The clip also features Drew Carey, Paul Scheer, and Penny from The Big Bang Theory, who for some reason I totally want to bang, though only when she’s not dressed all retarded like she is in this video.

Here’s Weak & Powerless, which aired on Jimmy’s show. The Audio Perv has a clip of Imagine that played during the credits. After those two songs, the band also performed Passive (with some alternate lyrics), and Judith.

The band could be heard soundchecking in the lot throughout the evening, performing Weak And Powerless and Imagine, over and over, obviously wanting to sound their best climbing out of their hiatus directly onto a live national broadcast. Oddly enough, or perhaps obviously enough, the two “bonus” songs that followed were the highlights, and the band seemed to have a little less pressure on their shoulders as they viciously lunged in.

The first verse of Passive featured a nod to new dad Trent Reznor (thanks Anon & commenters). We dug up a recording for you, so hear for yourself:

Trent just had a baby
the doctor tells me
I just can’t believe it
Ever the optimistic one
I’m sure of his ability
to become a wonderful daddy

We’re looking forward to seeing the band return to the big stage next month. See you there.

P.S. Check out this awesome photo of Maynard with The Shatner that Chris McLaughlin (a PR dude who was there with the latter) took backstage.

The old ’80s pop-rock crooner sat in with The Roots tonight during Fallon’s show, and played a few songs from the new Huey Lewis & The News album, Soulsville, along with a few classics. Sure, most late-night shows are complete wastes of time (earlier tonight, Skwerl and I stood in an outdoor crowd and watched Jimmy Kimmel stumble through the mundane basement-Leno humor he calls a show for 90 minutes to see APC), but every so often a little bit of weirdo magic happens. And when it does, we’ll bring it to you.

I was amazed to find the actual clip as funny sober as Jeremy’s re-enactment was while tripping balls on glowing booze that tasted like cat piss.

Then I saw the clip of Mark Wahlberg on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. When Jimmy asks Wahlberg what he thought about the skit, he doesn’t seem to have a sense of humor about it, threatening to break Samberg’s big nose. In fact he promises to fly out to New York to track him down and kick his ass.

As much as I’d love to see Andy Samberg get his big stupid nose broken, It still wasn’t enough to get me to watch Saturday Night Live. But today I hit YouTube to see if it delivered. I skimmed through clips of Tina Fey, Sarah Palin, Josh Brolin, and Alec Baldwin, all being sorta maybe funny, and then I got to the clip where Wahlberg, seemingly committed to fulfilling his promise, confronts Andy Samberg backstage:

The ‘Wahlberg Talks To Animals’ skit did it right: It was funny, didn’t milk the gag, didn’t go on forever. The staged confrontation backstage was the opposite, typical SNL, a diagram explaining why I don’t bother to watch the show anymore.

Oh well.
