One last Thanksgiving post: Jimmy Fallon writes his thank you notes

So we've hopefully recovered from stuffing ourselves with turkey and pie and wine yesterday, but I wanted to post one last thing about Thanksgiving. This is from Late Night. Jimmy Fallon usually does his "thank you notes" on Fridays but he wanted to do a special version for Turkey Day.

What Jonathan is thankful for

Sons of AnarchyAnother year, another Thanksgiving, and another Fall TV season with plenty of reasons to be thankful. Here's what's winning me over this holiday season...

FX's Sons of Anarchy -- Talk about a complete 180°. This show went from near the bottom of my list last season to one of the most superb dramas on TV right now. Midway through last year's up and down freshman season, I argued that that show had more to offer at a second glance, but for the most part, Kurt Sutter and his team were still finding their footing. Well, they found their footing and then some this year. Season two has been expertly plotted and executed this season and this past week's penultimate episode put the pieces in motion for a season finale that no TV fan should plan on missing.

Conan vs. Letterman - Who will be the next Oprah?

In his Tonight Show monologue Friday night, Conan O'Brien threw his hat in the ring to replace Oprah, following her announcement that she would leave her syndicated show after next year's 25th season.O'Brien even offered a new segment. Since Oprah was in charge of what people read, and Conan confessed he isn't much on reading, he offered to suggest DVDs for people to watch. The first Conan DVD Club selection? Kill Dozer, about a killer bulldozer.

Here's the clip:

What You Missed Last Night: Thanksgiving with Jimmy Fallon and Blake Lively

I had no idea that Gossip Girl's Blake Lively spent that last dozen or so Thanksgivings with Jimmy Fallon. In this clip, we see what happened on those days and why they're spending Thanksgiving apart this year.

I love the reaction of the audience at the start, sensing tension and humor but not really sure what' going on.

Andy Richter: The TV Squad Interview

Andy Barker P.I. If you never managed to catch Andy Barker, P.I. when it originally aired two years ago, try not to beat yourself up. Though the show had an impressive cast, led by Andy Richter as a CPA-turned-private-investigator, and including Harve Presnell, Tony Hale, Marshall Manesh, and Clea Lewis. It was also created by Conan O'Brien and Jonathan Groff. But it only lasted six episodes, and didn't seem to get much push from NBC. Watching it on the newly released DVD, Andy Barker, P.I.: The Complete Series, it's hard not to feel the show could have had legs if given the chance.

All's well that ends well, though, and Richter is happier than ever, paired again with Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show, getting to do what he calls a "silly little comedy show" without dealing with the backwards world of the sitcom. I spoke with Richter earlier this week about Barker and being back with Conan.

Do you think Andy Barker, P.I. got a fair shake when it was first out?


Oh, certainly not. Absolutely not. It was sort of just, you know, shoved on TV and meant to go away.

What You Missed Last Night: Jimmy Fallon almost gets sued by Twilight producers

The entire time I watched this clip from last night's Late Night, I was thinking, "if Taylor Lautner smashes into a wall face-first or falls off of the mini-bike and cracks his head open, Fallon is going to be in big trouble." The two guys raced around the NBC hallways on mini-bikes. The winner wins because he cheats.

Kristen Stewart can really throw a football

There's a major movie opening tomorrow. It's the movie everyone is talking about and obsessed with, to the point of standing in line for hours and hours, and they say it could be the highest-grossing movie of the year. Of course, I'm talking about The Blind Side.

Kristen Stewart is in a movie tomorrow too, and last night she appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and threw footballs at plats. If the whole movie thing doesn't work out...

What You Missed Last Night: Spencer Pratt wants to run for President

Last night, Spencer Pratt announced on The Tonight Show that he might run for President. His reasoning? It has to do with becoming hated by everyone and hacking computers. Or something. I don't think he's thought it through yet. Seth Green gets a little dig in, and the audience is obviously tired of him and Heidi.

What you don't hear in the clip (it cuts off early) is the audience actually booing Heidi and Spencer. My favorite part of the show was the end, as the music played and credits rolled Conan talked to guest Brian Setzer and Green talked to Andy, leaving Speidi all alone in the middle on the couch, not sure where to look or who to talk to.
