- Oh, Hey Jimmy. Hey, what's up, Jimmy? How you doing? Everything's good in quarantine, you know, Yeah. How 'bout you? I'm just doing whatever
you're doing, you know? Well, I'm about to get
my 14th snack of the day - Ha ha. Relatable. (Pop sound) Hey everybody. How are you holding up? Uh, for me, It's a bit like this. (Audience 'Aww' sound) I tweeted that joke and it somehow made it to
the front page of Reddit, except they cut out the part
where I actually made the joke. So it just looks like I made
an emo tweet of my sad face. So that's great. On a related note I want to do a video where
I react to your submission. So if there's something
that you want me to see submit it to my subreddit R/unnamedfanbase or you can DM me on Instagram @Jarvis. Anyway, that was a roundabout way of saying that I hope you're doing well. It turns out that
self-isolation is not fun. (explosion sound) I've personally found it
difficult to motivate myself because every day seems
like "Groundhog Day". If "Groundhog Day" was a
movie where Bill Murray wakes up every morning to a global pandemic. All things considered though,
I don't have it too bad. I have a job that allows me to work from home and I'm able to keep in contact digitally with
friends and loved ones. Some of them are on a stick. (audience cheering) My heart goes out to all
the healthcare workers, grocery workers and
other essential workers who are out there risking their lives for our safety. You could call them heroes. If you ask me, go ahead. But who I'm really worried about in these difficult times is
our nation's true heroes. Celebrities. Celebrities are
the foundation of our society and they're some of the
hardest hit by this crisis because now they just have
to be like regular people. And that's tough. For example, Tom Brady who is a big fancy football
man had to relocate from his new England
mansion to a Florida mansion because he got a shiny new
millionaire football job. The problem is that his Florida mansion
is too close to the beach. What? Gross. He said that he could see
people from his backyard. The (beep) Speaking of the common folk, Justin Bieber tried to empathize with them on an IG live call with Kendall Jenner. But he says that he can't feel too bad 'cause he worked for what he had. - We can't feel bad for, you know, the things that we have. - Which is true. Justin Bieber shouldn't have to stand in line at the grocery store. He made "Baby". Now some people, and I don't
know who took issue with this. So Justin had to
apologize, but don't worry, billionaire puff daddy Diddy
came to Justin's rescue and assured him that the
Lord speaks through him? - Those are great words. I feel when I'm listening to you because I've known you
for such a long time. I hear the Lord speaking through
you when you speak nowadays - Thank you. - Because you know what
they say about Jesus. He got that yummy, yummy. And as if things couldn't get any worse Vanessa Hudgens of "High School Musical" and other things I presume, can't go to Coachella this year. So, I mean, it's, it's pretty rough guys. So they're forced to do
what the rest of us do which is post on social media
from our giant mansions. Wait, um. So I thought it would be fun to see how celebrities are coping in the end times. A quick disclaimer by the way, obviously I'm being a bit facetious. I, I, I know that even celebrities are
having a tough time, especially you know, worrying about the
safety of friends and family. But I do think the
current situation offers a unique perspective on fame, so yeah. I've split up the celebrities
into two categories. You've got celebrities who would rather be working right now, but can't. This includes Gal Gadot's
very strange "Imagine" video, which fun fact was posted 150 years ago. Time flies. Oh, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have completed some
Harry Potter Lego sets. So that's yeah, that's the whole, that's the whole TikTok. Good job guys. What else? Vanessa Hudgens can't go to Coachella, still processing that. But she also posted some TikToks with her fellow "High
School Musical" alumni, where they dance to "We're
All in This Together". Just like old times. Well, Vanessa didn't dance. She just, she just drank wine, but that's cool too. And on the other hand,
you have celebrities, many of which have daily
television shows who have decided to try working from home, but can they recreate
television magic remotely? In their house? Alone? With no studio equipment or crew? Kinda, the results are mixed. (Jimmy clapping) Okay, so this "Imagine" video. I'm sure a lot of us have already seen it, but in case you haven't,
Gal Gadot called on a bunch of her famous friends to sing
John Lennon's song "Imagine". And some of them said, yes. It's bad. Much has already been
said about the singing in this video and the
celebrities in this video. But, did you know there are other parts? I didn't and now that I do, it's worse. - Day six in uh, self quarantine. - This was on day six? You don't even have time to be crazy yet, the quarantine just started. It hasn't even been a week. You know this was a long time ago because they're still counting
the quarantine in days. I couldn't tell you how
many weeks it's been, let alone what day it is. - I predict a month/ - What even is today, babe, what is today? - [Sadie Kuwano] Saturday. - I couldn't have told you that. - I gotta say that these past few days got me feeling a bit philosophical. - It's been six days and you're already feeling philosophical? Well, fasten your invisible
seatbelt Wonder Woman, things are about to get
straight up Socratic. By the way, I don't
think the song "Imagine" really applies to the current situation. We're not at war, unless you count the
war against the virus. (cocking gun) - It doesn't matter who
you are, where you're from. We're all in this together. - Now that's a sentiment I can get behind. āŖ We're all- āŖ - Um, and I saw, I ran into this video of this Italian guy playing the trumpet. - Where's this going? - In his balcony, to all the other people who were locked inside their homes. And he was playing "Imagine", and there was something so powerful and pure about this video. - If you ran into something
that was so powerful, impart that upon us, please, don't do a bad impression of it. Like, if I loved the
Academy Award-winning, Korean-language film, "Parasite", I'm not going to go get a bunch of my American celebrity friends to re- create it there. They're doing it, aren't they? I mean, it's upsetting and true. Reading the subtitles is too hard, speak American. (laughing) - And he was playing imagine. And there was something
so powerful and pure. - Hang on, a man in virus-stricken Italy played his trumpet to entertain people during a nationwide lockdown. And your takeaway was the song choice? The touching part is that he's playing it to
make people feel better. That I don't think this
would have been any less heartwarming if he played "Sexy Back". - And it, it goes like this. - We know how "Imagine" goes, it's one of the most
famous songs of all time. Just say you want to sing it. Don't try to (censored) trick
us with your 'ums' and 'ahs' like this is an improvised video. You're about to include 30 celebrities. No, one's going to assume
you made this up on the spot. - āŖ Imaging there's no heaven āŖ - āŖ It's easy if you try āŖ - Okay. So she doesn't even try to explain what's about to happen? All that intro for her to just cut to Kristen Wiig for no reason? You coordinated dozens of the most famous celebrities on
the planet, the least you could do is tighten up
the intro a little bit. - Uh - So this is dumb, obviously. Most of the backlash
that it's gotten is due to it being tone deaf, both
musically and socially. It's two-tone deaf. It actually is quite moving to
listen to the original video of the trumpet player. But none of the reasons
that it's good made it into the celebrity video. For starters, this guy is a
excellent trumpet player and most of the celebrities are
not musical celebrities. Also, the reason it's
inspirational is because he's not doing this for attention. He's trying to cheer up the
community that he's a part of. Like, if my neighbor went outside and started
singing "Imagine", well, it would be a
bit pitchy. Sorry, Dan, but I'd be moved. Anyway, I like Gal Gadot. "Wonder Woman" was good. So, this "Imagine" video
teaches us that celebrities can be tone-deaf, but did you also know that they can be annoying
when they aren't? - When you put cheese on
your boyfriend's pasta. - Kristin Chenoweth is
a singer and actress. She's been in "Wicked" on Broadway, she's been in movies. Now, she's on TikTok and she's
armed with exactly one joke. - When you put cheese on
your boyfriend's pasta. (high note) - You see, the joke is
that she sings a high note. Get it? I don't, and it just keeps happening. (Kristin Chenoweth singing high notes) But at least Kristin Chenoweth
is attempting to entertain. Sometimes we don't even get that. Sometimes celebrities are bored
and they just want to share that feeling with the rest of us, which brings me back to
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas. The second, most powerful
couple in house Jonas. For those who are curious, the sigil of house Jonas is a promise ring that's burning up. Now that's what I call an SOS. I'm a sucker for a good pun. Pun alert. Pun police are here. I'm about to be punished. My favorite thing about them, is that on their TikTok, they'll just post these TikToks of their completed Lego sets. All of which, are seemingly
Harry Potter Lego sets and they add no additional
context whatsoever. Just like, Hey internet, we
did a Lego, now take care. And they've recently taken to
IG live to do some cooking. - Okay, one tablespoon. That's a good amount. - One tablespoon Wait, where are you reading that? - More like dinner is coming. So, there's a lot more where
that came from Jack Black, who we liked did a dance. That was fun. Jake Gyllenhaal took his shirt off. Not sure why. And Matthew McConaughey
wanted to set us at ease, but the look in his eyes has
to be scared for my life. He wants us to count on him
in the war against the rona. - It's an enemy that we all agree. We want to beat. (cocking gun) - Now transition to TV. Television production is still happening, which is cool and commendable actually, because there's a lot of non-famous people who work
in entertainment that benefit from having a stable job right now. In some cases, I'm not sure
the host of these shows want to be doing them. - You're very fun people. - When I asked on Twitter @Jarvis- always be plugging- who some of the worst celebrities
during quarantine were, a lot of you said Ellen, which is weird. Like why is everyone watching Ellen? And then I realized it was probably because she compared the lockdown to being in jail as a part of a larger
joke that I can't tell on YouTube, while inside
of her giant mansion. And now there's these report that some of Ellen's employees are upset and worried about their pay because she hired like another company to film
her show during quarantine. So like, whoa, okay. I guess Ellen sucks. But also, her show is really boring. So, let's just skip it. I will say that I tried to
make it through a few clips, but I couldn't ignore the
producer who was just standing outside of her glass house,
like a serial killer. So I figured I'd focus on a world I know a lot more about. Late-Night comedy, A.K.A the kings of
YouTube's trending page, A.K.A the Jimmys. I know some of these people
aren't technically named Jimmy but, yes they are. I watch Late-Night comedy for the majority of my life and I have a
soft spot for the form and a lot of the hosts. There's not really anyone I hate, but I definitely have my favorites. And there's been a lot of criticism levied at Late-Night
comedy for good reason. In fact, that's exactly what
I'll be doing right now. At first, I just assumed all of these shows were gonna to go on hiatus. That is until I saw this episode of John Oliver from what
appears to be the afterlife. Other than the fact that
there was silence where there would normally be laughter, which makes it a little weird, I found him to be a pretty present and engaging host despite this. And I've watched pretty much every episode that's come out since the quarantine. The next 'quarantine Jimmy'
I saw was Seth Myers, who released an episode of
his, a "Closer Look" segment from the most echo-y room in the world. - Hello everyone and
welcome to Late Night. - If there's one thing I've
learned from this pandemic, it's ironically, no one
on TV has a good camera. Like come on, the dude from
the "Tiger King" Aftershow is calling memes, may-mays - Mimi's or memmies or
whatever they're called. - And he has better
production quality than NBC? All that being said, I love Seth Meyers and he's a very good boy. Plus he's probably gotten
better equipment by now. Oh no, it's still not
good, but I love you, Seth. So the Daily Show's
Trevor Noah, no relation, seems to have a pretty good camera. He can be seen here talking
to excellent comedian, Jaboukie Young-White, also no relation. In an interesting twist, instead of obviously
reading from cue cards like a lot of the other hosts, he's adopted more of a fun
YouTube-y editing style. - Yeah. This is going to be like, Hey, Mr. Doctor, did you get that Lego mask we sent you? Yeah, I did, but I built a helicopter (imitating helicopter noises) - Celebrities are just like us. Well, me. Celebrities are just like me (imitating helicopter noises) Anyway. All of these
quarantine Late-Night shows have a similar structure. Everyone is at home. Everyone is incorporating their family. Many are having their
kids draw the title cards of their show, because even in a pandemic, all of Late-Night is the same. I wish I had time to cover
Conan, Colbert, and even Kimmel, and I guess, James Corden is
even technically named Jimmy. But if you think about
it, but sorry, James, my hands are tied. Because, what I really want to talk about is the king of Late-Night. The Fallon of house
Jimmy, first of his name, I presume, Khaleesi of the party game, breaker of jokes, father of Justin Timberlake. It's Jimmy Fallon. Did you get it also to
game of Thrones jokes? What is this? 2019? I do miss 2019. It was nice. There was outside. Jimmy Fallon gets a lot of (censored), but having watched him on SNL and his Late-Night show, before he took over "The
Tonight Show", I was a fan. I wasn't that into the party games, and I, you know, he could use some work on it's interview skills, but I never thought his laugh was fake. And, and that's how, you
know, I'm a real fan. In preparation for this video. I watched some of the At-Home
Edition of "The Tonight Show" and it's something else. It seems like every Late-Night
host has found a way to adapt their show to the at-home context, except Jimmy. This first clip is from
the intro to the show, so it's the first thing you see. Jimmy opens it up with
his adorable daughters and it seems like it should
be charming, but it isn't. - You focused? - Yeah - His kids look like this is take 5,000. He's clearly using them for content. - Are you happy? - Yeah. - Hmm, I don't buy it. And yeah, his daughters are cute, but not against their will. - You look like you're serious? Oh, I didn't see your face- What? - I know, but, but you know what? - What? - I'm pretending to because I just want to - What was that? Oh right. Your child isn't a performer and she doesn't know how to project. So I guess we the audience, will assume she said something interesting because why would you edit that out? It's not like this is entertainment. - Hey guys, we have a great show tonight. (Jimmy claps once) A surprise from Wolf
Farrell and Kristin Wiig - Am I intruding on something? There's just so low energy. - Also we have Dua Lipa whose album, Future, "Future Nostalgia" - A lot of this is a single take, because normally the show
isn't heavily edited, but man, it just feels so ramble-y - And um, what else do we have? - What else, What else? Is this a standup set? They're definitely cutting stuff out because they flashed the
screen white to draw attention to the editing, but they don't edit it in a way that makes it
any more compelling. Okay. Now we're back and his kids are even more miserable. This is the perfect visual representation of what it feels like to watch this show. The kids aren't even
smiling in the thumbnail. I get it. It's hard to turn it on when
there's like a lot of sorrow and grief in the world, but maybe don't turn it on. Maybe the show is just
such a big operation that it's impossible to
stop, but it's kinda sad because clearly Jimmy
doesn't want to be here. - And her charity is, gimme
that one? Focused again? - Yes - Oh no. I feel like she's
getting in trouble after this. And I don't like it. - Unicef.org. We love Dua Lipa. - This isn't fun to watch. I don't feel like I'm escaping from reality right now. - Let's go to some, some
online jokes right now. Here we go. - Thank God. Some monologue jokes. That ought to lighten the mood. (intense drum music) - Welcome to the Tonight Show (Jarvis laughing) - That could have been uh, tighter. Maybe just start the clip with him talking because I did not need
this, this single second of Jimmy Fallon awkwardly smiling. Who's editing these videos? Jimmy Fallon's kids? - Yeah. - Tonight marked, the start of Passover, it's a holiday that celebrates the miracles of Moses
like, parting the Red Sea, and finding toilet paper at Target. - Hey Jimmy sell the joke, my man. He just deflates at the punchline. Does he not know that the punchline is the funny part? Hey, maybe it's a taste thing. I love when jokes are optimized for speed. - It's a big week with
Passover starting tonight and Easter on Sunday. If your family celebrates
both, be sure to pick up a pack of the all-new
Gefilte Fish Peeps. - Oh God, this hurts. Jimmy, you can just tell us
if you're having a bad time. Blink twice, if you're in trouble. By the way, we are two minutes into this video. Let's look at the comments. Jimmy is extremely likable in this format. He is? - This should be great. Opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, is going to perform live on Easter. - Hang on. Do you really think this should be great? You a big Bocelli-head? - This should be great. Opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, is going to perform live on Easter from an empty cathedral in Italy, or his living room if he changes the background on his zoom - Let's watch that again, but pay close attention to the time after the punchline and before
the start of the next joke. That space is where dreams die. - (slowed) Background on his zoom. - I know what you're thinking. Yes, that is a giant
slide behind Jimmy Fallon, because nothing says, I'm not having fun, than being next to a giant slide So they tweeted this
next joke, and it's how- I think someone sent
it to me on Instagram- but it's how I ended up
watching this whole thing. But when I saw this clip out of context, I thought to myself, this is the saddest monologue joke of all time - So the Panera is
launching Panera grocery, where they're now selling
basic grocery store items. And this is cool- (Jimmy laughing) - This has gotta be fun, he loves it. - It's not even that funny, I don't know why I'm laughing. Sometimes you just need
a joke to make you laugh. - That's the most, that's the saddest thing I've ever heard Jimmy Fallon say. Jimmy - I saw that Panera is
launching Panera grocery, where they're now selling basic
grocery store items. (Jimmy laughing) - Okay, he's back. After a brief peak into the darkness our affable king has returned. - This is cool about the checkout. (Jimmy laughing hysterically) - This is an emotional roller coaster. I feel so manipulated. This joke better be good now. There's been way too much buildup. - This is cool, about the checkout, they put all your items in a bread bowl. - That's what we were building up to? - This is cool about the checkout, they put all your items in a bread bowl. (sentimental piano music) - Oh Jimmy. I think he broke. Wait. Let's look at these items. Someone has clearly
Photoshopped Clorox wipes into super-clean wipes. And that's a paper towel roll. The perspective is really
tripping me out here, because that's either a very
tiny roll of paper towels or a giant bread bowl. I think I get it now, bread bowls are hilarious. (sentimental piano music) (Jimmy laughing) It's not over. He's still going. - Where were we? At, uh. Chowder in a bread bowl or something? In Boston. - [Nancy Juvonen] Oh yeah. The airport - It was the airport. - Remember bread bowl? In airport? (Jarvis and Sadie laughing) I miss bread bowl. Sometimes you just need
a joke to make you laugh. - That's a monologue, everybody. - (imitating Jimmy Fallon)
That's a monologue, everybody. He's so happy to be done. Just look at him. All right, Jimmy, kudos for
powering through, I guess. Luckily it's not all bad, some celebrities I've enjoyed are John Krasinski in his videos, what a cutie. Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, who I absolutely adore, have a podcast called "Staying In", that can keep you
company and help you cope with living in isolation. Finally, I'd be remiss if
I didn't mention Cardi B, who is frankly going off right now. - Golly me, lemme tell
y'all (censored) something. - (imitating Cardi B) Coronavirus. As for the celebrities that I've roasted in this video, I appreciate that they're trying to entertain the masses, but some of them are just not good at doing that alone. They might need help from other creatives in those departments, which is fine. Like for example, this Jimmy Fallon talking to a mirror bit, where he's never looking
in the right place. Not even once. - Hey, what's up Jimmy? How you doing? - Which, not to toot
my own Italian trumpet, is something that is so cool about internet creators because we've had to self-produce this entire time. (sentimental piano music) And it's interesting to
see traditional media playing our game, but it's okay if like none of us are at our best right now because this is like, I don't know exceptional times. I actually I think this is encouraging because we don't always
see such a humanizing view of celebrity. Like the glitz and the glam obscures their innate human fallibility. And, and then they're
held up on a pedestal when in reality say it with me now, celebrities are just like us. Kinda. That's the video, everybody. (static) Thanks to Barbaranegrao for sending me a message on Instagram and sending me the Jimmy Fallon tweet. I have no idea if I'm saying that right. If you want me to butcher your name send me a message on
Instagram and I might. You know? I might. I am coming to you live from my living room because all the power is out in my house except for one outlet, and I don't know why. So, I'm going to now
try to upload this video with my phone.
It's pretty funny to see these big-time celebrities struggle with video quality, lighting, and audio compared to a lot of Youtubers, who are supposedly bottom-of-the-barrel.
That said, I feel kind of bad for Jimmy Fallon. Dude is losing it.
I never thought Iād feel so bad for Jimmy Fallon, jesus...
Were they ever exciting to begin with though?
Someone please link the post on r/meirl. I need to read those comments!
In times like these we need someone to inspire us, a relatable role model who reminds you that, while it may be hard staying in your million dollar mansion with 30 million dollars in your bank account having to order stuff online like a peasant, everything will be alright. If we believe in ourselves, the virus will go away
The late night videos need Jarvis' gf in the "studio audience". I laughed so much harder at the bread bowl in airport because I forgot she was there and she started to laugh.
"Sometimes you need a joke to make you laugh." Jimmy is truly roughing it lol
