Do Nick Offerman and Aziz Ansari get the last lines in 'Parks & Recreation's series finale? And why was Offerman vomiting and crying during it? Offerman - who plays Ron Swanson in the beloved NBC sitcom - came close to spoiling the ending of Amy Poehler's small town bureaucratic comedy while chatting to Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' last night, while also revealing that he learned his deadpan delivery in church, and helped Jimmy out by reciting his very own literal version of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas', and the results are predictably amazing.

"Top Five," Chris Rock's new movie that he wrote and directed and stars in — is all about lists. So who are Chris Rock and Jimmy Fallon's top five rappers of all time in 2014? The answers are surprising, to say the least, and alongside illustrious names like Jay-Z, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Drake and Kanye West, there are also a couple of not-so-famous names. Appearing on "The Tonight Show" last night, Dec. 8, Rock challenged Fallon to offer up his top five rappers of all time, and Fallon, for once in his life, seemed somewhat put on the spot. "First, I've got to say Beastie Boys ...

"Rappin' Duke, huh," teases Rock. "Was it between him and [Sir] Mix-A-Lot?" Read More »
It has been the biggest of big years for "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, having taken over NBC's flagship late night show from Jay Leno in February, spending 2014 interviewing almost every celebrity under the sun — from Bradley Cooper to Barbra Streisand — and then putting most of them in exceptionally funny situations and challenges. And now he has got an impressive accolade to top it off: "Entertainment Weekly's" 2014 Entertainer of the Year. That's according to "EW," which has named "Saturday Night Live"-alum Fallon its Entertainer of the Year and has the late night host on the cover of this week's magazine. With it comes a substantial feature interview with Jimmy Fallon, with plenty of examination as to how the married 40-year-old father of one has taken over the entertainment biz. In the highest praise possible, "EW" says that since taking over the "The Tonight Show," Fallon "turned the revered late-night franchise into the hottest party in town, a celebrity playpen full of games, music, surprise guests, games and good vibes all around."
