"There's going to be a lot of name-dropping," Jimmy Fallon said at the start of his recap of what it was like to participate in Sunday night's three-and-a-half-hour-long Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary telecast — and, of course, the after-party. Fallon, evidently hungover, dedicated most of the segment on Monday night's Tonight Show to what sounds like a crazy fun after-party. He spent most of the party on a stage at the Plaza Hotel, which may sound like punishment to some people (and perhaps Fallon's wife), but it was "epic, untoppable," Fallon says. And honestly, it sounds like it was all that. The unfortunate subtext: Sorry you're not a celebrity. Oh well, maybe when SNL turns 50?
