HIPPING AND THE HOPPING WITH THE BIPPING AND THE BOPPING:  I happened to be flipping around the tv late Friday when Bill Cosby showed up on Jimmy Fallon's show and ended up talking to The Roots and reviving some North Philly/South Philly tensions. Cosby's cadence and timing, even now at the age of 75, remains a national treasure.

    Fallon's show is nice for providing bits that Jimmy _should_ be giggling through.

  2. How much do I love that the Roots did the "chocolate cake for breakfast" song for Cosby's intro? SO SO MUCH.

    Point of order from a Ray Charles fan: The song is actually "(Night Time Is) The Right Time"

    When he's close-talking Jimmy up against the tuba at the end of the first clip is when I lost it.
