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.

What You Missed Last Night: Head Swap!

At first I thought this was going to be another one of those lame late-night "bits" that would become a regular feature. An idea that might sound funny for about a half hour and then after you do a couple of them it gets really tired. It's called "Head Swap," where you put the heads of celebrities on the bodies of other celebrities. Sort of like Conan's "If They Mated." But then Jimmy Fallon takes it to a completely different area that actually made me laugh out loud. (Video also here.)
