Jimmy Fallon as Barry Gibb, and also singing with two of the Bee Gees. Imitation meets flattery.

Last night's edition of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon saw two of the Bee Gees, Robin and Barry Gibb, confront the comedian who had lampooned them with help from Justin Timberlake on multiple episodes of Saturday Night Live. Well, "confront" and "lampooned" are strong words, because the brothers Gibb were flattered by it all. Or should I say flattened? How about Robin Gibb with all of the one-liners, FTW. And Fallon couldn't have seemed more pleased for the opportunity to harmonize with the brothers. Just make sure to hit those harmonies, right, Jimmy? Roll it. (NBC.com version)

And here is a classic SNL edition of The Barry Gibb Talk Show sketch. This one's from #32.9, Dec. 16, 2006 (NBC.com version):

One thought on “Jimmy Fallon as Barry Gibb, and also singing with two of the Bee Gees. Imitation meets flattery.

  1. The best thing about Jimmy Fallon is that you can tell he REALLY loves what he’s doing. He’s super charming and is having a great time… on top of being funny.
    I hope he doesn’t lose that, because it’s why I’ve reeeeeally begun to like Late Night.
