1948 Fun Show
"Audience friends, about the first guest tonight, before the official introduction, I have a little story to share. As is customary for the show, we would write a simple cross-talk to introduce the guests, but for tonight's one, my team and I were seriously thinking about how to introduce them, but after we discussed more than 100 versions - I was serious, because there were so many ways to introduce them, but it was difficult to choose, and finally we chose the perfect version. ”
Jimmy-Fallon (more translated as "Long/Lun" in Chinese, in order to avoid homophony, the former was chosen), one of the most popular talk show hosts among contemporary young people, because of the activity on social networks, but also because of personal relationships with Justin Timberlake, the Rotten Boy Gang and others, but also because of the funny and spit personality without outbreak, widely loved by young netizens, recognition and popularity are exceptional.
"Saturday Night Live" has produced countless comedians for the American entertainment industry, and Jim is one of them, who served as a regular cast member of the show team from 1998 to 2004, and later began writing scripts for the show, gradually gaining a foothold in the comedy industry.
After leaving "Saturday Night Live", Jimmy began to gradually develop his acting career, from host to comedian to script writing, etc., but he was never able to open up the situation, until 2009, he took over Conan O'Brien's show and became the host of NBC's late talk show "The Late Show", which also became a turning point in his career, his popularity skyrocketed, and his career officially entered an era of full prosperity.
At the beginning of this year, NBC TV station had another personnel transfer, and Seth Meyers, who was also born in "Saturday Night Live", and Jimmy Fallon switched a time slot, Seth, who was originally in the evening slot, was transferred to the late night slot, and Jimmy in the late night slot came to the evening slot, officially opened the "Jimmy Tonight Show" program, entered the prime time of NBC, and became the pillar of the TV station in one fell swoop.
Cause?
"The Tonight Show" used to be Jay Renault's show - that is, a classic talk show that Lan Li has been a guest on many times before and after, but at the end of last year, Jay Renault decided to officially retire and ended his contract with NBC, which also made NBC have to start thinking about Jay Renault's successor; more importantly, "The Tonight Show" is NBC's ace show in the North American market for more than 30 years, and they definitely don't want Jay Renault to be surpassed by their opponents after retirement.
From Seth Mayers to Jimmy Fallon, NBC executives also struggled and hesitated before finally deciding to hand over the show to the latter.
After the launch of "The Jimmy Tonight Show", the ratings inevitably declined, and Jay Reno's unique style still had no way to be replaced after all; Jimmy Fallon's style was still relatively light and cheerful, for the fixed viewers of "The Tonight Show", the taste and content were too shallow, not bland, but it did lack the urge to watch.
However, Jimmy Fallon is better at creating buzz on social networks than Jay Leno, and the discussion among young viewers is slowly rising, which makes NBC decide to continue to trust Jimmy, give him more time, and look forward to the show's revitalization.
From the beginning of the year to now, in just four months, Jimmy is still in the early transition stage, trying to adapt his style to the preferences of the evening hours.
Today, Jimmy ushered in the most important guest since the start of the show, which is definitely an important turning point for the ratings of the talk show.
The ingenuity of the opening remarks can be seen in the intentions of the program team.
"Audience friends, the first guest of the night......" Jimmy deliberately paused slightly, and there was a hint of sly expression in his eyes, and after raising the expectations of the audience, the answer was announced, "Lan Li-Hall!"
The audience applauded!
The whistles and cheers were so loud that the whole studio was stirred up - as Jimmy said, any modifier seemed redundant, just a name was enough, and those extravagant embellishments were no match for the power of the name itself.
"Lanli-Hall", this is the best introduction, and the most perfect introduction.
The tsunami-like applause echoed throughout the studio, including Jimmy himself, and the audience collectively stood up to greet Lan Li's debut with the highest standard of treatment, and under the watchful eye, a figure walked out from behind the gray-brown curtain on the right, and then the applause and cheers exploded again, climbing to a new height.
Light gray suit pants with a lake blue blazer, an off-white T-shirt with ivory skateboard shoes, there are no extra accessories on the body, just wearing a watch on the wrist of the right hand, and the neatly trimmed beard still maintains a mature charm - this is also to match the character image of "Jurassic World", and the clean image of neat short hair erected with hair wax completely highlights the charm of mature men.
Ranley Hall, the man who changed the entire North American film market, is here!
Jimmy walked off the stage in person, walked towards Lan Li with open arms, but saw Lan Li's footsteps stop in place, showing an expression of resistance, which immediately made Jimmy stand stiffly in place, as if he didn't know what to do, and that appearance made the audience laugh collectively.
Lan Li took another step, stretched out his right hand, and expressed his meaning with his eyes and movements: Just shake hands.
Jimmy looked at the audience with an innocent face, as if he was crying about the fact that he was disgusted by Lan Li, but in the next second, he still held Lan Li's right hand and deliberately made a bright smile in the direction of the camera lens, showing his teeth neatly, as if a fanatical fan met an idol.
Looking at Jimmy, who was playing treasure in front of him, Lan Li deliberately took a small half step back, posing as if he was not very comfortable, forming a positive and unfamiliar contrast with Jimmy, and the picture was even more funny, and the applause and laughter in the studio were completely mixed together, which was extremely lively.
Judging from the meeting, Jimmy's mischievous mischievous behavior doesn't seem to be able to disrupt the rhythm of Lan Li, but instead presents a different spark, which is a good start.
After the simple greeting, Lan Li and Jimmy returned to their positions, but the screams and applause of the audience could not be stopped at all, and wave after wave surged towards Lan Li, even Jimmy was abandoned aside, and there was no way to control the emotions of the audience.
"Ahhh
"Ahhh
Lan Li felt Jimmy's pleading gaze, and had to stand up again, pressing his hands down slightly, signaling the audience to calm down a little, and when the noise was not so harsh, Lan Li continued, "Relax, in the next ten minutes, I should be trapped in this small chair, I think, we still have enough time to talk slowly, maybe not as deep as Oprah Winfrey, but at least go further than Jay Renaud." ”
The audience burst into laughter!
Even Jimmy couldn't help but give a round of applause, "Wow, wow!" In the midst of a burst of laughter, Jimmy raised his voice, "I've heard about it a long time ago, Ranley Hall is an actor with an amazing personality, and now I finally understand why, this should be our first meeting, right? Hey, hello, I'm Jimmy Fallon." ”
"When we first met, I was Ranley Hall. Lan Li and Jimmy shook hands again.
It's just the simplest action, and it's fried again in the studio.
Jimmy also shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile, "You have to forgive them, there is no way, this is New York, this is your home stadium, I think, the audience welcomes you more than ever on any occasion, and this enthusiasm should not disappear in a short time." ”
Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" was mainly recorded in Los Angeles, and now Jimmy has moved the studio to New York, because he lives in New York and his entire career is based in New York, in other words, this is his home turf.
"I've seen Woody Allen perform, and I've seen Robert De Niro appear in restaurants, so, I guess, the city has always been very friendly and doesn't hesitate to show its enthusiasm, I mean, it's probably harder for L.A. people to be here." ”
Ha ha!
The whistle plus the applause and laughter caused a sensation in the audience again, and even the directors and screenwriters standing in the studio couldn't help but exchange their eyes.
"I finally understand what Jay means now, God, you can really put us out of work, you know? I'm kind of sorry for inviting you to the show now. Jimmy let out a long breath and complained about it, and in the midst of his laughter, he went on to explain, "It's just a joke, a joke! I mean, your humor is really amazing, I'm starting to feel nervous now, and I definitely didn't mean to complain." ”
Compared with Jay Reno, Jimmy's style is more mild, so he will explain those sarcastic and banter jokes, and at the same time, the polite words in social situations are very, very frequent, almost every guest appears, he has to say, "I'm your fan" - this kind of scene, Jay Leno rarely says, which is also the difference between the two styles.
Of course, Jimmy can't be blamed, but character is partly the reason why haters in the age of social networking tend to deliberately twist the host's bad jokes and create conflicts out of context.
"Personally, I really like the work 'Gravity' and of course the can't be missed" ......" Jimmy began to compliment routinely and turned his head to look at the audience, "I didn't mention it in my opening remarks just now, but 'Interstellar' is now in full theaters, and I sincerely hope that everyone in the audience will be able to walk into the cinema." We'll talk about the story of the movie later, but it's just a reminder for now. ”
