Jokes for Vacation Day #1

Posted by Lex Friedman on Apr 6, 2009

Jimmy’s off this week, but HireMeJimmyFallon.com is not. I’ve decided to write jokes for Jimmy each day this week, even though show isn’t taping new episodes. That’s dedication, my friends. Jimmy — a week off sounds like the perfect time for you to interview me, no?

  • It’s Opening Day for Major League Baseball. So if you love $10 hotdogs and steroid-popping, muscle-bound foreigners, today’s your lucky day! The economy’s so bad, though, that baseball had to introduce a new rule: If you catch a fly ball, they need you throw it back.
  • Researchers in Australia have found the actual, original Schindler’s List. It’s yellowed a bit hard to read, but the researchers have made out the phrases “milk” and “toilet paper.”
  • Also in Australia, a pet dog that fell overboard in rough seas was reunited with its owners after surviving on its own for four months. I know what you’re thinking — how could that dog have survived? The answer is simple: Doggypaddling.
  • Rapper Coolio has plead innocent on charges related to his drug bust at LAX last month. But his face says he’s guilty:

    Coolio high

  • A new study shows that more parents these days are getting their parenting advice on new babies from Facebook, instead of from books. In a related story, there’s been a major reported uptick in babies getting poked mercilessly.

Jokes for Show #7

Posted by Lex Friedman on Mar 10, 2009

My suggestions for tonight’s monologue:

  • Bernie Madoff, the 70-year-old trader accused of defrauding investors of billions, will be pleading guilty, and could be sentenced to 150 years in prison. With good behavior, he could be released right before his 200th birthday.
  • A first edition Harry Potter book was sold for $19,000. And they say there’s a recession! Specifically, it was Harry Potter and the Disappearing Savings Account.
  • Coolio has been charged with crack cocaine possession. We talked about it in the writer’s room, and we decided this story needs so punchline: Coolio’s enough of a joke as it is.
  • Chris Brown and Rhianna are reportedly recording a duet together. It’s reportedly a remake, entitled “Anything you can do, I can do battered.”

Boom! Good luck with tonight’s show, Jimmy!
