Laugh Track: No Pressure

Fox Sports’ Michael Strahan appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” last night and talked about this weekend’s AFC and NFC Championship Games, saying the Steelers “might pull an upset” over the Patriots. This prediction elicited some boos from the studio audience, which prompted Strahan to look at the crowd and say jokingly, “You got a problem, come on down here and talk to me about it.” Host Jimmy Fallon said, “No one wants to mess with you.” Fallon congratulated Strahan for his hosting role on ABC's “$100,000 Pyramid.” Fallon: “You crushed it, and it’s been picked up for Season Two. You’re just crushing everything” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 1/16).

NBC’s Fallon noted the Packers on Sunday defeated the Cowboys 34-31 by "kicking a game-winning field goal as time expired." The Packers were "so excited they promised the kicker they’d learn his name before their next game" (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 1/16).
