Today, I just brag a bit about one of my tweets being featured on The Tonight Show.
Ever since Jimmy Fallon became the shot of The Tonight Show, it has been doing a bit called Hashtags where the show puts out a topic on Twitter and asks people to respond to the topic and they’ll share some of them.
The theme this time was #MyDumbSuperpower, and since I was just writing about Freddie Mercury’s reaction to hearing “Ice Ice Baby” for the first time (which uses the famous bass line from Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure”), I joked that my power was being able to tell the two bass lines apart.
And it made the show…
Jimmy Fallon then tested whether he could tell them apart, but then, instead of just playing the bass line, The Roots then added the little percussion bit that makes it obvious which one is “Ice Ice Baby,” but whatever, it’s a cute gag, so it’s all good.
Anyhow, just thought that that was a fun thing worth sharing.
Add “writer for the Tonight Show” to your resume!
