Sometimes the suggestions in Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show "suggestion box" are much less interesting than what Fallon does with them. That was true on Wednesday night, when Fallon read a request for a performance by Black Simon & Garfunkel, a Simon and Garfunkel tribute duo comprised of two members of Fallon's house band, The Roots. As they have before, Questlove and Captain Kirk Douglas sang a popular song in the style of Paul and Art — in this case, The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" — but this time they had a special guest join them mid-song. Art Garfunkel was actually a great addition, and if they ever are on break at the same time, this is one trio that could really pack coffeehouses around the world. Peter Weber
