Let the circle be unbroken
In only semi-film-related news, it seems that Sarah and I aren’t the only ones tracking the lives of men with great hair. Liz over at The Park Bench points out (via Defamer) that the chain of late-night host succession is worthy of a spot in The Golden Comb-Pass. I think we can all be happy about this.
See, Jay Leno’s set to retire, or possibly just move on to other ways of annoying people, in 2009. And I’m not saying the man doesn’t give me hives, but who am I to knock a great head of effortless-ish hair? Look at this:
Who could compete with such follicular fabulosity? Maybe…oh, CONAN O’BRIEN, Giant Leprechaun and Friend to All Who Like Funny Things? NBC agrees, apparently: O’Brien’s leaving Late Night with Conan O’Brien to step behind the Tonight Show desk when Leno jumps ship. Now, actual humor and interviewing skills aside (after all, we at CH like to focus on what’s really trivial important), O’Brien’s hair is hard to beat when it comes to personal statements. See?
It’s like Elvis meets Silvio from The Sopranos meets a teenage girl from New Jersey in 1989. Whether or not it’s effortless, exactly, is kind of hard to say, but I’m guessing the pompadour/wave thing takes…oh, four minutes, tops. So he counts, right? One interesting-haired man replaces another. Now, what’s beautiful here is that Jimmy Fallon (of Fever Pitch fame; also the ex-SNLer who isn’t Chris Kattan but might be mistaken for him in a police line-up) will apparently take over O’Brien’s Late Show duties when the time comes. Whether Fallon’s up to the job seems to be up for some debate, since he reportedly doesn’t really write or act or actually get his lines right, but come on! Look at his hair!
That’s some nice standy-uppy indie-boy hair he’s got. There’s lots of it, but not too much, you know? This means somebody over there is paying attention to these important details, and for that, we salute them.
Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show, The Tonight Show, Chris Kattan, The Golden Comb-pass, guys with great hair

Teehee. I love blog entries like this. Also, Jimmy Fallon is hot. I had a crush on him when he was on SNL. I’d probably hate him in real life, but he sure is hot. And yes, has a great head of hair.
