By Elizabeth Purvis It's no secret that Jimmy Fallon has rejuvenated what some people would say was a fading Tonight Show. Fallon, known for his work on SNL, has not only created funny segments and sketches but brings a genuine lighthearted sense of humor to every sketch and interview. He is one of the only late-night show hosts, that I know of, who is able to make every interview and guest feel like they are completely comfortable and an old friend. Here is my list of the ten best sketches on The Tonight Show. 1. #hashtag Every Wednesday, Jimmy sends out a tweet of a #hashtag that he plans to use. Then for the show, he picks his favorite ones. Among the best #hashtags were: #MomTexts, #WorstGiftEver, #MisheardLyrics, #WhyImSingle, and #IUsedToThink. Check out this video of Jimmy and Justin Timberlake hilariously overusing hashtags. 2. Box of Lies Rules: Jimmy and a celebrity guest star sit across from each other with only a small window to see each other. Behind them are nine boxes with strange objects in them. They each pull out a box and tell the other what's in their box. It could be the truth or a lie, and if the other guesses right they get a point. Vice versa. The first one to get two points is the winner! 3. Pros and Cons I love this one. It's pretty self-explanatory: Jimmy goes through the Pros and Cons of different events. Recent examples are of: Game of Thrones, Buying the New iPhone, March Madness, Britney Spears, and Harry Potter. 4. Lip Sync Battle Jimmy Fallon battles it out with various guest stars in a lip sync battle. There isn't a clear point system but the guest usually wins. 5. Classroom Instruments This is always so good. Jimmy and The Roots (his onstage band) are inside a box with a musical guest who sings a cover of one of their songs. All of the music is made with classroom instruments. 6. Ewwwww!!! I quote this constantly. Jimmy Fallon dressed in drag, talking like a pubescent teenage girl with a guest star. 7. Word Sneak Both are given five random words that they have to sneak into the conversation. 8. Water War The classic card game but if you lose... a glass of water to the face!!! If you draw the same card and get War, it's a pitcher of water if you lose. 9. Egg Russian Roulette A dozen eggs. Eight are hard-boiled and four are raw. Jimmy and his guest take turns smashing eggs on their own foreheads. The first one to break two raw eggs is the loser. 10. Wheel of Impressions Jimmy Fallon presses the Tonight Show button, which sets off the Wheel of Impressions. He and his guest take turns as the wheel gives them a random celebrity and a random topic to talk about. Need more for your pop culture fix?
