March 4, 2009Sarah Haskins Calls Out Jimmy Fallon for Being a Total Hack![]() ![]() It's nice to know that the first segment Jimmy Fallon decided to air on his first night as host of Late Night was a total ripoff of Infomania's Sarah Haskins' segment Target Women. For those of you not already aware of the show, Infomania is a comedy news show available for viewing on CurrentTV as well as the network's website, is hosted by Connor Knighton and contains several segments by different correspondents, such as Sergio Cilli's "White Hot Top 5", Bret Elrich's "Viral Video Film School" and Ben Hoffman's "Tech Report." While I'm a fan of the whole show, it was Target Women, a segment that mocks and comments on the ridiculous ways the media tries to market everything from Yogurt to Wedding Shows to women. The sketch series has been appearing on Infomania since last May and, as far as I'm concerned, has only gotten funnier since. Last night, Jimmy Fallon asummed his new role as Conan O'Brien's replacement for the Late Night Show. He introduced a new segment for the show he called "Target Demographic", this sketch's demographic being "Blonde Mothers from Connecticut." The sketch-- you guessed it, was a film that mocked the way the media views Blonde Mothers and how to market to them. See if you can spot the resemblance between the two TV spots: Target Women: Number Two, aired May 9th, 2008 Target Demographic: Blonde Mothers" aired March 3rd, 2009 Sarah Haskins certainly has noticed the resemblance. She has called Fallon out on Twitter already, saying, "Hey, Jimmy Fallon, call me when you want to give my idea back!" Haskins has asked us to send Fallon some of our favorite Target Women clips to get him to own up. So, how about it Jimmy? Are you going to admit the idea was stolen?
