‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ brings back ‘Evolution of Mom Dancing’

If you enjoy watching Jimmy Fallon be incredibly ridiculous with guest stars, there’s a heck of a lot to like about his latest chapter of “The Evolution of Mom Dancing.” After all, it marks a real opportunity to see him shake his groove thing with First Lady Michelle Obama for the second time. If you remember back to a couple of years ago on “Late Night,” he managed to convince Obama to take part in the viral video then. He also later did a “Dad Dancing” video featuring Chris Christie, proving that physical comedy is not slanted one way or the other based on political party.

This dance premiered tonight on “The Tonight Show,” and it is just about as funny as the original version. It’s not necessarily something that will completely shock you into laughing, but if it is your cup of tea, you’ll find yourself smiling from ear to ear throughout. What sometimes goes unrecognized through some of these videos is just how great Fallon is at memorizing these routines alongside his guests. This is no easy task, even if they are likely being prompted about each move they are about to do right before getting into them.

Of course, now that we’ve seen this segment twice, Fallon probably has to come up with some other unique and crazy way to feature the First Lady in a viral video. You have to keep this stuff fresh, even if that is not always the easiest task in the world.

This has turned out overall to be a great week for late-night hosts making viral videos. Earlier in the week, James Corden stole the show without even doing anything, as Katie Couric played a brilliant prank on him in which a stunt double fell down a flight of stairs.
