Our very own Josh Topolsky will
once again be invading America's airwaves tonight from the set of
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and you know he'll be showing off another hot new toy. (What could it be?) Tune in on your local NBC station at the times listed below, let us know how he's doing in comments, and make sure to include #joshtops in your tweets!
Oh, and if you missed JT and Jimmy get silly with the Pre back in March (or you just want to relive it), the video's after the break.

I'm more likely to hate Jimmy Fallon for associating with engadget.
Josh, love your writing but you should work on your posture!
Jimmy Fallon is quite possibly the worst host in late night history. Instead of having celebrities on he has this dude from Engadget? What a moron! I can't wait to see him fail at this like he did as a stand up comic, actor and as a human being over all.
Memo to Jimmy:
Never, ever, ever interrupt a geek and change the subject when he's in the middle of saying "THE COOLEST PART IS......"
Thanks,
Geek nation
I thought the first go-round was excellent and hope for the same.
I don't think the iPhone 3GS is that great a gadget to bring though. It looks and operates exactly the same as the other iPhones so it's tough for that to be an exciting thing to show off. I think it's a great phone, but I don't think the upgrade is easy to show on TV and get people excited over.
Personally, I'm hoping that it's something else.
Josh, please think about your posture this time. It'll make you come off so much better.
I noticed that too.
By the way, other random observation: both those chicks were DQ'd on the intro. Amanda Peet for not having enough respect to remain standing to shake his hand, and the other clown for not even getting out of his @)!&%!~* chair. Biatches.
Wear the red pants Josh!
Again? Wow.
Why did Palm have the Pre on Jimmy Fallon way back in March? Marketing fail?
The iPhone 3GS is coming out right now, and it will be on TV right now.
So you guys have a little thing for this Fallon fellow, eh?
Slight resemblance to a pederast... just sayin'
If Josh wants anyone to see him, tell him to go on Ferguson.
That guy is the biggest douche ever to grace my TV screen. Nothing he does is even funny, he just acts like the class clown the whole time and grins stupidly at his own jokes. Monkey noises, yay!
No one watches Furgeson. What a waste on an apperance.
Ferg > Fallon.
It's going to be the Sony Ericsson SATIO (IDOU), i don't really think that they going to present the iphone 3gs only to show that it does now MMS, "copy cut and paste", has more 1 megapixel, stereo bluetooth and video recording.
SATIO as
12MP with Xenon flash plus video light (iphone 3gs 3.15MP and not even a LED light)
VIDEO CALL(never understand why USA never used this feature) (iphone as no video call not even with the primary camera)
360 x 640 pixels, 3.5 inches screen (iphone as 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches)
MMS? yes since 2002 with the T68 (iphone comes 7 years late)
Anyway, hope him talks on the show about Satio or other great phone than the iphone
I hope you do good tonight.
I love Jimmy Fallon and his show. So cool that he has the Roots as his house band.
What about Alaska time? engadget sucks
Ummm...Zune HD...helllooooo of course
As if that shows was not bad enough already, this dork has to go on again.
Man, I really like jimmy, but his show is so full of BORING geeks. After josh's disastrous last visit on the show (the pre episode) why would they have him back??
This is gonna be like a car accident, you don't want to watch it ,but we will ....God help us.
Am I the only one holding out for the Magic?
I am holding out for any Android phone over the iPhone or pre. I want it to look cool of course, so that ugly one from Samsung (i think it was Samsung) is out of the running.
Juan G the only moron i see here is you..
Shave and a Haircut, please Josh, it's important for public appearances.
If he's showing off Iphone 3.0 then he's a total shill.
I love Josh as much as the next guy, but nothing is worth subjecting myself to Jimmy Fallon
You wound me, sir.
Why don't we have a monthly vote on what gets whored out on Fallon's show...
(of course it'd all end up being Apple products given the audience here)
You know, I just don't get why people sit and whine and bitch about this.
THIS IS A GADGET SITE
to use "old" lingo, CONSUMER ELECTRONICS. Note the word "consumer in there"
if we are truly gadget nerds, we eat sleep breathe these cool electronic devices that we love so much. And you know what? A big part of that industry is marketing and advertising. It simply wouldn't exist without it. The could not exist if advertising for it did not occur.
And yes, companies have joint marketing ventures. Engadget is owned by weblogs, inc, which is owned by AOL, which is operated by Time Warner. NBC is owned by GE and Vivendi. Of course there are promotional deals going on, both of those companies own hundreds of subsidiaries that have cross links. That's just business dude, nothing wrong with it.
And you guys who think Josh is being paid by Apple to do this are just ignorant tools. I'm sure he's getting paid for his time to appear - it's his JOB. Do you go to work all day for free? I don't expect Josh to either. But if you think he gets paid some exorbitant amount or paid by Apple or whatever, you just have no clue of how the world works.
Josh isn't a fanboy. Wait, yes he is actually. He's a fanboy of COOL GADGETS. Just like me. And you.
I don't get why people sit on here and say "oh he looks like a douche" and shit like that. The guy seems like a pretty real, nice guy to me. Oh because you don't agree with every single opinion that he has? You hate him for it? You have never had a difference of opinion with a friend or family member? Does it make you hate them for it if they prefer something else than you? Man, these guys are people, not some nameless machines or something. I challenge all haters to listen to the podcast, and see that the editors are actual, normal, smart people.
Dude is living the dream. What real gadget nerd wouldn't want his job? I say mad props to all you guys at Engadget, and keep up the great work.

You talking to me?
Sort of. I was at first replying to the fact that you have to call promo'ing a new gadget on Fallon as "whoring out", but decided to just comment on the whole discussion in this post in general.
Guess what! He is showing the iPhone 3G S. I would have never guessed.
A tad harsh.
Is there a way I can set NBC to :not#apple ?
FAIL..HORRIBLY!!!
Josh was only on for what seemed like 2 minutes this time.
