Jimmy Fallon and Engadget: raw and uncut

We had a chance to get on the show floor at CES and chat with Jimmy Fallon (the new face of late night television as he's taking over for Conan O'Brien in March) on his gadget tastes, stock purchases, and jacket size. We hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Special thanks to Trent Wolbe for shooting the video

WTF yes I will admit that its nice but for 900 bucks whats the point.

[adam @ Jan 9th 2009 5:35PM]

Normal Sony rip off, but I agree it looks nice!

[vitriolix @ Jan 26th 2009 8:32PM]

The point is if you are a Powerpoint jockey, where your job is basically to travel around and give presentations, all you want is something that does the basic stuff and stays out of your way. Plus, you could actually use this sucker on an airplane when the guy in front of you reclines his chair, without having to jab the laptop into your torso.

that being said, i'm not their target demo, i need a real desktop replacement and I don't mind lugging around a 10 pounder to get it.

Viao P:

Jimmy: They're calling it a Netbook, right?

Josh: NO!! THEY'RE NOT CALLING IT A NETBOOK, they don't want you to call it a netbook.

Jimmy: So who's calling it a netbook?

Josh: Everybody cause that's kinda what it is.

[Wwhat @ Jan 13th 2009 8:18AM]

Obviously no company wants to call things netbook because the owners of the trademark 'netbook' are suing right now, and not because it isn't a netbook, did engadget staff miss that? They keep suggesting it's just for some personal/marketing reason they suddenly don't want to call things netbook.

Oh well, I like the video and that's what counts :)

[Simon Hunter @ Jan 9th 2009 5:37PM]

this is the best post ive seen on engadget - ever :)

[Rifter @ Jan 9th 2009 5:49PM]

This is pretty dang good. Geek humor at its finest. :-)

[Jo @ Jan 9th 2009 7:32PM]

oh yeah!

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Jan 9th 2009 10:39PM]

Make Jimmy a Contributing Editor or Guest Blogger!

[raskev @ Jan 9th 2009 5:43PM]

Josh, thanks for a good laugh at the end of a long day.

[Philip @ Jan 9th 2009 5:43PM]

funniest thing I have seen all day

[Arno @ Jan 9th 2009 5:44PM]

That was great. :)

[a ham sandwich @ Jan 9th 2009 5:45PM]

so ive been thinking about this and i mean it wholeheartedly. engadget's coverage of CES this year has been nothing short of fantastic. with the Pre unveiling and all of the liveblogging of the keynotes, and now an interview with a tv personality, all i can say is bravo guys! well done! josh, nilay, and all the rest of you, my hat's off. anybody else with me on this?

[ai4281 @ Jan 9th 2009 7:07PM]

Yeah, it's great this year. Much better than last year, imo.

I've been reading the live blogs whenever live videos weren't available. Josh's commentaries are hilarious too.

I'm glad Engadget did as much Palm Pre coverage as they did, because it was so amazing! Sometimes when they do that to Apple products, it can be annoying (and I'm a Mac user), but for Palm Pre it was rightly deserved.

[waterwagen @ Jan 9th 2009 10:19PM]

Absolutely. Kudos to Josh, Paul, Nilay, and the gang.

[lastxcallforsin @ Jan 9th 2009 5:45PM]

"it looks like you have a gun" haha

[bandigolo @ Jan 9th 2009 5:46PM]

He was brilliant in Taxi with Queen Latifah...

[Rob @ Jan 9th 2009 6:45PM]

Best movie ever!

[Rick C @ Feb 2nd 2009 6:38PM]

There's no way your serious.

[bandigolo @ Jan 12th 2009 4:29PM]

I never joke about the Queen.

[Endejas @ Jan 9th 2009 5:47PM]

He's good, but he'll never beat Craig Ferguson in my heart for late night TV.

[lastxcallforsin @ Jan 9th 2009 5:47PM]

"it looks like you have a gun" haha

[Patents Hertz @ Jan 9th 2009 5:51PM]

At the end of the clip:
"That was bizarre..."

???????

[Don @ Jan 9th 2009 11:55PM]

they didnt wash their hands after touching the "P"

its male bathroom etiquette.

[Andre @ Jan 9th 2009 6:11PM]

Wow. this is hilarious. It's the last thing I expected when I refreshed my window. But its great!

[Flyy @ Jan 9th 2009 5:54PM]

LOL! Classic interview!
Hilarious!

[gonintendo @ Jan 9th 2009 5:51PM]

Hehe, Vaio Pee, a vaio and eee hybrid!

[NukeAssault @ Jan 9th 2009 5:53PM]

JT: "it fits in your pocket"

JF: "Whose pockets Paul Bunyans?"

[Fara @ Jan 9th 2009 5:53PM]

That was brilliant. Engadget has really stepped up the coverage this year.

[canjustin @ Jan 9th 2009 5:55PM]

that was the single best thing I;ve seen on engadget....so many great moments. I think josh should be on his show now,,,he could be the new andy rickter

[Jeremy K. @ Jan 9th 2009 5:56PM]

Way to go Josh... hilarious.

[Derry Quinn @ Jan 15th 2009 6:33PM]

I can't take your comment seriously with that picture beside it.

It doesn't look like you're the congratulating kind of person

[tomvalen @ Jan 9th 2009 5:56PM]

hahaha, great interview.

[Bassir @ Jan 9th 2009 5:57PM]

Aw man, I didn't want it to end.

Reminds me of a good time with my friends. Friends I don't see often.

[pete @ Jan 9th 2009 5:59PM]

who was the camera person? or persons?

[bernie16wb @ Jan 9th 2009 6:00PM]

That was actually pretty funny. Congratulations.

[Fanfoot @ Jan 9th 2009 6:00PM]

What they said. F'ing hillarious!

Like others have said, your CES coverage this year has been awesome!

[Devin @ Jan 9th 2009 6:08PM]

more please

[Nomi @ Jan 9th 2009 6:08PM]

You know when Jimmy closed it and held it in one hand, I went: "HOLY SHIT! THATS SO SMALL...YET ITS NOT"

[TheNewGuy @ Jan 9th 2009 6:09PM]

It's hilarious to see Fallon get choked up. You can see he's gasping for words.
He looks like he's got ADD. And i'm not joking. It'll be interesting to see him take over Conan's show.

[Kris120890 @ Jan 9th 2009 6:11PM]

No one can deny this years coverage of CES by engadget has been first class all week. Not a bad post at all. This vid tops it off. Brilliant.

[Michael Scrip @ Jan 9th 2009 6:38PM]

It's because of the double-wide Engadget HQ parked outside!

[Kris120890 @ Jan 9th 2009 6:40PM]

I know. I've been reading for two years.

[Jeremy K. @ Jan 9th 2009 7:26PM]

Been reading Engadget since 2005!

[russianhaxor @ Jan 9th 2009 6:18PM]

This is why i love engadget!

[Jon @ Jan 9th 2009 6:21PM]

Great stuff Mr Topolsky!! Very funny "interview".
I've never been a fan of Fallon's, but after seeing this I might actually check out his late show once it starts.

Engadget should do more stuff like this!

[AJ in the East Bay @ Jan 9th 2009 6:23PM]

Good one, Josh! I liked the whole "hold the VAIO like an iPhone" bit, hehehehe!!
