Every time I hear the name of Jimmy Fallon's "late night show soap opera"
7th Floor West , I think of
Central Park West , the short-lived 90s soap from Darren Star that aired on CBS. I really liked that show, even if everyone else didn't. But this soap follows the adventures of Fallon and his staff their NBC studio. Here's the first episode, and you can watch the others (episode 7 debuts on July 13) at the
7th Floor West site.
Fallon is doing some clever regular bits on his show. Except "Lick it for Ten."

I posted something about the first installment of
Head Swap , the game (actually, the non-existent game) on
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon where Fallon takes celebrity heads and puts them on the bodies of other celebrities. Here's another one from last night. I love this.
He's taken a premise that could get kinda lame quickly (like Conan's "If They Mated"), realized that it could get lame quickly, and taken it to a place the audience doesn't expect. Or maybe they just planned this to be like this from the get-go, create something that looks like it's going to be another wacky late-night feature and surprise people. It's not something I want to see every week, but once a month is just right.

Last night's
Tonight Show featured Conan going outside the studio and visiting people (the thing he does best). Specifically, he went out and talked to his new neighbors in L.A. Among the stores he visits are a restaurant, a furniture store, a gaming store, and a tattoo/body piercing parlor, where he got a tattoo on his arm. Was that real? If it was, that's called being dedicated to your comedy.
He also pretended to be Jay Leno to a stranger on the phone.
Update: Nope,
the tattoo isn't real .

Longtime Johnny Carson announcer and sidekick
Ed McMahon has passed away at age 86 .
This probably isn't a surprise to most people, since McMahon has been in poor health for a number of years and also injured his neck severely in a fall in his home in 2007.
McMahon is best known, of course, for being the announcer and couch mate for Carson on
The Tonight Show for 30 years. McMahon also hosted the original version of
Star Search for many years, co-hosted
Bloopers and Practical Jokes with Dick Clark, and was a staple of the annual
Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon every September. Besides appearing in a number of TV shows and movies, he was also a spokesman for American Family Publishers (though, oddly, every single joke about these commercials with the giant checks and McMahon mentions Publisher's Clearing House for some reason).
McMahon died at Ronald Reagan/UCLA Medical Center in L.A.
