Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey & The Roots sing "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

Backstage before the show, Jimmy, Mariah Carey, and The Roots grabbed some instruments you'd find in an elementary school classroom and stopped by the Late Night "Music Room" to sing Mariah's holiday classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Jimmy Fallon - wood block, tambourine, bass drum, kazoo
Mariah Carey - vocals
Questlove - wooden clacker w/ afro pick
Mark Kelley - Fisher Price xylophone
Kamal Gray - recorder
James Poyser - melodica
Captain Kirk - ukulele
Tuba Gooding Jr. - kazoo
Frank Knuckles - bongos
Black Thought - sleigh bells

I remember thinking he'd make a horrible late-night host and he's still not the best, but my God, he makes up for it by being adorable and endearing. ♥

asmallwonder 5th-Dec-2012 06:13 am (UTC)

sometimes his interviews make me cringe, but that's sort of true of all late night hosts right now. he can play the ~fan~ role a little too heavily though.

kamikashi 5th-Dec-2012 06:51 am (UTC)

he was really crap in the beginning, but hes gotten better. hes just too nice and a total fanboy for everyone, but i suppose that sets him apart. he makes celebs loosen up though with all his skits/games.

pindycindy 5th-Dec-2012 08:29 pm (UTC)

Oh it was painful to watch at first, he was shaking and I felt so bad for him. He brings me so much joy, it is just so joyful.

wickedwatch 5th-Dec-2012 06:59 am (UTC)

definitely. and he comes off as more genuine compared to the other hosts too.

beatlesluv 5th-Dec-2012 07:11 am (UTC)

I love him <3333

brucelynn 5th-Dec-2012 07:17 am (UTC)

same

IKR, I thought he was cute on SNL with Tina and with his singing, but then hated him after he started laughing all the time. I've gone back over to liking him with his show.

lillylilacs 5th-Dec-2012 08:54 am (UTC)

He is okay, but he seems to love his job so much and really is trying to improve that I can't hate. But if I am going to watch a show in this slot I am watching Craig Ferguson.

My mother on the other hand lovesss him. She really gets obsessed with such funny current pop culture people, like Cee-lo too.

mte, I thought he would flop hard, Chevy Chase style, but he's totally grown on me.

isthisdesire 5th-Dec-2012 06:05 am (UTC)

I've gone from completely hating Jimmy Fallon to tolerating him and maybe even...liking him.

noon 5th-Dec-2012 06:07 am (UTC)

i blame/credit the roots tbh

diosabellissima 5th-Dec-2012 06:12 am (UTC)

IDK, I mean, he's the one who got them on his show-- and was smart enough to pick them over some boring Kevin Eubanks type houseband. So, credit where credit's due.

shahoney 5th-Dec-2012 02:45 pm (UTC)

This.

tackyblue 5th-Dec-2012 12:59 pm (UTC)

Me too, but the show wouldn't be half as good without The Roots.

drkshdw 5th-Dec-2012 06:07 am (UTC)

is he going to do this with every pop star that blew out her upper register?

laurie_springs 5th-Dec-2012 06:54 am (UTC)

lmao

roxas39 5th-Dec-2012 07:10 am (UTC)

lol

jason350 5th-Dec-2012 08:12 am (UTC)

? Her upper register hasn't been blown out. Did you not see her singing at that Rockefeller event? She had no need to go all out when this was meant for fun. My goodness.

joliebelle 5th-Dec-2012 05:40 pm (UTC)

mte...mariah still has it

syntheses 5th-Dec-2012 06:49 pm (UTC)

adriqj46 5th-Dec-2012 06:07 am (UTC)

Adorable.

brokenseas 5th-Dec-2012 06:07 am (UTC)

I love how in these half of the Roots are totally deadpan and the other half are WAY into it.

glinter 5th-Dec-2012 06:07 am (UTC)

This was more tolerable than expected. Kind of like Jimmy Fallon himself.

ides_of_smarch 5th-Dec-2012 06:07 am (UTC)

omg that was so precious. :')

I usually watch Kimmel because I watch Nightline and then I'm usually too lazy to change the channel when it's over. And I do enjoy Kimmel.

But when I'm unlazy and I change the channel, I'm actually super fond of both Craigy Ferg and Fallon. I think that both of them have a really easy going personality that makes their interviews with the guests feel natural and not weird and awkward.
