Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Schoolboy Q, and Hollis performed their single “White Walls” on Jay Leno the other night and it was spectacular. I feel very privileged that I have had the opportunity to work with all four of these individuals in some capacity.

Jane Lynch appeared on Jay Leno earlier this week and spoke fondly about Cory Monteith.
So touching 🙁
It was revealed recently that Jimmy Fallon would replace Jay Leno on the Tonight Show when Leno retires in Spring 2014. But the question remained, who would fill Fallon’s shoes on Late Night? Well, it looks like that man is none other than Seth Meyers! Seth is by far one of my favorites from Saturday Night Live. I’m excited to see which direction he will take this show in, but I have no doubt at all that he won’t disappoint.

Today, Jay Leno confirmed the rumors that have been swirling for some time now – that he would be leaving the Tonight Show and that Jimmy Fallon would be coming in to fill those shoes. Spring 2014 is set for Leon’s departure after a 22-year run as host. Additionally, the Tonight Show will move back home to 30 Rock in New York leaving its Los Angeles home behind. Congratulations Jimmy! This is an incredible step for him in his career.
So…what will happen with ‘Late Night?’

I’m usually not the type of person to toss my Christmas spirit onto everyone and everything, but I am kind of…a closeted Christmas freak. I decorated the family tree this past weekend – half the ornaments were contributed by me because of elementary school projects and you know, other side projects of my own. The one-eyed Popsicle reindeer, knitted Sanrio ornaments, stuffed Koala bear, and an angel with my face on it? Oh yeah – the artificial family Christmas tree belongs to me except it was purchased by my father and it was the best present to come home to after that one day in fifth grade! Ain’t no thangggg. I even considered buying myself this mini “vintage-inspired” tinsel tree from Urban Outfitters for my home, but that idea kind of came and went.
Currently watching She & Him perform one of their songs off their holiday album on Leno and it is amazeballs.
I love peppermint Hershey kisses and
every time I return to school and the enormous ornamented Christmas tree is set up in the student center, my heart cries a little. Tears. of. burstful. joy. It’s glorious. There’s really no other way to describe it.
and…every once in awhile, it’s okay to have an obnoxious Christmas post too.
I’ve got a guilty mainstream artist crush on Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship.
I just caught myself blushing at his performance on Jay Leno. I always am left wondering how he looks so good in all of his performances, but I realized it’s because Sabi (the girl that sings in the song w/ him) just isn’t a very good performer.
He is dating Erin Fetherston. Hipster musicians… I can’t help it. My life is embarrassing.
So I forced myself to stay up tonight to catch Andy Grammer’s performance on Jay Leno and it was incredible! To this day, I can’t believe that I had the opportunity to see him two years ago in Santa Monica as a street performer. His CD is spinning on my Spotify every week. I have so much faith and hope for these kind of things and it’s the reason why I love what I do. I know that there are some people who have strong opposing views towards the music industry and that’s fine – to each his own. Call it me being naive, but I know what I know through my own experiences and that’s enough for me.
I know what makes me happy and I know when to be happy for others. So maybe there are some things about the music industry that are not right. That doesn’t mean that an artist didn’t work hard for where they are today. That doesn’t mean that they don’t put any passion into their work. There is always going to be something in the world that we aren’t going to be content with, but don’t try and take that away from musicians and artists.
Congratulations Andy. I can’t wait to see the success that is coming your way. You’ve really made it!
