I saw The Time several years ago in Chicago... they were WAY better then. I was pretty disappointed in the choice of song as well as the performance. Whoever said Prince defies time while the rest of us grow old was right on the money. I think Morris and Jerome need to find a new gig.

I saw it and noticed that not only did Leno say it was Morris Day performing but he also said that Morris was releasing the album. I'm not very familar with what the Time has been up to and who is in it anymore. And I only have "What Time Is It?" on CD. Are the only original members left Morris and Monte (Jerome was there too, which is great).

I think Jellybean Johnson is still the drummer... although if it's him, he looks nothing like he did on the cover of 'ice cream castle'....

I was wondering about the falling down , when I was watching it.

It was fun to see the MD and the Time perform... but I agree it was somewhat lackluster. I think that Leno's cheesy outdoor venue in the afternoon light added to the lack of excitement they might otherwise have generated in more of a club-like setting. I also noticed that they did look a tad older... and I am conviced that somewhere in the deep annals of Paisley Park... a portrait of Prince is aging.

I felt bad when he fell, although I wasn't sure, now reading the post above, if it was part of the act. Morris Day looks good, he hasn't changed much, if not at all. I think Jay Leno should've interviewed him & he should've played one of his new songs. I think more TIME should've been given to familiarize people with him. It was nice he played 'The bird', but he should've also let him sing a new song from the CD...again, more TIME should've been given, especially after all this TIME.

It was the very last part of the show.

From what I can tell, Jay's show usually repeats itself the very next week (exactly seven days later) at 2:05 am EDT. So, for those who missed it, this episode should be repeated on 6/2 at 2:05 am EDT.

I thought the exact same thing! About it being weak! They were here in Vegas in March and performed 2 of their new songs, wonder why they didnt do it there?

That was B-O-R-I-N-G! I am so tired of the same ol' act from these cats. And yes, the album is gonna be a MORRIS DAY album-with The Time's music!

You got a better idea, smartass????

ONCE AND FOR ALL MORRIS DID NOT FALL, IT IS PART OF THE ACT! I HAVE SEEN THEM DO THE SAME THING AT 3 DIFFERENT SHOWS NOW AND THEY DO IT EVERY TIME!

It was part of the act. They do that all the time now. Saw them do it in Norfolk. As you can tell, Morris isn't the dancer he used to be, so I think they decided to get some humor out of his aging. Jerome looks the same.

It is an act. I saw them 10 YEARS AGO and it was in the act then! They haven't changed their show since '81!!!!! But, it is a pretty good show.....
