'Late Night' Nails It with 'Winning for Men by Charlie Sheen, '

Jimmy Fallon nails Charlie Sheen’s erratic media appearances with a very funny parody of Sheen’s favorite phrase lately “Winning!”
The “Late Night” host riffs on the Two and a Half Men star’s statement to E!News about a cologne he claims he wants to do and pairs it with some of the actor’s actual quotes.
The impersonation is very very good.
 Last night, Jimmy Fallon celebrated Late Night's second birthday and, generous Jimmy that he is, instead of receiving gifts, he gave them away to us. By "gifts," I mean two spot-on, hilarious video shorts--truly the sort of gifts that keep on giving.

First, check out "Winning for Men: By Charlie Sheen," Jimmy's parody fragrance ad, and note two essential things: One, that they used about 90% real Charlie Sheen quotes, because they were that crazy to begin with. And two ... who knew Fallon was such a dead-ringer for Sheen? It's almost like the first Tina Fey/Sarah Palin parody I ever saw. Eerie.
