Best of Late Night TV: Ewan McGregor Rules Charades, Melissa McCarthy Was Robbed at Dry Cleaners (VIDEO)

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.



Ewan McGregor was on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon on Monday night, and the impossibly handsome Scot played charades against Jimmy. Ewan's teammate was Jeff Tweedy, and Jimmy's partner -- for better or worse -- was Charles Barkley. Poor Charles Barkley. He and Jimmy were just not an ideal team -- unless they want to form a comedy team. Their fights were epic, though. "FOUR WORDS!!!!" Ewan was great, and a total class act -- even when Jimmy blew off his handshake. (The Force is strong with this one.) And did the "winners" really win? Discuss. Ewan also sat down with Jimmy to talk about his Broadway debut, and discussed how he ran out of gas driving cross country. He dressed up for his drive, looking at one point like "a French mechanic." A very nice lady saved him on the road and they've kept in touch. She even came to his play. (She didn't know who he was.) Everything he says sounds wonderful, so just listen. Melissa McCarthy was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," talking about starting out in Hollywood. In her early days, she worked at Starbucks, she worked at the Y, and she worked at a dry cleaners, where she was actually held up. (!) She said she was sobbing through the robbery because she couldn't afford to replace her mascara; at the time, that was the most upsetting part of it. Melissa also shared a crazy Bill Murray story from when they were doing press for "St. Vincent." Oh, and she shared a photo from Adam Levine's old Halloween party, when she and Jennifer Esposito were the only women not wearing bikinis. Actor Frank Grillo was also on JKL, talking about his mixed martial arts show "Kingdom." Frank said he was very much against casting Nick Jonas in the role, but Nick really impressed him and during the audition he knew he was the guy. Frank also joked (we think) that Nick has a lot of anger about The Jonas Brothers and isn't a big fan of the other brothers. Let's hope he was kidding!

Billy Idol also performed on JKL, and here's "Rebel Yell":

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood were on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," mentioning how it's their seventh time hosing the CMA Awards, but it's the first time Carrie is hosting it pregnant. Brad might be the one who has to change clothes every five minutes. They talked about which country stars are easiest to make fun of at the show, because they can take a joke. Seth also mentioned how Brad was late for his fishing trip with Seth and their wives, but he had a really good excuse.

Amy Poehler was on "Late Show with David Letterman" and she's always fun to watch. Dave had her do some "Parks and Recreation" word association and the result was very gushing. It would've been better if Dave had done his part, but he didn't even call out names. She also shared her "Parks & Rec" finale fantasy. She thinks she might get emotional, tell everyone what she really thinks of them, hit on the camera department, and light the set on fire. Amy also talked about what she might do after "Parks & Rec."

Blake Griffin was on "Conan," talking about Donald Sterling's white party, where everyone wore white except for Donald.
