It's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Conan O'Brien is the host of the Tonight Show.

And Fallon is such a boring host...Either way this is not the first time Fallon promotes a video game in his show. He did the same for the Tiger Wood game and the UFC one.

My god, he's so awesome. I think I'm in love with Tim Schafer.

Also, this made me want Brutal Legend even more.

So this is the first game that's actually highlighting the creativity of the games industry instead of "hey! we took something already mainstream and made a game out of it!".

And yeah, Jimmy Fallon taking Conan O'Brian's place? Impossible. Jimmy Fallon was never funny.

Interestingly enough, Jay Leno was supposed to retire but it turns out he's getting a new show. What the Hell happened there?

As of right now, Fallon is the only talk show host who's promoted video games on his show. I doubt his promotion of Brutal Legend will help plug it to his general audience of comatose children, housewives and parrots, but I can't help but appreciate it.

Besides, I already pre-ordered the game :)

It is pretty awesome that Fallon wants to use his show to promote video games and treat them like the valid art form they are. Its not awesome that his show sucks. He needs to do more movies about the Redsox.

Whatever the negatives, in terms of Fallon could be a better host , it would have been nice to have had Jack Black on too, etc, this is still an excellent sign that perhaps videogames are being accepted in some small areas of mass media, and for that we can only be thankful.

I always cringe when I see a videogame developer on a prime time TV show. They're always treated like oddities and it just shows the ignorance of the mainstream towards videogames.

Can't wait for Brutal Legend though. I wasn't interested in the game at all, but the demo made me do a complete 180. Finally, a violent, cartoony game with swearing and smoking.

<3 tim schafer

He did other games. Some Wii ones if I remenber right. But yeah this might be the first GAME FOR GAMERS advertised on a talk Show.

Silly enough....the target media of Late Night Show is young adults...the type of people that play games like Brutal Legend. If Tim showed up in Oprah that would be something to rave about.

Tim schafer is such a legend, i would love to be able to meet him.

The audience must've been injected with something.

- "What's this game about?"
- "It's about a guy who gets pulled into a world where humans are enslaved by demons"
*Big Laugh*

Wait...

Tim Schaefer may be a cool, cool guy, but he's kind of awkward when giving interviews. This was one of his better ones.

I heard if we sacrifice someone to the volcano god, we get Brutal Legend now.

Anyone want to step up?

Fine. I can always play Brutal Legend in Heaven.

Schaffer's kinda awesome.

i'll buy it... when they release the PC port.

No, no he doesn't. Fever Pitch just happened to be timed absolutely perfectly. another movie just wouldn't be the same.

Schaffer is so cool. Also, am I the only one who didn't know that Fallon had his own talk show?

neat interview and at least Jimmy Fallon has a place where he can laugh at his own jokes instead of live on air during SNL

can't wait till Rocktober 13th

I think that i'm the only one who likes Jimmy Fallon, and now he's becoming an advocate for the greatness of gaming.

Is it just me, or is YouTube being especially shit? It's taken me 30 minutes to download up to 3:00. In what I've seen, however, Tim is made of win.

Saeurbraten? Is that you?

Is it just me or was the interview just plain lame?
...kinda cool game, the demo didn't do it for me though (though the visuals looks awesome)

Wouldn't Jimmy Fallon's endorsement (on some level) of Brutal Legend actually hurt the game's sales? I think it would.

Though I must admit it's nice that at least some primetime host is giving the game some attention. I just wish it wasn't this comedically-challenged individual who was giving it.

Haha Tim is a Great Game designer who makes great games all for the purpose of having fun while your doing it. which should what games should be like where people make them to have fun sadly now evil companies are taking the fun out of games and turning them into money making devices.

Sigh..... Life goes on

nilcypher:
Soon you'll be telling me that cats and weasels are the secret masters of the Illuminati!

Well, that would certainly give a new meaning to "Angels & Demons".

OT: I'm unsure if it's good or bad if games get treated like movies.

Psychosocial:
Wait, wait, wait.

Jimmy Fallon has his own talk show? lolwut

Yes. It was a part of the NBC talk show cycle shift earlier this year.
Let's see if I can get it right...
Jimmy replaced Conan's time slot, who replaced Jay Leno's late night show. However, Jay has been slated to start a prime time show later this year (if it isn't already on).

I've never cared for Jimmy Fallon, he messed up every skit he was in for his last year of SNL, and hes just not that funny.

only his last year? he'd often laugh at his jokes during his skits throughout his stint on SNL

at least when Dennis Miller did that, it was when the joke bombed and he made a crack about it, tho he only did the news

I don't get why people laugh when other's describe games.

In a world where were a film series about a robot with an Austrian accent sent back in time to kill the mother of an unborn resistance leader is a considered a masterpiece and a classic, where the hell does anyone get off laughing about a game storyline?
