Highlights from the 2009 "Kennedy Center Honors"

The Kennedy Center Honors broadcast is always one of the best shows of the year. On Tuesday night we saw tributes to Robert Deniro, Bruce Springsteen, Mel Brooks, Dave Brubeck, and Grace Bumbry.

All of the tributes were fantastic, but my favorite moment was Jon Stewart's introduction of The Boss. Perfection. You can watch a little bit of that intro below (it's a shame the entire segment isn't available). Also interesting is this feature on Springsteen's induction and an interview with CBS's Julie Chen (here's the second part of that interview).

 

Jimmy Fallon kicks off his Late Night life

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NBC, 12:35 am 

We've said au revoir to Conan and now it's time to welcome former SNL star Jimmy Fallon back to late night. Fallon admits to being "nervous but excited" about his new gig, and has already been warming up with some amusing webisodes. But the real test begins tonight.

And get ready for some massive over-analyzing starting around 12:36. . . .
