[daleanime]

1. Kick....

[malaise]

Brilliant and freaking perfect.
That's the real BOSS!

4. This has to hurt.

Christie is a HUGE Springsteen fan. He's seen over a 100 concerts.

(IMO Fallon is a decent Springsteen)

[whathehell]

7. You think Fallon is a "decent" Springsteen?...I thought he was Awesome!!

I really wasn't sure he was NOT Springsteen until The Boss joined him.

[CTyankee]

12. I thought the same thing. I hope it DOES hurt CC's feelings.

Bruce prolly has zero respect for Christie...

[PuraVidaDreamin]

3. Tears pouring out of my eyes

I'm laughing so hard!

[TNNurse]

5. Flawless...what talent.

[tanyev]

6. Gov. Christie take-away: My hero is parodying me! Squee!!!!!

[LynneSin]

8. Christie says he knows the lyrics to all Bruce Springsteen songs

Bet he doesn't memorize them.

What's a shame - Obama got Bruce Springsteen to take Christie's calls after Sandy, which is something Bruce refused to do for years. My guess is once again Bruce will be ignoring Christie's phone calls.

9. Delicious!!!

10. Priceless.

11. This wins the internet for last night and today!

I cannot stop watching this and singing along.

[tclambert]

13. Well, the jury's in. The Boss says it's Gov. Chris Christie's traffic jam.

[Enthusiast]

14. +1 a whole bunch.......nt

[mountain grammy]

15. Hysterical! Bravo, bravo!

sad but true, Christie, "you're killing the working man!"

[Larkspur]

16. The Boss will kick start Christie's PR decline

I love the line where The Boss says "Governor let me in. I'll be your friend. There will be no partisan divisions. Let me wrap my legs around your mighty rib cage and relieve your stressful condition." What a way to say, "Gov, you're full of sh*t!"



And then he ads a bit later, "I gota take a leak!"

And the part where "the press conference went on and on. It was longer than one of my own damn shows!"
A definite nod to Christie dozing off during The Boss' show.

Boss

I wonder how many times this clip will be replayed?

[nolabear]

17. "He said my name! He said my name!"

[FailureToCommunicate]

18. Thank you Grits! Made my day.

Fallon has done some great musical parodies! ( e.g. Neil Young,"Whip My Hair&quot

[indepat]

19. Savaging the savage with parody: powerfully delicious

[KamaAina]

20. Well, the Krispy Kreme rises bold and clean

Christie's huddled on the beach in a mist...

[KamaAina]

21. The bridge is jammed with Christie's minions

On a two-bit power drive...

[Are_grits_groceries]

22. Christie haiku?

I don't remember the exact form it has to be in. Fallon should do that next.

[KamaAina]

23. 5-7-5

Christie shut approach
To get back Fort Lee mayor
So ends his career.

Actually, these would likely be considered senryu, as true haiku are associated with one of the four seasons..

[Are_grits_groceries]

27. Ha! Thanks for the info. nt

[Manifestor_of_Light]

26. Chrome wheel, power 'jected

Stepping over ethical lines.

[polichick]

24. "You're killing the working man" - awesome choice of words...

Love this!

[NightWatcher]

25. I'm gonna miss Jay Leno

Is something that no one will ever say
