and The Roots with Magic Tricks
I don't know if he messed it up or if Jimmy's style is just making things seem that way.
