I still get a kick out of Jimmy Fallon's Head Swap

I posted something about the first installment of Head Swap, the game (actually, the non-existent game) on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon where Fallon takes celebrity heads and puts them on the bodies of other celebrities. Here's another one from last night. I love this.
He's taken a premise that could get kinda lame quickly (like Conan's "If They Mated"), realized that it could get lame quickly, and taken it to a place the audience doesn't expect. Or maybe they just planned this to be like this from the get-go, create something that looks like it's going to be another wacky late-night feature and surprise people. It's not something I want to see every week, but once a month is just right.
