There's another reason why I like to get to know a little something about celebrities, especially actors. It seems to me that many, not all, actors share my thoughts, my attitudes, and my values on the subject of how we should treat others. In other words, they seem more accepting and less judgemental than the general public.
You may not agree; I know that many don't and that's ok. Agree or not, I think you understand why I usually want the guest to be the center of attention. But that doesn't happen on the Tonight Show.
When Fallon is alone on the set, it's all about Jimmy, and why not? It's his show. But when he's joined by a guest--shall we say, Taylor Swift, it's never all about her. It's about Jimmy and Taylor.
If I'm watching any other show where this specific Tonight Show format is used, I start looking for reruns of Seinfeld or Big Bang Theory. The difference is that Fallon has created a wonderful little world that allows only fun. Jimmy has fun, the guests have fun and I have fun just watching. I get completely caught up in all that positive emotion.
I don't only enjoy watching; I want to be like Jimmy Fallon. I want to have a little world of my own where I can, just for a little while, forget about war, disease, natural disasters, and the inhumanity of mankind. I want to enjoy everything that's right with life.
That's what I try to accomplish with this blog. It's a place where I can do my own positive emoting and, just as I enjoy Jimmy's Tonight Show, I hope that you will enjoy my world with me.
