Jimmy Fallon may not be winning his time slot in the late night television ratings war every night, but he sure is doing a great job of landing cool musical guests.
This week’s roster include Gomez, Stevie Nicks, Dr. Dog and Cold War Kids. Not too shabby for a guy who just started the gig a few weeks ago looking as nervous as a third grader at his first piano recital.
It took Letterman a couple of years to start booking really hip acts and Jay Leno even longer. Imagine the drawing power Fallon will have if his show ever really takes off.
