This week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Reggie Fils-Aime once again made a guest appearance, this time to showcase The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Not only did Jimmy get some early playtime alongside the Meat Man, he also received a special video message from Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo composer Koji Kondo. In addition, he was gifted one of the first molds of First 4 Figures' Link on Epona statues, which won't be made available until next year.
How does Jimmy repay this undeserved generosity? He swings the sword around like a spastic chimp and ignores all of Reggie's gameplay assistance! I would kill to get my hands on a $425 figurine for free, Jimmy! You don't deserve that statue, Jimmy! You are making my cry into my Cheerios, Jimmy!

You're right, he doesn't deserve that beautiful statue.
Ha! See what I did thar?
Not saying I like the guy, just playing devil's advocate.
NoJ and NoE release games, Reggie. Less time on TV, more on getting those games out.
Furthermore, how do people like guy?
WAGGLE HARDER!!! YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHRAGGHG!!!
This game looks totally tits.
Nothing this guy does gives any kind of beneficial perception toward gaming, and more importantly, "gaming" sad a whole doesn't need it. It's outpacing the film industry in many regards.
"how do i jump?"
...
Lol @GalacticFerret!
I'm so pumped to play this; I never imagined it would end up being my most anticipated game of 2011.
"How do I jump?"
No
Also I just had an epiphany, if we push Jim Fallon into a wood-chipper and then we all eat him, we can then gain his powers and then Nintendo will give all of us free statues. It's the perfect crime.
then again Jimmy is as deserving of that statue as Reggie is of running NOA..... so maybe two extreme wrongs cancel each other out?
But that doesn't get you free epona statues....
I'm still trying to figure out who the hell he is, other than seeing him mentioned in two destructoid articles.... I'm at a total loss.
That's where you're wrong after we are married and he is passed away I will have access to his link/epona statue, and all the glory will be mine. I also have a back up plan in case he survives the Shamoo attack. If he survives it I will accuse him of being a Whale-f*cker, after I do that I will demand a divorce. In my settlement I will ask for the statue and one-million baby carrots. It's the perfect crime.
He was a cast member from Saturday Night Live who laughed in every skit but could pull off a range of weird voices, did a bunch of shitty comedy movies, then someone became the host of his own talk show.
That's a mighty big assumption you're making.
But as Clown Baby said, he's the one putting videogames on t.v. at all.
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, JIMMY!
Furthermore, why do any of you think gaming needs ant kind of publicity. It's seriously encroaching on Hollywood's numbers, yet you people are acting as if your own self worth and identity are tethered to how video games (which is as generic and wide sweeping as any term can get) are portrayed. Between WoW garnering millions upon millions of subscriptions and CoD breaking day-one sales of any entertainment medium to date, are you all so self absorbed into your insular view of video games that you associate your self worth with TV time of your favorite hobby?
I would have figured having a person making a fool of himself, and arguably making the acceptance of video games as normal, not spectacle, more difficult would be the last kind of publicity your ego would want... But it appears do many people here can't see past the most simplistic form of pandering. "It's cool because he put a video game on tv, guys!"
/facepalm
"If it were ubiquitously SHOWN as commonplace and normal on tv, it might lose any stigma, [...]"
"Furthermore, why do any of you think gaming needs ANY kind of publicity?"
"But it appears SO many people here can't see past the most simplistic form of pandering."
