Laugh Track: Just Dance

Actor/rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson appeared on TBS’ “Conan” last night where he was asked if he would ever appear on ABC’s "DWTS." Jackson said he "can dance," but when boxer and friend Floyd Mayweather Jr. appeared on the show Jackson “was like, ‘What are you doing? Why did you do it?’ But it's like pay-per-view and it's a big audience so it made sense for him for boxing.” O’Brien asked, “You think it was a mistake for him to go on ‘Dancing With The Stars?’” Jackson: “It just didn't feel cool.” O’Brien: “Have you told this to him in person?” Jackson: “I said it different. I was like, ‘Champ, what are you doing?’ He knew what I was feeling when he did it. It was a long time ago.” Jackson said if he did “bust a move” in a film it would be “maybe ‘Dirty Dancing IV.’” O’Brien: “Does it still take place in the Catskills?” (“Conan,” TBS, 1/16).

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski “taped a new PSA where he warns about the dangers of eating Tide detergent pods, which backfired when 10 seconds into the ad he ate a Tide detergent pod” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 1/16).
