One of my favorite shows is 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'. I love all of the creative bits Jimmy does and makes everything look so easy. Along with his sidekick Higgins, it seems like they are laughing at each other's hijinks for the first time. It can't really be that funny after it's rehearsed, can it? Spoiler alert - The Tonight Show is a well-planned 'Scripted' show. I'm sure some stuff is the spur of the moment, but they definitely know where they are going with each joke.

You might think that Bobby and I just open the microphone and immediately the show comes together, but I can assure you a lot goes on behind the scenes. Here's a little peek...

Bobby and I share a document for a lot of our shared segments. Some bits we like to surprise each other with. Like when we do 'LOL Tri-State', We prep our jokes and then cross our fingers that we don't have the same ones! So, we do not rehearse this bit, but we know that we want to end with a big laugh.
