?uestlove’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” Countdown

Five Best Guests

1. Tie: Artie Lange and Olivia Munn

I don’t know if you can capture lightning in a bottle, but I will say this much — I’ve never seen a more ironic one-two punch in the history of the show. We all had crazy expectations for Lange ’cause of his reputation on [Howard] Stern and sure enough, he was comic gold. So gold, I thought there was no way Munn (who I know from the G4 channel) would stand a chance. But sure enough, she hung in there with the big boys and next thing I know everything she said was punch-line-worthy on some “take that, Artie” level (actually her portion was heavily censored and edited and not ready for post-prime time). Of course to top it off Susan Sarandon does a cameo walk-on. I never expected so much nor laughed so hard.’
