Jimmy Fallon reading rainbow

[ciao614]

Hey guys if you want more of a great Jim Morrison impression search for Night before Christmas Doors and see what comes up! It's a riot!

[ciao614]

OMG Imagine being married to Jimmy! I'd have him do impressions every night for me!!

[JumpingJazZCat]

Jimmy Fallon is fucking sick on impressions. Jaw-dropping. 

[SportstalkwithMac]

Holy crap that is a 10 out of 10 Jim Impression.

[TheSupremeGenius]

They even got together all of the original musical equipment and instruments - a notable feat!

[pmonstermom]

Jim and the gang are laughing out loud, from wherever they are...BRILLIANT piece Mr. Jimmy Fallon!

[jetbirdzme]

Fallon totally NAILED this one

[demonicalise]

I'm a HUGE fan of THE DOORS,and this shit is awesome Haha...

He sounds just like Jim!!!

[caretwentynine]

This is the best ever. Fallon Nails It!

[maryk0505]

This could have actually been a Doors song. How perfect!!!

[2much2do56]

Amazing camera work and the set was incredible too -- great authentic design reflecting the acid rock era ambience of the late 60's and early 70's.

[williamkimbler]

The real irony here, Jim’s favorite pas time was reading.

[ikosabre]

It really sucks that this is the closest I will ever get too see Jim alive. Great impression

[ikosabre]

I'm so jealous

[Rolco64]

Thanks for this awesome post! Looking back, Reading rainbow sounds like a Doors piece. They flawlessly recreated the Ed Sullivan set!

[2much2do56]

"Good night moon, good night stars, good night air, good night noises everywhere!" Unbelievable. I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't actually an old film clip of Jim Morrison with the Doors taken from some obscure performance on the Ed Sullivan Show from the past. Brilliant writing and an incredible performance! Jimmy Fallon is so talented. Truly gifted.

[ohhjohnny10]

I saw this live, it was SICK. All of us in the audience were like, "Who the hell is this?!!" And then we realized it was Jimmy, and it blew our minds. He is truly a ridiculously talented guy, and hasn't let any of his success go to his head. Genuinely the nicest person in show business.

[luisitolindo]

When The Music Is Over!!!!! genius

[thejesus666]

homie looks like a tired joey ramone.

[SHSkeip47]

THIS IS AWESOME

[Keewaf]

Being a huge fan of the Doors, I have to admit this is really fking amazing!

[grundycenterboy]

hilarious potato in his leather pants.

[grundycenterboy]

hilarious potato in his leather pants.

[Jennifer8904]

pretty good!

[MsDoors33]

KICK ASS

[TheFromagee]

brilliant. cheers, fallon. your best work ever right there.

[xTkAx]

When it gets to 1:07 click here: 2:07

[GuyWithGuitars1]

I had no idea Fallon was such a talented guy. I haven't watched an episode of SNL since the Eddie Murphy days. I'm old. This is hilarious!

[angeliyo1981]

fuck you jimmy fallon,i hate you motherfucker you are a bastard imposteur.respect to jim morrison.

you are a shit no more..

[giraffekaraoke]

@angeliyo1981 Are you kidding? He was amazing. It was so spot on. Stop trolling, and go fuck yourself.

[civlyzed]

@angeliyo1981 yeah well, that's like...your opinion, man...I thought it was fucking hilarious!

[angeliyo1981]

i hate you motherfucker you are a bastard imposteur.respect to jim morrison.

you are a shit no  more.

[mzfiercedg]

BULDGE!!! that just made it

[944s2tg5]

Drum Piece here eeirily sounds like the Beatles' 'Tomorrow Never Knows'...

[rh741]

this is pretty sick XD

[EvoTheOne]

I agree it's most like When The Musics Over. .. lots of similarities. Jimmy: good night moon, good night stars... Jim: very soft, very near... Jimmy says butterflies and Jim says butterfly. Similar lyric structure in both. Bravo Jimmy!

[jonathan401]

Hats off to Jimmy for this impersonation, borrowing from 'When the Music's Over' from what I can hear..

[BloodShott22]

Doors<3



[Evster2012]

"Kermit the Frog awoke before dawn/He put his boots on/He took a page from the magic coloring book and he/WALKED ON DOWN THE HALL/And he came to a door/Gordon? Yes Kermit?/ It's not easy being green!!"

[Evster2012]

VERY impressive performance. He friggin nailed it!! Now Jimmy, do Robert Plant singing the theme to Sesame Street!!! :D

[danlegroulx]

Yeah Zip it Scootertits.... Bow to the legend that is Fallon...

[scootertweaks]

@danlegroulx I don't think you can read. I was poking at the way it was placed on youtube, not the vid itself. Good god tards, LOOK!

[jryseinfld]

I hate you scooterteats

[scootertweaks]

@jryseinfld Well I'm ok with you hating me. This was all in fun. I love the video. I don't care how it was placed here, it was and that's what's up!!! What I said was all in fun and so unrealistic. You all have too much time to play on here and complain...

[sammcrawford1]

And yes, scooterTweaks I called you scooterteats on purpose. There's no autocorrect for wit, my friend.

[sammcrawford1]

Yo, scooterteats, suck it...

[sammcrawford1]

@TeeTee33 exactly, man!!! It's an amazing video(not quality wise, sorry) but the mam truly has talent. He even stuffed the heck out of those leather pants... Really does Ole Jim proud... Lol

[scootertweaks]

I like the video, and yes it's kinda like old school film, BUT REALLY! REALLY? REALLY. REALLY? You're going to video off an ipad, REALLY? Then mess up the description, come on, REALLY? I feel like my vagina is shedding, and falling out! It's like when my phone dies, or looses signal, it's your fault! I just want to sit here and watch some youtube without all the stupidity! Thanks sammcrawford1 for making this both great and ruined all together.

[underlinedbluetext]

fucking.... sick....

[liltmoden]

awsome



[jwawa14]

jimmy be proud of you jimmy

[BeyondAllEnds]

The lyrics even parody jim's writing style, it's epic

[XFlyboy649X]

very good job all around!

[zephead233]

awesome

[IGotARight]

Not only the best impression so spot-on of Jim Morrison, but also he beats out Derek Smalls ha ha

[JGarcia658]

Incredible stuff.  The musicians are amazing too!

[MrTheslyFox]

Jimmy Fallon needs to join the doors

[Teetee33]

Noticed that NBC has been pulling this one. Hope this clip sticks around a while. Not sure what their deal is. I mean, the airwaves are supposed to belong to the American people, so why can't this be shown on YT? Everything else is. Dopes.

[KiaraMonet151]

Mmm, Nice Penis! :p

I Would LOVE To See Jimmy Naked! ;)

[bakerjf]

This might be the best JM impression period.

[sammcrawford1]

Yo, ImperiumDouche... I've explained... It was an accident.

Yes, I effed up the description. Please state something even more obvious.

[Zellps0]

The Indian....in the cupboard.

[2496729]

I plotzed! This is High-larious!

[Ibringthetruth1]

Lavar Burton would have done it better as Kunta Kenta.

[MackTuesday]

This could almost have been a Doors song.

[TheFlombar]

holy hell, he is channeling Jim Morrison from the grave.

[24gbus]

A lot of people talk bad about Jimmy Fallon. You could say whatever you want the guy is talented. From this performance to his Bob Dylan. He's good. I don't ever see Jay Leno or Letterman pulling stunts like these.

[valerielorrainchavez]

@24gbus hiiii gbussss

[saccredtwin]

Fallon is a legend.

[annamarie4867]

This video totally changes what that show was for us people who remember it. Jimmy knows how to make things epic :)

[dmreeoogdaq]

ALBUM!  TOUR! NOW!!!

[georgetate]

AWESOME

[georgetate]

I'm not a huge Doors fan but Fallon's performance was awesome---sounds so close to being morrison

[Casanova742]

That was pretty awesome!!

[nugun889]

Jim Morrison didn't actually die, he moved to New York and became a comedian and late night show host.

[believer2005]

Simply mindblowing parody and impression of the great Jim Morrison. The rest of the band he says were musicians that were chosen and made to look like the band. INCREDIBLE!!!

[ImperiumDeus]

doe an amalng impression?

Is your schedule so packed that you can't spell check an 18 word description to keep yourself from sounding like a retard?

[MRFARFOLITIS]

Both The Doors and Reading Rainbow are in my memory database, so this was a very cool blending of important elements in pop culture for me. are very much in my

[wangson]

sounds just like jim!

[SarBear4Ryan]

Definitely one to rival Barry Gibb :P

[dorium03]

people who are saying Jimmy has talent now obviously haven't been paying attention. Jimmy has been the shit for years dating back to SNL

[Moks4114]

@EvoTheOne thanks bro

[MEpianist]

I was obviously hoping for the Lavar Burton show

[ravager48]

@MEpianist If that would have happened the building would have exploded from too much awesomeness!!

[gtz1100kmf]

I'm a big doors fan.....Even though its a spoof I thought Fallon does the best Jim impression I have scene in ages

[Slaprougefun]

Suddenly Jimmy Fallon seems a lot hotter!

[EvoTheOne]

@ Moks4114When the Musics Over. But a tad like LA Woman too.

[Moks4114]

was this an actual doors song?

i now it was the reading rainbow theme

but i think theres a doors song that sounds like this song

[BmoreBusker]

@Moks4114 dude no

[rickcain2320]

Kinda makes you wonder if the Doors were actually a good band if they can be so easily imitated.

[PCHDX]

@rickcain2320 If a band has something that can be imitated it means that they are unique because in order for the joke of the parody to work it has to be something that relates to something we all know. If someone were to, for example, parody a band that sounds like a billion other bands you wouldn't be able to link it to anything specific, therefore the joke wouldn't be funny. Get it?

[rubbersole79]

Fallon's a helluva singer. He could dominate anytime he wanted to.....

[bushyfsm]

This was the best late nite skit ever!

[rmachio]

yeah. fallon is the best late night guy since carson. and maybe dave in the late 80s - early 90s.

aside from how funny this clip is. it's also a pretty awesome imitation of the doors.

[saguaroboy]

Jimmy Fallon has matured into comic genius. His musical parodies are the best I've ever seen- and I'm an old dude.

[maldicientin]

Never knew Fallon to have any talent at all until I saw this one

[underlinedbluetext]

@maldicientin i keep trying to tell people this. the guy is an unbelievable talent.

[jon91ela]

Yeah this is good. Real good.



[Audree59]

Fallon is a pure genius

[saybozert]

This wins on many levels. Puts me in the mind of the "Blues Brothers" principle- sometimes when you aim for caricature, you hit tribute.

[mrfunnyman99]

Jimmy does great impressions of singers.Check ou this Neil Young.

[garebear75]

Awesome. Jimmy nailed it!

[dennisg69]

It is NOT ok to shoot video of your tv and post it to Youtube!

Bad... BAD!!!

[Ninjas2040]

is* that

[Ninjas2040]

The irony of this video if that the bad quality on it actually makes it look more authentic to being an old 70s video version of it then the nice looking actual aired version of this. :) Which just adds to it being kick ass.

[zerogeisha]

This is why Jimmy Fallon is f***ing amazing. He really made that song sound like a Doors song. "I can fly twice as high" - YEAH!!

[divxav]

THE SCHOOL BUS IS CALLING US ...

[a1b1c2d352]

This is so good it's "beyond category" ....

[panoramachange]

@Zerivaan I have ears...that can't stand the voice of Jim Morrison. Props again to Jimmy Fallon for letting me enjoy music I normally wouldn't.

[borgetc]

This just makes me break out in a serious sh**t eatin' grin everytime I see it! It's so brilliant I'm at a loss for words and that's pretty unlike me....check out the young Neil Young with guest Bruce doing "Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith - equally brilliant!

[kb5yty1]

As you can see by the name (yes that is actually my name) I took notice!!! Jimmy Fallon does a hell of a job here!!!!

[luisitolindo]

Hahahahaha who is this guy!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!

[AtTaCkOfThErEtArDs17]

He sounded EXACTLY like Jim Morrison! This was amazing!

[rhcpdave]

Ray, John and Rob even look spot on. Fallon is a closet genius

[TheKhaibear]

Good lord. I've been a Jimmy Fallon fan from the beginning but this is absolutely amazing. He's brilliant !!

[JSUN1978]

FANTASTIC! Watched this a few times over the last couple days.. Gooooooood Shittttt Jimmy!!!

[panoramachange]

This is the only time I've ever enjoyed the Doors...

[sirendelaluna]

@panoramachange Sounds like your lost to me.

[Zerivaan]

@panoramachange I wish I could vote you down infinity times, you have no ears

[BaconatorJudgemntDay]

two people died in a paris bathtub

[Teetee33]

Forget Scott Stapp--the Doors should take Fallon on the road with them the next time they need a singer. Morrison would be proud!

[ScillaSteed]

Not only is this a great Jim Morrison...but singing theme song from Reading Rainbow?! Can I just say AWESOME!!! 

[Ledzepchick79]

AMAZING

[ColbyVids]

i allways liked jimmy fallon but i fuckin love the doors so this was fukn awsome to watch

[sloburnnn]

I have a new found respect for the talent of Mr. James Fallon.

[steveshort4steven]

Oh man this is actually really funny

[lquidgrl]

that wig is so horrible LOL but good impersonation!!

[JoyGrenade]

The impression is so perfect it's scary.

[kkeegan32]

this is the funniest darn thing i've seen in like forever,!

[therealtuvok]

brilliant

alll i can say

[ShopifyBob]

2 people so far can't read the rainbow.

[farrlinn]

Dude, he is really talented!

[Nottafannabamma]

Jimmy was on heroin during this performance

[iplaydrums18]

Jimmy did a great job

[peraginejim]

The stage set is from the Ed Sullivan appearance of "Light My Fire", visible here at about 50 secs in. youtube.com/watch?v=X3Q9t-nfTV­g&feature=related Killer Job!

[DionysisMaenad]

This was brilliant. I loved how he riffs "Goodnight Moon" in there. CLASSIC!

[drugchan]

AMALNG!!

[TheVeil80]

@drugchan I AGREE, AMLNG!!!!!!

[careless1able]

wow!

[shirinehossaini]

I LOVE it! He does a great job!!! :-)

[ps3ralleuc]

So great. Sounds like Morrison

[stefymarty]

Has an element of Peace Frog in it too

[markd325]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!

[memorris93]

Oh my god. This is freaking perfect.



[mellitrom629]

if anything this sounds like when the music's over

[3Storm]

Amazing

[simonpeek37]

Great job! Great stage! Great costumes. Im fairly certain the band isn't actually playing. Drummer does a get job acting the part, but the keys and guitar is off. No...not the original band for whoever asked. Jimmy is singing though.

[crazyartfreak]

genius



[southerngal81]

This is so great!

[pistachio0891]

If anyone wants to see that Jimmy was going off of from The Doors, incredible impersonation!

/watch?v=m8MeU4qHMEg

[shandi411]

Not only is Jimmy spot on, but the band is spot on with the music, too. As someone else said - EPIC!

[shannieannie]

this. is. epic. i heard this on the radio this morning, and before they said it was jimmy fallon, i had NO idea!!! he's SPOT ON!!!! :)

[therealtuvok]

Ray M used to play a Vox continental and a rhodes bass piano. Hammond b3 was used on the changeling.

[AvengingCellery]

this guy never made me laugh until this. ha!

[theboomersmom]

he was so good he aroused himself or he has a large penis or he is padding not sure LOL

[averyc12]

omg - he's so perfect!



[OldsTHunder]

this is good,,Clownvis version is better

[hotrodchrissy22]

Jimmy Fallon does a great job impersonating Jim Morrison... voice & all!!! :)

[TheAnimebird]

This kinda puts my childhood with what I like today! This is great. Sounds just like Jim Morrison, too.

[Slaprougefun]

This is bloody Brilliant!!!

[sammcrawford1]

I'm only assuming this was an original score for this song... Sorry I'm not more helpful!

And yes I did totally butcher a few words spelling wise in the description... T9 failed my lazy ass...

But everyones a critic, right?!

[systemaddictshock]

I love it.. Jimmy did an awesome job.

[Qermaq]

I'll take HIS word on it.

[Gartoonz]

WOW !

[hiv2481]

this was so fucking awesome 

[GoofballLtG]

:D EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!
