TRIVIA TODAY - October 15, 2014
Greetings Infomaniacs, Today I have some fun facts about talk shows for you. My two favorite talk show hosts are Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon.
Ellen is always entertaining and I crack up every time I watch one of her shows. I've been hooked on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as well. To me, he seems very down to earth and I enjoy the fact that he doesn't take himself too seriously. His segments and interviews are always enjoyable (again, in my opinion).
Who are your favorites?
Enjoy!
