So I wasn’t sure who I was posting today at first, I had a few people I thought about because they looked good in various places but no one quite clicked. Then I saw that Priyanka Chopra had been on the Tonight Show and was bobbing for apples and I really wanted to see her bobbing for apples.  This apparently happened on Wednesday but who watched the Tonight Show live.  Not me, I’m off doing exciting and cool stuff so exciting and cool I am not going to tell you what it is.  Anyway, I really wanted to see this for some reason but maybe this is why Jimmy Fallon is successful.  In a lot of way she’s like the new Leno but there isn’t the ire directed at him.  Maybe it’s because he’s our generation’s Leno and in 20 years kids will be rolling their eyes telling us how painfully lame he is.  I think though the reason is we know Leno was calculation and changed his entire comic persona in pursuit of ratings.  Jimmy Fallon seems to be the same guy he always was, just a nice, silly dude who wants to have fun.  It feels authentic.  Now, I feel like our constant need for authenticity is a fools errand for a lot of reasons, in part because the line between artifice and authenticity may not even exist, it might just be the line between people who are open about their artifice and those who hide it well, but I do get the urge.  We want to believe absolute truths exist even if they don’t.  And so it’s why the stupid games he plays with celebrities appeals.  It humanizes them, in that oh look, they’re just like people way, but also they seem to just have a moment of genuine fun, which I think is the real appeal.  It might be as calculating as anything else in a public persona but that’s not important, what’s important is if we can convince ourselves it’s not.  So when I see someone I like, say Priyanka Chopra, confused by this American tradition and find real joy in participating, well, I like it.  It gives me a warm feeling.  Also, FYI, because I have never brought it up before, she is beautiful.  That’s also why she’s here.  Today I want to fuck Priyanka Chopra.
