David Backer, who runs Fiction Daily and is a contributing editor at this site, recently told me that he occasionally describes our site to people “as the Jimmy Fallon of online literary magazines.” I’m still not sure quite what to make of this, but I’ve slowly come around to the idea — I may not accept it just yet, but it doesn’t offend me or, for that matter, hurt my feelings– in part because Fallon’s show is so damn fun. And, while I like the venom that is always shooting out of David Letterman’s face, I appreciate Fallon for doing something that we’re trying to do: to produce good work without being mean spirited or petty. So, in the spirit of acceptance, after the jump you’ll find a video that’s been around for a few months but has not gotten any less funny.
The question underlying all of this, though, was first brought up by the wonderful Edan Lepucki: if we’re Fallon who’s Leno?
