From Studio 6, Speed Rockefeller center in the heart of New York City, it's a Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Tonight join Jimmy and his guests, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Leo Woodhull. And featuring Paul Schaefer in the world's most dangerous band. We thrown it back. And now here he is. Jimmy, man. Oh, my God. Thank you very much. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Yes, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Oh, thank you very much, everyone. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome to the. Okay, buddy, you're good. All right. Thank you. Yep. Daddy has to do a monologue. Off you go. Yeah, take care. Bye, bud. Good to see you. Welcome to the show, everybody. Did you guys see this? Last night, Elon Musk and President Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office and they were joined by Elon's four year old son, Don Jr. Was like, wait a minute. My dad said there's no such thing as take your son to work day. Not only was Elon's son there, he actually climbed onto his dad's shoulders at one point. It was pretty cute. Look at this. Does that present a conflict of interest for you? No. Because you don't have to look at the individual contract and say, first of all, I'm not the one, you know, filing the contract. Yeah. Actually, what happened next was. Even was kind of weird, actually. I can't believe no one is talking about this. But, Paul, take a look at this. Will you abide by that ruling?
- [01:56]
Tina Fey
Will you come out?
- [01:57]
Jimmy Fallon
Well, I always abide by the courts and then I'll have to appeal. But then what he's done is he slowed down the momentum. That's air. Eric. It's Eric. He's gotta be like 40 years old. He shouldn't be sitting on his dad's. What's he doing? That seems uncalled for. Yeah. Elon brought his son to the press conference. But I'm not sure Trump enjoyed it, though. Take a look. This is really the goal of Doge. And I think a significant part of the presidency is to restore democracy. Trump was looking at him like, don't you dare touch my dinosaur chicken nuggets. Those are my dinosaur chicken nuggets. Eventually they bonded, though. While Elon was talking, they both watched an episode of Bluey on an iPad. So it was a. Have you seen this? It's when they sell the house. Some more political news today. President Trump said that he had a nice phone call with Vladimir Putin. Putin was like, I told you I wouldn't forget. Valentine's Day. The only awkward part of the call was when Putin said, is the president there? And both Trump and Elon said yes. Switching gears, pre sale just opened for Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour. Big deal. But fans, fans are very upset because Ticketmaster immediately crashed again. Well, to explain what happened, we're joined now by Ticketmaster spokesman Ken Bauman. Thank you for joining us, Ken. Oh, yeah, thanks for having me, Jimmy. Thanks for having me. So just go ahead and explain to us what happened. Well, Jimmy, while Ticketmaster isn't exactly thrilled with how the pre sale began, we can assure our customers that our website is now perfectly up and running. It looks like the connection went down. Ken, are you there? Hello? Isolated events. You see, normally our systems are able to hand. Is he a dolphin? He sounds like a dolphin. Ken. Ken, Maybe we should just do this tomorrow. I don't know if this is what. To ensure Ticketmasters value customers that this will never. All right, that's good. That's a 20th person speak to Ken. I'm good, I'm good. Let's move on. Let's move on. I'm sorry about that. Some business news. I saw that Joann fabrics is closing 500 of its 800 stores. And you can tell things are rough because Joanne just started in only fabrics. Some entertainment news. There are so many big reality TV shows premiering this week. Tonight you got the Masked Singer. Tonight you have the Floor. You have Summer House. And tomorrow there's Next Level Chef. Friday there's Love is Blind. It's a little hard to keep up with all this, but here I'll break it down for Wednesday. House. Thursday, Kitchen. Friday, Pods. Wednesday, competition. First, the Floor. That's a show, and it's hosted by Rob Lowe, the Masked Singer. Also something. There's a guy dressed like a muffin. Summer House. Lot of drama. Lindsey's now a baby mama. Love is blind. They're playing Cupid. Gordon Ramsay calls you stupid. Summer house. There's baby fever. I think. Muffins. Justin Bieber. House. Pot. Island. Island house, boat. Pod Kitchen. Leave your spouse. Mansion. Mansion. Island, boat. Maybe muffin is the pope. Guy. And guy and guy and guy leaving. Limos start to cry. Watch it all while you are at home and scrolling TikTok on your phone. Thank you. All right, hope that cleared things up for you, everybody. Okay. Hey, guys, listen to this. I read that 2000 passengers on Norwegian cruise lines just set sail on an 11 day naked cruise. Yeah, 2,000 naked people. Plus a cruise is like. Someone asked how many different diseases can we have at one time. Norovirus syphilis. Yeah. Did you guys see this? Last night at Madison Square Garden, Monty the Giant Schnauzer won best in show at the West Kennel Club Dog show. Is it me, or does Monty the Giant Schnauzer sound like someone you see on the naked cruise? Monte the Giant schnauzer. You. You work blue. Don't work blue, Jimmy. And finally, this is big news. President Trump just signed an executive order banning the use of paper straws in government and vowing to bring back plastic straws. Yep. Sadly, just after he signed it, the order immediately started to disintegrate. Oh, hey, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? What are you. No, no. What are you talking. No, no. My God, look. I can't believe this. I can't believe this. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. That's what I'm talking about. Nice to see you. Nice to see. Nice. Jimmy, what's going. What seems to be the problem here?

Amy Poehler
Jimmy, Jimmy, come on. Trump is banning paper straws. And that's the best you got?

Tina Fey

Jimmy Fallon
Oh, well, you know what that means. This is time for a good old fashioned Tonight Show. Joke off. All right, we all know the rules here. I'm gonna say the setup, and when you have a joke, buzz in on the buzzer and go to town. So without further ado, what is. What is going. What in the world is happening right? What is happening right? What is going on? I can't believe. What is happening, right? This is chaos. This is a chaos. What is it? Oh, my. You weren't. You weren't really gonna leave me out, were you? Yeah. Yeah, we were. You guys ready? Here we go. Let's just joke off here. President Trump just signed an executive order banning the use of paper straws in government and vowing to bring back plastic straws and go buzz.
- [08:32]
Amy Poehler
It's all part of Trump's plan to make America suck again.
- [08:35]
Jimmy Fallon
There you go. Government officials are already working on a plan to destroy all the existing paper straws. It's a simple plan. Use them once. There you go. Then they go away. Oh, thank.
- [08:46]
Tina Fey
When Trump was told this might cause more turtles to die, he said, I'm not concerned about Mitch McConnell. Alright, last dinner.
- [08:52]
Jimmy Fallon
I think that's the winner. You can't beat that one. You can't beat that one, hon. That's very nice. I got one. Thank you. You got it. Time for round two, here's the next story. For Valentine's Day, Domino's is launching a pepperoni inspired perfume. Go. Beep, beep, beep, beep.

- [16:42]
Tina Fey
Oh, my God. I was just thinking about this the other day, how late we stayed up and we would all have to stay up all night for writing night, which is that Tuesday night. Which still on a Tuesday night. Sometimes I get a stomachache.
- [16:55]
Amy Poehler
Yeah. You said you'd come into work at like 5:00, and then you would just know that you. At 9pm, you were gonna eat, like, pasta from Carmines. And then around 3am you were gonna walk back through that room and take that same pasta from Carmine's.
- [17:08]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. And eat that old pasta out of.
- [17:10]
Amy Poehler
The garbage and keep eating it.
- [17:12]
Jimmy Fallon
I felt the way. Not like you guys, but I would try to write something and just not write anything. And I would go home at 3 in the morning and go like, gosh, I can't believe I didn't write anything funny at all. Like, what is wrong with me? I couldn't type anything.
- [17:25]
Amy Poehler
Did you watch the. They have all these SNL docs on Peacock, all these documentaries and the writers. There's one about the writers, one about the audition process and the one about the writers. It made me feel really sick, like nauseous. Yeah. Just like, oh, yeah.
- [17:38]
Tina Fey
The body remembers the ptsd.
- [17:40]
Amy Poehler
The body keeps the score.
- [17:42]
Jimmy Fallon
I remember leaving one night and you were there and you had like this ski hat on or something like that. And it was probably four in the morning and you had an old Subway. You had a veggie Subway sandwich.
- [17:52]
Amy Poehler
Yeah, that was my order.
- [17:53]
Jimmy Fallon
That was your order. And you're like, dude, you're still here. You're like, I just got the cold open idea right now. I'm just gonna type it in.
- [17:58]
Tina Fey
I wish they did a documentary about how sad and quiet everyone was talking when they wrote comedy. They were like, like, so maybe you could come in. And then it's like, I like serious. You could jump on the trampoline.
- [18:11]
Amy Poehler
Like, yeah. No one sadder.
- [18:14]
Jimmy Fallon
This sounds fun, though. Amy, you're launching your own podcast. I am.

Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.

Tina Fey
We've been friends for over 30 years, and we've been together doing stuff a lot. But I was. I'm kind of like Tina's second wife. Because you guys did it first.

Jimmy Fallon
And just owned it.
- [19:46]
Tina Fey
I remember watching you guys and being like, wow, that seems hard. I hope I never have to do that.
- [19:50]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Then you crushed it. I remember the first time. Do you remember introducing me to Amy? You go, ooh. You go. You gotta go. I'm gonna see my friend do improv.

- [20:15]
Amy Poehler
And this was Amy.

Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. And Amy Poehler came out. And I'd never seen a performer like you in my entire life. I was blown away, going, oh, my God. Who is this person? You're like, this is my friend Amy, dude. And I go, there's no one funnier. I've never seen anything like you, ever. And I'm like. And I think you got cast, like, the next.
- [20:33]
Tina Fey
No, I got cast because I was technically a Nepo friend. Tina got me the job 100%, vouched for me in every way. And I was joking backstage. I was like, SNL feels like college to me. Like, I would never get into it now.
- [20:48]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
- [20:49]
Tina Fey
You know, you look at your college.
- [20:50]
Amy Poehler
Test scores are just getting higher and higher.
- [20:52]
Tina Fey
Yeah, test scores are getting higher. But, like, someone was there. Julia Sweeney, the great Julia Sweeney is saying that there's only 167 cast members.
- [21:01]
Amy Poehler
Wow.
- [21:02]
Tina Fey
@ SNL.
- [21:02]
Jimmy Fallon
Is that right?

Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, me, too. Yeah, I am. What are you. I can't wait for this weekend. Friday night's gonna be a big bash over at Radio City. Yes. Like, crazy stuff. That's all I can say is gonna happen.

Do you know anything that's happening there?
- [21:33]
Amy Poehler
I know a little bit about what's taking shape because I am working on it as a staff writer, which I'm pretty excited about. Like, me, Seth.
- [21:42]
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my gosh.
- [21:43]
Amy Poehler
The great Paul Lepel, Emily Spivey, John Mulaney. We're all coming back as staff writers, which is so. It's.
- [21:50]
Jimmy Fallon
I.
- [21:50]
Amy Poehler
You know, I can see, like, what's coming together, and it is hilarious. Cause going back to being on the writing stuff, basically, I immediately regressed to, like. I just was, like, so grouchy. And I was just like. It was like, I feel like I'm working really, like, really hard. By the way, I'm responsible for, like, two minutes of content, but.
- [22:09]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, but it all comes back to you.
- [22:10]
Amy Poehler
But guess what? The hat came back.

Jimmy Fallon
I was wearing my hat. The old subway.

Amy Poehler
Old subway. I was eating garbage. Yeah, I was really grouchy.

Jimmy Fallon
But that's so fun.
- [22:20]
Amy Poehler
Then something amazing happened. I was there the other night in a meeting with everybody, with Higgins and everybody. And everyone was just like, you know, grinding down, like, okay, well, what's it gonna be? This? That. And then an angel appeared in the form of Bill Murray. Just wandered into the meeting, and he came in, and he was in this, like, incredibly wonderful mood. And he just was like, hey, guys, what's going on in here? Maybe open a window. You seem like you're all about to cry.
- [22:51]
Jimmy Fallon
Is that right?
- [22:52]
Amy Poehler
And then he just gave us this pep talk. And I could have started crying because this is the pep talk that I've been dreaming of since I was, like, a kid watching meatballs.
- [23:00]
Jimmy Fallon
Right? Yeah.
- [23:00]
Amy Poehler
And he's just like, this show's gonna be amazing. I'm so excited. I'm seeing everybody at rehearsal. I feel like we're all brothers in and sisters. And I was like. And I kept waiting for it to turn into a bit, and it never did. He just was like, it's gonna be wonderful. And I was just like, oh, my God.

You did this fake commercial called mom jeans. And it's unbelievably great how. What was the inspiration behind it? Do you remember writing this?
- [24:01]
Amy Poehler
I do. I think I remember. I. I wrote it, and I remember it was. I think it. It was spring. I went down. I was. I don't know why. I went down to the lobby of 30 Rock, and I went to J Crew to get a pair of jeans. I don't know why. I did not poop my pants. But I saw.
- [24:19]
Jimmy Fallon
I've done this before, too, right?
- [24:20]
Amy Poehler
You're like, I need a pair of jeans.
- [24:21]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Or a sweater or something.
- [24:22]
Amy Poehler
I did not. I did not poop my pants.
- [24:25]
Tina Fey
No one said that but you.
- [24:26]
Jimmy Fallon
Okay, okay.
- [24:27]
Amy Poehler
But anyway, somehow I bought this, like, really unflattering, unfortunate pair of jeans. And I brought them up to the office, and they were just real high. They just were terrible on me. And I was, like, regretting buying them. And I was saying to, like, you and Spivey and Paula and everybody just being like, these are bad, right? These are not. I gotta take these back.
- [24:48]
Jimmy Fallon
Right? Yeah.
- [24:48]
Amy Poehler
And then somehow we end up saying something about them being kinda like mom jeans. And I was like, let's write that. Cause when you're on writing night, you're like, anything. You're like, write microphone, shell, mug and markers. Yeah. So, like, maybe something about mom jeans.
- [25:02]
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my gosh. And it turned out to be a cult glass.
- [25:04]
Amy Poehler
It was so fun. And I got to be in it. I wasn't in stuff very often. And my other favorite thing about mom jeans now is, like, if you show it to an audience, like, there's a part where, like, I bend over and you see this, like, padded butt. Like, dude, I would have to join Equinox to get back to this butt. And at the time, it was, like, hilarious padding.
- [25:22]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
- [25:22]
Amy Poehler
Like, look at that huge butt. But look at these baby faces.
- [25:27]
Jimmy Fallon
I know.
- [25:28]
Tina Fey
I like how much fun those moms were having.
- [25:31]
Jimmy Fallon
What do you remember about it?
- [25:32]
Tina Fey
Well, I just remember actually having fun shooting it and, like, laughing. Cause all we had to do was dance, you know? Like, we just had to be like, wow. And also, I remember a great cutaway of Parnell where he sees Dratch's character in, like, in a mom vest and mom shorts, and he was like. It got really sad.
- [25:52]
Amy Poehler
Also, like, once a year, I take this out and remind myself not to get that haircut perfect.
- [25:58]
Jimmy Fallon
Why not? I was talking about. Because now we're rehearsing for SNL 50s and we were just talking. We had so much fun. I know. And we just had. Do you remember, like dance parties?
- [26:08]
Tina Fey
Yes. I mean, also just how late we stayed up.
- [26:12]
Jimmy Fallon
Dude, it was just a rager.
- [26:13]
Tina Fey
It was a rager.
- [26:14]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. And sometimes slept over.
- [26:16]
Tina Fey
I know. So many dance parties. And I just. I have to say, like, not to. You know, I'm gonna be sincere for a second and say I am amazed that we're all here together. I'm amazed that we got the jobs we got. I cannot believe that I get to not only perform with you, but be friends with you. And it is a big deal to go back. It feels like the biggest. Like if the 14 year old version of me knew that I would be celebrating eston my head wants to explode. So. I know I told you it was kind of cringey. My kids are gonna think this is cringe, but no, no, no. It is beyond. And the feeling I had, the people I had, that's the thing I'm most excited about being around those people.
- [26:58]
Jimmy Fallon
I'm so happy. I'm so happy I worked with you, but also I'm so happy I got to know you guys. I love you guys so much. I love you very. I can't wait. Tina Fey, amy Poehler, everybody. SNL 50th. The anniversary special airs this Sunday at 8:00pm on NBC. And Peacock Watch the night show ends the break. Everybody stick around. Thank you so much. Our next guest is a very talented actor who you know from the White Lotus. He stars in the new movie Bridget Mad about the Boy, which premieres tomorrow on Peacock. Everyone please welcome Leah Woodall. Leo, welcome to the show, bud. I appreciate this. Thanks for being here. White Lotus was your first major acting job. Yeah. And you were telling me backstage that you learned a pretty big lesson on doing that job. What was that lesson that you learned?
- [28:23]
Leo Woodall
Don't lie about skills you don't have.
- [28:26]
Jimmy Fallon
Okay, that's interesting.
- [28:28]
Leo Woodall
I told them. I told them that I could drive because they asked me and I said I didn't. You know, I'd just been cast. I didn't want to lose this job. So I said, yeah. And then. And then there was a scene. It was where I. Jack, he's like.
- [28:42]
Jimmy Fallon
Drives, but you don't know how to drive.
- [28:45]
Leo Woodall
When you say know how to drive, I mean, what do you really mean?
- [28:48]
Jimmy Fallon
Did you have your license?
- [28:49]
Leo Woodall
No, but they thought. They thought that I could do it. And I. And I turned up on set, and I saw that they had a stunt driver. So I thought, oh, I'm good. And then they said, you know, we want you to swerve up around the corner, stop on a dime, do the scene, swerve off, stop again, drop the phone out the car, and then bomb down the road. And I was like, I can't do this.
- [29:10]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't do this. This is not for me.
- [29:13]
Leo Woodall
And Mike was like, okay, well, yeah, let's have a practice at the. You know, the next bit. And so we.
- [29:17]
Jimmy Fallon
Mike White, the director.
- [29:18]
Leo Woodall
Yeah, Mike White got in the back of the car and. And I reversed. Initially, he was like, okay, maybe try again. So I then stopped to suddenly. And he was like, oh, screw this. And he got out of the car, and we walked towards the 2nd AD. Who I'd said, who I told that I could drive. And he was like. In front of that. He didn't realize that the whole crew was there, but he was like, hey, Joe. Joe, Home slice here. Can't drive.
- [29:45]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, Home slice here.
- [29:47]
Leo Woodall
And for the rest of the evening, you know, members of crew who I'd never met.
- [29:51]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
- [29:51]
Leo Woodall
Who would turn to me and go, so. Can't drive.
- [29:54]
Jimmy Fallon
Can't drive, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But here you are, though. Now you're in a big new romantic comedy. Bridget Jones, Mad about the Boy, opposite Renee Zellweger. I mean, come on, it's a big deal. Here you are. You played Bridget Jones, new love interest. Uh. And. And how fun was that?
- [30:10]
Leo Woodall
That so fun. I mean, she's.
- [30:12]
Jimmy Fallon
She's. She's the greatest.
- [30:14]
Leo Woodall
She really is the greatest.
- [30:15]
Jimmy Fallon
I saw a scene where you're. Were you, like, a ranger? No. Oh, yeah.
- [30:19]
Leo Woodall
I play a part ranger.
- [30:20]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
- [30:20]
Leo Woodall
And she and her kids are stuck up a tree.
- [30:23]
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
- [30:23]
Leo Woodall
And I come. And it's actually really embarrassing because it's another story where I clearly don't know how to work a vehicle. I swerve up in this, like. It's supposed to be.
- [30:33]
Jimmy Fallon
You swerve up again?
- [30:34]
Tina Fey
Yeah, me.
- [30:34]
Leo Woodall
And swerving, clearly.
- [30:35]
Jimmy Fallon
You gotta be kidding me. This is. Yeah. Wait, so you. Well, now you know how to swerve.
- [30:40]
Leo Woodall
No, I love this, like, little golf cart. This little park ranger golf cart. And it's supposed to be this, like, sexy, kind of cool introduction to my character. And I do. I rescue her. Then I'm supposed to walk away and swerve off again, but I couldn't turn it on, so I.
- [30:59]
Jimmy Fallon
It's a golf cart. Yes.
- [31:01]
Leo Woodall
It's a Golf cart.
- [31:02]
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my gosh, Leo, this is really bad.
- [31:05]
Leo Woodall
I'm never going to get one.
- [31:07]
Jimmy Fallon
Get in the golf cart. All you have to do is put your foot on the.
- [31:09]
Leo Woodall
You say that, you say that, but it's not that simple. It is that simple.
- [31:15]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, it is that simple. Yeah.
- [31:16]
Leo Woodall
But I just, you know, I tried it a couple times and it didn't work. And it gave me a bit of practice. And then for some reason, I was confident going back into the golf cart, and I was like, you know what? I'm holding my fleece in my hand. I'm just gonna chuck my fleece into the passenger seat. I'm just gonna chuck it.
- [31:33]
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, yeah. Sexy, like.
- [31:34]
Leo Woodall
But I chucked it through the golf cart. So I then have to, like, reach over and. But then my ribs hit the emergency stop button. So then when I tried it again, it didn't work. So when you watch the movie, you'll see me just walking away.
- [31:48]
Jimmy Fallon
I see. Oh, my God. So there's no golf carting in this. All right, there you go. Well, you have something to work towards. You have a goal. Hugh Grant returns in this film, and he's one of our favorites. Did you get to meet Hugh at all?
- [32:04]
Leo Woodall
I didn't meet him during filming. I met him at the Paris premiere.
- [32:08]
Jimmy Fallon
Oh.
- [32:08]
Leo Woodall
I'd had a couple chances to meet him before that, but I was just a bit too shy. I'd seen him, like, at St. Pancras and the station, and then we got to the place. Yeah, I just, you know, I just was too shy. And then I met him on the Paris red carpet, and I think I kind of blacked out, and I think I, like, grabbed his butt. But there's. I don't know if I grabbed it or not, but then someone showed me a photo, and it looks kind of like. No, it was you. Yeah, that's a full on.
- [32:39]
Jimmy Fallon
He grabbed his butt. Yeah.
- [32:40]
Leo Woodall
Yeah, it's a full grab.
- [32:41]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. That's awkward. Yeah. You can't. I was. That's you. That's your first time meeting him?
- [32:46]
Leo Woodall
That was my first time meeting him.
- [32:48]
Jimmy Fallon
Well, there you go. Might be the last time. Well, there you go. That's. All right. But he's. You'll meet.
- [32:52]
Leo Woodall
He's working out really well.
- [32:52]
Jimmy Fallon
You'll meet him again. Yeah. Well, I thought since this is your first rom com, we put your knowledge of rom coms to the test. Would you be up for this? I would, but. Okay, I'm going to say a quote, and you tell me what movie it's from.
- [33:05]
Leo Woodall
Okay.
- [33:06]
Jimmy Fallon
If you can remember these. All right. Ready?
- [33:08]
Leo Woodall
Okay.
- [33:08]
Jimmy Fallon
All right, let's try one. Ready?
- [33:09]
Leo Woodall
Oh, no.
- [33:11]
Jimmy Fallon
I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
- [33:15]
Leo Woodall
Nodding Hill.
- [33:16]
Jimmy Fallon
Yes, that's Nodding Hill. That's good. You're doing great. I'll have what she's.
- [33:27]
Leo Woodall
Oh. Harry met Sally.
- [33:30]
Jimmy Fallon
Yes. Yes. Oh. Ooh. That was a close fight.
- [33:33]
Leo Woodall
Making a comeback.
- [33:34]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. To me, you are perfect. Twilight. Yeah, it might actually be in Twilight, but no, it's from love, actually. Oh, no. Yeah. There's so many quotes I don't remember. That's a famous quote. That's a tough one. Oh, this one's good.
- [33:54]
Leo Woodall
Okay.
- [33:55]
Jimmy Fallon
You completely. Did you say again? Why would you laugh when you're looking right in the eye? Yeah, I looked at you right in the eye. I like completely. I like it. You completely. Yeah. Your heart just melted.
- [34:08]
Leo Woodall
Yeah. That's Jerry Maguire.
- [34:10]
Jimmy Fallon
That's Jerry Maguire. Yeah.
- [34:11]
Leo Woodall
Yeah.
- [34:11]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Here's the last one. Here. It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces. Bridget Jones. Yes, it is. Bridget Jones. If I got that wrong. If you got that wrong. No, you got it right, Leo. I cannot wait for this. I'm the biggest fan of Bridget Jones. I really love them. But how do we set up this one? Bridget Jones, Mad about the Boy.
- [34:40]
Leo Woodall
So, if you haven't already heard, Mark D'Arcy, her beloved husband and father of our children, is no longer with us.
- [34:47]
Jimmy Fallon
Yep.
- [34:48]
Leo Woodall
So she's kind of grappling with motherhood and, you know, life after loss, and she meets a few people along the way. Ones who can drive and ones who can't.
- [34:59]
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She might fall in love. I will say it's super funny, but also, it has a lot of heart.
- [35:05]
Leo Woodall
It's got a lot of heart, man.
- [35:06]
Jimmy Fallon
This one's my biggest.
- [35:07]
Leo Woodall
Yeah. Bring some tissue.
- [35:08]
