TV This Week: Fallon and Russell Crowe Duet About Oil Balls

So at first, we weren’t sure about this week’s TV. We had some clips gathered up, but beyond Anna Kendrick and and John Krasinski throwing down for a lip sync battle, we weren’t feeling especially wowed. But then the middle of the week came, which meant Amy Schumer being the best and some surprisingly satisfying late-night appearances, particularly on The Tonight Show. We started with a trickle, but ended with a flood—and fortunately for you, all the dirty work of sifting through the mire has been done. And even though we couldn’t fit it in the official top cuts, do treat yourself to Gina Rodriguez being ultra charming on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She won a Golden Globe for playing the title role in Jane the Virgin, and is apparently just a gem.

Inside Amy Schumer—Last F**kable Day (Above)

We gave you the GIF and Graf, and now we’re giving you the whole sketch. For bonus material in which Amy lambasts the hyper-aggressive and terrifyingly rapey culture surrounding football, check out “Football Town Nights” here. Be warned, this is the uncensored version with pretty NSFW language.

Lip Sync Battle—‪Anna Kendrick’s ‘Booty’ vs. John Krasinski’s ‘Proud Mary’‬

‬‬‬Careful. Watching this might make you so attracted to Anna Kendrick and John Krasinksi—and especially Anna Kendrick—that you might want to wait till you get home from work. Just trying to look out for you.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—2015 ‘Mercun Awards

‬‬For extra ‘Mercun fun, watch Stewart take the temperature of the Republican presidential hopefuls when it comes to gay marriage here.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—Jimmy Fallon and Russell Crowe Sing ‘Balls in Your Mouth’

‬‬‬‬So at this point, Russell Crowe doesn’t exactly have a reputation for whimsy, but he’s pretty damn game here for some “Balls in Your Mouth.” Maybe him and Jimmy should start an all-star band called 31 Odd Foot of Grunts. Well played, Crowe.

The Late Show With David Letterman—Tracy Chapman: ‘Stand by Me’

‬What happens when you take a highly sentimental song and ask one of the most earnest artists in music to cover it? Tears. That’s what happens. Enjoy the simple beauty of Tracy Chapman and Ben E. King.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!—John Stamos Announces Full House Is Coming Back

The new Full House will focus on D.J. Tanner, who is now a widow and a veterinarian struggling to raise her two kids alone while expecting a third. So she does what anyone who grew up in such a FULL HOUSE would do: recruit her sister, Stephanie (a returning Jodie Sweetin) and BFF, Kimmy Gibbler (once again, Andrea Barber) to move into her San Francisco house and be one big modern family. Stamos is clearly on board, which hopefully means Aunt Becky (the similarly well-aged Lori Laughlin) is coming back, too, because wasn’t she great? But who knows about Bob Saget and the Olsen twins! According a Fox News story (so, basically according to nothing), America’s most impressive twins didn’t even know about it. Way harsh, Netflix. So, there’s already (fake) drama brewing, and they haven’t even started filming yet. But the bigger question here is: Where were you when Firefly needed your help, NETFLIX?!

The Late Show with David Letterman—Amy Schumer’s Mom’s Bad Advice

If Broad City had to wrap up for the season, at least we have Amy Schumer to cushion the blow, and hopefully we can look forward to a late-night Schumer press tour a la Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer during this season of Inside. If you still need MOAR AMY, watch her taunt Letterman with her vagina here.

Conan—Rosario Dawson Wants to Mug New Yorkers

You heard it straight from the source, everyone. When that petty crime wave kicks up around New York City this spring, don’t say you weren’t warned. Rosario on the loose!

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—Jeff Garlin

‬‬‬This whole “Jon Stewart is going off the air and running a victory lap” thing is going to be super fun, you guys. And now we want to go to a BBQ with Stewart and his old pal Jeff. Then we’ll keep the good times rolling by hitting up the supermarket with Jeff, Jon, and Billy Crystal after they get super high. #Goals

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—Say Anything With Blake Lively

‬‬‬Blake Lively. How do you stay so charming, Blake Lively? Taking a break from motherhood and the real-world fairytale that is preserve.us HQ—which she shares with husband/World’s Most Handsome Amiable Star, Ryan Reynolds—Blake stopped by The Tonight Show to raz Jimmy Fallon and tape his face together during one of his signature silly games. She also had a completely legitimate reaction while talking to her Age of Adeline co-star Harrison Ford after she binge-watched the Indiana Jones movies one night before seeing him on set. She talks about it here. Come on. Don’t act like you would be any cooler around Han Solo aka Dr. Jones aka Jack Ryan aka Rick Deckard. Because you wouldn’t.
