To celebrate Jimmy Fallon’s 10th anniversary on The Tonight Show, the show’s production team is re-sharing iconic moments from the show on social media. A chance to remember this moment when the star presenter “friended” Nicole Kidman.
In the United States, Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” is a real institution, where the most famous celebrities follow each other every night. From Gisele Bundchen to Naomi Campbell, including Lenny Kravitz, Shakira and Ryan Gosling; All of them participated in the interview with the star presenter. And as the show celebrates its 10the anniversary, the production invites Internet users to remember the best moments of the program. In this context, the reunion of Jimmy Fallon and Nicole Kidman is significant. And for good reason, having unknowingly gone on a blind date, the two celebrities almost became a couple long ago.
Arranged meeting
“I don’t know if you remember, but we met before. It’s very embarrassing for me,” the presenter begins. Meeting Nicole Kidman’s positive response, he offered to “tell his version” of this meeting, which took place several years ago. A moment the mere hint of which seems to greatly amuse and embarrass both characters. “I’m walking down the streets of New York, and my friend Rick calls me and says, ‘Hey! Enchanted (My Dear Witch, English, Editor’s Note). We will be with you in 10 minutes.” Surprised, the host hilariously tells the audience about the stress of this impromptu visit, the express shopping, trying to organize a last-minute aperitif worthy of the name, and then his decision to take this unexpected situation lightly.
“I remember liking it”
Problem, Nicole Kidman’s version is very different. “Most of all, I remember liking you,” he says first, before continuing to meet the host’s response, “Not anymore. Now I’m married.” The Australian actress then says that their mutual friend, Rick, assured her that it was Jimmy Fallon who wanted to meet her. Alone at the time, he happily accepted. “So I went to your house. You were wearing a baseball cap and… nothing. You didn’t want to talk, you didn’t say anything. At one point you even put on a video game or something like that,” he laughs. And continued. “I swear, you didn’t say a word. After an hour and a half I told myself that you are not attracted to me, there is no chemistry. I was very ashamed. And then I thought. “Maybe he’s gay,” she concludes.
Faced with laughter from the audience and his guest, Jimmy Fallon gradually realizes the monumental mistake he made a few years ago. Begging her nerves and the fact that she never knew it was a date, she ends by admitting that the sequence was probably “one of the most embarrassing she’s ever experienced.”
