Now that Jimmy Fallon's taking over Conan's Late Night gig, we enjoy picturing him swaggering around town humming the "King of New York" song from Newsies under his breath. Maybe sometimes he actually breaks out in song and starts dancing on tables and spinning from ceiling fans, yelling, "Ain't I pretty? It's my city! I'm the king of New York!" We like to think this is the very behavior that got him into a fistfight before getting bounced from a NY pizza place Saturday night...
Apparently, Jimmy and his wife were just hanging out with the kids, enjoying a slice or two, when they were unceremoniously ejected from the premises. Although there are rumors that the incident came to blows, Jimmy's own account of the incident via Twitter is vague at best:
• actually asked to leave a pizza place today
about 13 hours ago from web
• Posto on 2nd (they also own Gruppo and Vezzo)
about 13 hours ago from web
• carb face carol rude to my 2 year old niece and an 11 month old (sleeping) because they heard i didnt like the pizza there.
about 13 hours ago from web
• crazy.
about 13 hours ago from web
• i actually like posto.
6:37 PM Apr 4th from web
• i am not (or ever will be) a food critic. this girl was laughing as we (my wife and I) were wheeling the kids out.
6:40 PM Apr 4th from web
So even though he continued in this fashion for many more tweets, we still don't have a clear understanding of what actually went down. Also, is "carb face carol" really the best the new prince of late night can come up with?
