You guys remember earlier how I wrote that post about Three Reasons to Love Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? (Yeah, this one.) Well there's another talk show host who I absolutely love and it's not Jay Leno-- hahaha seriously I hate Jay Leno-- it's CONAN!

I could go on and on about Conan and give you a million reasons to watch him but do I really need to? No. Okay then I will just list one.

1. The one, the only Harry Shearer will be a guest on Conan tonight and you should all tune in and watch because why wouldn't you? Harry Shearer is funny. Conan is funny. So much laughter!

What a week, what a week, indeed.

1. Earl Sweatshirt (pictured, left) is free following a stint at a Samoan boys' school, and has dropped this new track, "Chum," which shows that not only has he still "got it," but he has only gotten better.

2. Ted Danson was being awesome and spreading (hopefully true) rumors about a Bored to Death TV Movie.

3. Mythbusters is going to mythbust (that's a legit verb, now, right?) Breaking Bad, which is kind of neat, even though I think mythbusting is kind of boring.

4. If you guys like Boy Meets World, then you'll probably love Girl Meets World?!?! What?

5. Oh right, and I don't know if you saw this or not but during Hurricane Sandy I made this video about my Top Ten Candy Picks!

Earl is Free. All is right with the world. Tweet at me internet @MrChrisDonahue

You know what, guys? I've always been a fan of Jimmy Fallon. Okay, so maybe (definitely) when he was on SNL he may have broken (uh, definitely broken) character a little often, but I think that is what makes him such a great late night talk show host. He's being himself so he has every right to laugh at all his own jokes, right?! Here are three reasons I like Late Night With Jimmy Fallon:

1. A.D. Miles is Fallon's head writer. Miles also created and starred in one of our most-beloved series, Horrible People. Late Night is Miles' first job as head writer and he's doing a great! Bobby Tisdale (who plays "Smacky Guest" in Horrible People, and is also just someone I love) used to be a writer for the Late Night, as well.

2. Fallon has great musical guests. Wu-Tang Clan just performed a new song from the soundtrack of RZA's new movie. Do you know how hard it is to get all those guys into one room these days?

Also, members of another hip hop group I love, Odd Future's Tyler, The Creator and Hodgy Beats, made their first television appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

3. Seth Herzog is the warm-up comic for the show. Not only can you see Seth just about everywhere, from VH1's Best Week Ever to David Wain's The Ten, but he's also an amazing stand-up.

Watch Fallon then tweet me about it @MrChrisDonahue

America's Test Kitchen

Have you ever seen this show? It's amazing. No gimmicks. No embellishments. No harbingers of death masked as fried food. No one weirdly obsessed with her husband or wearing really heavy eye makeup in her kitchen. This show is legit. It acknowledges common cooking problems that the average home cook might have, and presents reasonable steps for fixing them. AND they have 608 recipes for Apple Pie or Apple Pie-related food items. And if that's not an American thing we should love, I don't know what is.

America Ferrera

Why? She's amazing. Most people know her from Ugly Betty but I first discovered her in a movie called "Real Women Have Curves." That movie was really important for me because I, too, moved from Los Angeles to New York to go to Columbia. I, too, am a real woman who has curves. I, too, have had magic moments made more magical by because Manu Chao's "Minha Galera" is playing in the background. PLUS, she was in those "Traveling Pants" movies, which were pretty terrible but provided all of us with hilarious pants puns for a year or two.
