Late Laughs for the week of March 6 - March 12, 2016

The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon

Last night was Super Bowl 50. It's a special night where Americans gather with friends and family to lose money and gain weight.

 

I want to say congratulations to the Denver Broncos, who beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. The Broncos really stopped Cam Newton last night. In fact, the only dabbing Cam Newton was doing last night was with some Kleenex.

 

New Releases for the week of March 6 - March 12

In the Heart of the Sea

The true story that inspired the classic novel “Moby-Dick” comes to life. In 1820, the whaling ship Essex sets sail, but finds little success. Tensions flare between first mate Owen Chase (Hemsworth), an experienced whaler, and Capt. George Pollard (Walker), but when the ship is nearly destroyed in a storm, they agree to set aside their differences and head for what they hope will be more lucrative whaling waters in the Pacific. There, they find much more whale than they bargained for when a massive albino wrecks their ship and leaves the crew stranded on an isolated island. With little hope of rescue, they set out to cross the ocean, but the great beast is on the hunt.

Not wasting any time, that's for sure.

You may have seen him playing himself recently in a three-episode arc of the Fox comedy "The Grinder," but it seems that was just a bit of fun between his numerous other commitments.

Since "Justified" ended its critically acclaimed six-season run on FX, Olyphant (who played the show's main character, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens) has shot three movies and is now starring in an Off-Broadway play in New York.

The Family, on ABC
