  1. They should rename the show Late Night w/ The Legendary Roots crew featureing a couple nervous interviews and an endless number of shitty jokes by Jimmy Fallon.

  4. Jimmy’s not stupid, he knows the only difference between each of these late night shows is the band, and he has the best and most recognizable one.

  7. If you like Suzanne Vega you NEED to check out this track I did over a beat that samples “Tom’s Diner.” You can listen to it by clicking on my name and streaming/downloading it 100% free on the left side of the page. The track is called “On the Corner” and is featured on my debut “A Walk In My Shoes…” mixtape. 2dopeboyz NEEDS to stop sleeping on me.

  8. Love the roots, but not a fan of Jimmy Fallon. There wasn’t much applause because it wasn’t Justin Beiber performing or some other wack artist that the mass market loves.

  13. this feels like it was a rehersal performance….(low lighting, fallon wasn’t wearing a suit, its an old song, normally these people perform to promote a new single)….so im guessing the people that were clapping were crew and not a full audience.

  23. he said “our crew is going bonkers right now” at the end so that more than explains the applauds
