Actually we only sat through part of the show (thankfully didn't have to be herded in like the rest of the audience). I'm a fan of Jimmy Fallon, though, so it was not an imposition! My friend actually got a little choked up seeing them again after 16 years, we're very excited to see the shows at Radio City.
@jotibooth: Wonder how @questlove feels about Jarvis after he invaded MJ's stage back in the day
@questlove: @jotibooth lol if you knew the controversy askin that question last time he was here caused today. Jesus I thought I needed boxin gloves lol
I suppose I really don't get the MJ thing. Even people I know who like MJ will all admit he was OTT at the Brit Awards and that Jarvis' behaviour was justified and necessary.
I still remember the band 3T (Jackson's nephews) slagging off Jarvis on Live & Kicking in the days following the Brit Awards and being overcome by rage.
I can appreciate that if someone's main point of reference to who Jarvis is was "the Michael Jackson incident" they'd think he was a dick. Kind of like how I feel about that dick off The Voice.
Yeah, they were ok weren't they. Not outstanding or fantastic just ok. Better than just about everything else though, I'd rather see an ok Pulp than anyone else.
Questlove is the drummer in a band called "The Roots"
Also, The Roots are the house band for the show. So Questlove is like the Paul Shaffer of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Would have been funny if he'd mimicked the stunt, but he's an extremely large man (deceptively large, like Keith Olberman), so I imagine he's not nearly as sprightly as young Jarvis.
For some reason I also thought Hawley might be joining them for these shows. To tell the truth, I was still holding a tiny hope that Russell might surprise us all.
Was he really angry at Jarvis, or was it just an off-the-cuff remark that got blown out of proportion?
The roots aren't bad, but... ugh. Can you imagine if Pulp became the f-ing house band to.....um.... the Graham Norton show? (Yes, I had to google UK talk show host)

When I think of chat show bands, I get as far as 4 Poofs and a Piano! (Jonathan Woss, does he still have them now he's on ITV, haven't seen him for ages).
Similarly to you, I had never heard of Jimmy Fallon till this thread appeared.

Those bands are a big deal for late night in the US, but it's weird to have a touring and recording band becoming a late night band. Either it's good money or nobody cared about them anymore. Probably both.
