Jimmy Fallon and wife Nancy Juvonen Fallon Names Daughter Winnie Rose, Lake Winnipesaukee, The Wonder Years?

Why the name Winnie Rose? It is the short for Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

I thought Jimmy was sentimental, He proposed to his wife there and vacationed at the summer retreat.

Fallon explained, “Winnie from ‘The Wonder Years’ is the coolest girl in any TV show ever. And also, she’s a ‘win’ for us.”

Jimmy exclaimed,

I just love her. She’s a little angel. She’s so cute and so fun. Little girls especially unlock something in your heart.”

I want to see if Jimmy tells his Late Night audience how the baby is growing up her first smiles, wet diapers, fussiness you know all the great experiences you have as a new parent. I wonder if Jimmy will impersonate Winnie Rose too?

is the coolest girl in any TV show ever. And also, she’s a ‘win’ for us.”

“It wasn’t really a secret, but my wife and I had been trying for awhile to have a baby. We’ve tried a bunch of different things, so we had a surrogate,” This time we just said we’re not going to tell anybody, it’d be just more fun if it’s just private between me and my wife and then we get to introduce her to everybody.

“It is the most-worth-it thing. I’m just so happy right now, I’m freaking out!”

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg works as taxi driver in Oslo to hear voters opinions, PR stunt?

I have been in Oslo Norway 6 times in the mid- late 80’s and early 90’s. I had friends from Norway. We worked together on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. A matter of fact, I slept overnight in its airport waiting for an early flight back to Heathrow. I felt safe there, no need to get a hotel room. They lock the doors and you store you luggage in a closet. Sleep on the benches. They give you a pillow. One time all air flight stopped as the King of Norway entered. ( Sorry, I forget his name)

That was way before 9/11 and the Tower came down. That day the world changed forever. R.I.P. World Trade Center.

Madonna – Express Yourself, Staple Singers – Respect Yourself, Soul Train, Solid Gold Dancers.

Hey people you need to express and respect yourself. These singers know what they are talking about.

I believe you have to love yourself before you can love other people. That is not a selfish statement. think about it. I have discovered loving me again and it feels awesome. Try it.

I am so glad I grew up during Soul Train, Solid Gold, and Bandstand. Yes, I was a professional dancer/choreographer in the 1980’s. The best time for music and dance and everything great in life. The Towers still stood also. I can always go to the Internet and view the best times because those times will never be the same ever. JMO.

Got to run and be s student in Bob’s Sunday spin class. He takes me to Church there. :–)
