Every Wednesday on the show, Jimmy reads off viewer comments from a topic for discussion he started the night before on Twitter. Topics have included "My parents are weird", "Why don't they make that?", "Beach fail", and "Aww hell no!"
Jimmy also wrote out a special Winter Olympics-themed set of thank you notes during NBC's prime-time Olympic coverage on February 26, 2010 (a Friday); anchor Bob Costas "played" the usual thank you note-writing music (by pretending to play along on a keyboard while a pre-recorded track of the music played in the background).
It was announced on January 31, 2011 that Fallon had signed a book deal to publish entries from the series as two books, the first of which, Thank You Notes, was released May 23, 2011.
On Thursdays, Jimmy showed a few short viral video clips from recent TV shows and YouTube, then asked Questlove to create a short remix combining parts of all the videos. This sketch has seemingly been retired.
A parody of the MTV series The Hills, documenting Jimmy's arrival to Late Night and his initial struggles in the beginning of the show, such as whether to wear a red tie or a blue tie on his premiere episode. Season 1 of the series dealt with Jimmy's passive-aggressive power struggle with Miles, Late Night's head writer. Future Saturday Night Live cast member Jenny Slate appeared as Jimmy's assistant who betrayed his trust by collaborating with Miles. New installments premiered every Monday during the summer of 2009, and have a storyline focused on continuity, much as The Hills does.
Season 2 finds Miles, having moved to the costume department in the season 1 finale, unhappy with his new role and wishing he was back among the writing staff. As revenge, he dresses Jimmy in ridiculous clothes in order to make Jimmy look like an idiot. During the season, Jimmy and Miles both run for the position of fire warden of the floor. In the series finale, Jimmy and Miles decide to end their silly feud and be friends again, Jimmy gives Miles his job in the writing department back, and they appointed Questlove to be fire warden.
Real Housewives of Late Night is a recurring parody of the various The Real Housewives of... reality shows with 5 cast members playing the roles of their fictional "wives". The cast includes Late Night host Jimmy Fallon as power-mad Denise, announcer Steve Higgins as gravel-voiced chain smoker Lydia, Roots bassist Owen Biddle as perpetually-drunk Renee, head writer A.D. Miles as uptight Dale (who is usually accompanied by her son Caleb, who is allergic to all food other than a special paste), and 'director' (in reality, writer) Bashir Salahuddin as always-hungry Yvonne. Each segment continues from the last in an over-arching story similar to 7th Floor West. The plot revolves around alliances and over-the-top rivalries between the characters resulting in exaggerated responses by the characters. Today Show's Fourth Hour hosts Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb appeared on the set of their show during one episode. Named after Late Night's location at 30 Rock, Studio 6B, 6-Bee is a parody of the FOX series Glee. After Jimmy goes to an NBC accountant (played by Fred Armisen) to request money for cue cards, he is turned down because the $375 they would cost is too expensive. However, Jimmy discovers that the first place prize money for glee club sectionals (a flyer for which is conveniently posted in the hallway outside Studio 6B across from a row of lockers) is $380, so he decides to gather the Late Night crew - including A. D. Miles, Paula Pell, Bashir Salahuddin, and Abby Elliott from SNL - together to compete. As practice, they sing the Bon Jovi song "Livin' on a Prayer". Later, Jimmy and the Late Night squad discover that the cast of the NBC show Parks and Recreation (including Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Pratt) will also be competing in sectionals - and Parks & Rec has recruited The Roots to be in their squad. Jimmy is so frustrated by the Roots' defection that he sings the Twisted Sister song "We're Not Gonna Take It" (which, eventually, both squads join in on).
Jimmy also wrote out a special Winter Olympics-themed set of thank you notes during NBC's prime-time Olympic coverage on February 26, 2010 (a Friday); anchor Bob Costas "played" the usual thank you note-writing music (by pretending to play along on a keyboard while a pre-recorded track of the music played in the background).
