[Jimmy Fallon]

From studio 6b in rockefeller center in the heart of new york city, Mr. Tonight show starring jimmy fallon. Tonight joins jimmy and his guest, colin goat, sienna miller. And featuring team legendary ruth cruz. 229 2. And now here he is, jimmy bel. Thank you. Come on, Hats, hats. That's what I'm talking about. Thank you very much, everybody.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

This is it. Oh, you're here. You made it.

Well, everyone, President Trump kicked off his visit to China by spending the day with Chinese President Xi Jinping. And at one point, they toured Beijing's historic Temple of Heaven. Yeah. And it's much different than Trump's Temple of Heaven, which is a tanning bed inside a ball pit of McNuggets. Can we see a photo of China's Temple of Heaven? Yeah. Trump saw those stairs and like, you

[Colin Jost]

gotta be kidding me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But Izu, are you getting a nosebleed? Xi's just hping, that's a lot of stairs. Right away he was like, you have one of those stair jazzies. Meanwhile, both leaders sat down for a two hour meeting. And President Xi said that US China relations was will be defined by stability.

[Stuart Anders]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Because when you think of Trump, you think stability.

Yeah.

Yep. President Xi talked about a future where China and the US can work together. First with President Trump and eventually with President Spencer Pratt. Of course, one of the big topics the President discussed was Taiwan. Then Pete Hegseth leaned in and said, I want a Taiwan on right now. Come on. That's not.

[Colin Jost]

Come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. But President Xi said that the US and China should be partners, not rivals. And Trump took it a step further

[Colin Jost]

and said, I think of us as dictators with benefits.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Meanwhile, the White House said the focus of Trump's visit should be the three trade, technology and Taiwan. We actually got audio of the two leaders talking about them. Listen to this.

President Trump, it's time to discuss the three T's.

[Colin Jost]

Trump, Trump and Trump.

No.

Tic Tac Toe.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No.

[Colin Jost]

TikTok Temu and Tinder.

[Jimmy Fallon]

[Colin Jost]

[Jimmy Fallon]

No.

[Colin Jost]

No.

Tim the Tool Man. Talent.

No.

Thomas the Tank Tengen.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No.

[Colin Jost]

Kim Courtney and Khloe.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wrong letter.

[Colin Jost]

Tony. Tony. Tonight.

No.

Taylor Travis. Totally invited to their wedding.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really?

[Colin Jost]

No.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Sad.

Maybe we should move on.

[Colin Jost]

No.

[Sienna Miller]

I know it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Trade.

[Colin Jost]

Yes.

Technology.

Yes.

And Taco Bell.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Close enough. Yay. Interesting how they got to it.

Did you see this? Apparently Trump might issue 250 pardons to mark America's 250th anniversary. Trump said not to worry. They're all turkeys, gobbles, waddles.

[Colin Jost]

Mr. Beaks, you're free to go.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Some more political news. Trump just demanded that a Republican staffer, Robert Caram, be fired for making Mitch McConnell look out of it during a Senate hearing. Here to discuss this is Robert Caram's lawyer, Stuart Anders. Thank you for being here, Mr. Anders.

[Stuart Anders]

Thank you. Thanks, Jimmy. You know, Jimmy, you know, I just want to say right off the bat, my client did not make Mitch McConnell look, quote, out of it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay?

[Stuart Anders]

He just happened to notice that Mitch McConnell was giving mummy on weed gummy, so he just stepped over to make sure Mitch was still with us.

[Jimmy Fallon]

This is. So you're denying that your client made him look out of it?

[Stuart Anders]

Oh, categorically. I mean, sure, my client looked over and thought, man, Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle got into the Benadryl. But he didn't say it out loud.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, but you just did prove it.

[Stuart Anders]

Now, look, if my client inadvertently made Mitch McConnell look like a grandfather clock stuck in the middle of a. We will own that. But he shouldn't be fired over it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I think you should probably stop talking. I don't think you're doing your client any favors. You're making it worse.

How?

[Stuart Anders]

All I'm saying is my client looked over and thought, is that the cursed wax figure of a man who fell asleep while inventing unflavored oatmeal? No, that's Mitch McConnell. Maybe I should go over and give him a poke now. You gonna fire him for giving a little poke to an opera house gargoyle who just took way too big a bong hit? That don't make no sense. Now, to a Victorian undertaker who just

[Jimmy Fallon]

crawled out of a tauntau.

All right, that's enough. That's enough. Robert Karam's lawyer. Everybody just stop talking. Is it hot?

[Sienna Miller]

Hot?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Is it hot where you are?

It must be very hot.

[Stuart Anders]

Very hot over here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

Maybe you should go find some air.

[Stuart Anders]

I just saw a sleep paralysis demon who just donated blood.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Stop.

Stop saying what he looked like.

[Stuart Anders]

All I'm saying, man.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, I know. I heard you.

No.

[Stuart Anders]

Is that if you run into a busted Chuck E. Cheese animatronic.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, thank you. No, no, no, we're good. Thank you. Just. Please, Lee, just go.

Go get some air conditioner.

Well, finally.

Listen to this. Due to weight loss drugs like Ozempic, people are eating out less. And even when they do, they're ordering smaller portions and skipping alcohol. Oh, yeah, it's already affecting the restaurant business. I'll show you what I mean. For instance, Chipotle always has chips and salsa. Now they're offering chip and salsa. See what I'm saying? Yeah. Olive Garden used to offer endless soup, salad and breadsticks. But now they're offering just that weird pepper from the salad.

Little pepperoncini. That's all? Yeah.

That's all they're offering. Yep. Lastly, KFC is known for their eight piece buckets. Now they're offering one piece thimble. So there you have it everybody.

We have a great show. Give it up for the Right bomb. She's the biggest in Russia. My favorite cartoon after Mount Rich, the Honeymoon worry your mind? Just gag me with a spoon and tell me who lost Popeye out of Segoon? What a show we have for you tonight.

He is the co anchor of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.

Yes. Oh, you can now see him in

the new movie the Breadwinner which is in theaters made May 29th.

Colin Jost is here this evening.

She is a very talented actress who stars in the new movie Jack Ghost War which begins streaming On Prime Video May 20.

Sienna Miller is joining us. One of my all time faves. All time. Love it.

What a show. Hey guys, it's time to play the world's simplest game where I ask audience member 1 trivia question and if they get it right, the entire audience goes home with a prize.

Play one answer only. Hello.

What is your name and where are you from?

[Sienna Miller]

Sydney.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And I'm from Cortland, Ohio.

Yeah. Welcome Sydney. Now, okay, you heard.

You heard the rules. I will ask you a single tribute question and give you possible answers. If you guessed correctly, everyone in our audience wins a prize. It's that evening.

Are you ready to play?

Yeah. All right, here we go. Here is the question. This sequel about the fashion industry was just released and stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci. Is it a, Mortal Kombat 2? Is it B Sheep Detectives? Is it. Is it C the Super Mario Galaxy movie? Or is it D the Mummy? Or E Airbud? F Airbud Strikes Back. G that hopping light from the Pixar intro. H the Berenstain Bears. I the Berenstein Bears. J the character Bosch K Bob's Discount Furniture and Mattress Store. L the website Temu M. Harold Potter. Not the famous boy wizard who went by Harry Harold Potter was my ninth grade geometry teacher. Or is it N a bunch of leftover orange wedges from a Pee Wee soccer game? Is it O the soft Hum of a dishwasher. Not loud enough to interrupt anything. Just a steady, low reminder that something in your life is being handled without your input. You did your part by rinsing the dishes, and now it's up to this machine to ever so quietly finish the job. Is it P a waiter who sees an empty plate and says, guess someone didn't like their meal? Oh, sorry. We'll be right back after this brief message.

[Colin Jost]

Hello. Proper desk posture is incredibly important. Sit upright, keep your feet flat, and position your screen at eye level.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're welcome. It's so important to remember. Now, back to the game. Or is it Q peeling that little sticker off a piece of fruit but not getting the entire thing off and wondering if it's even that big of a deal. You eat a little paper. R. Making brief but still awkward eye contact with the guy delivering your Uber Eats order. Or S. The Devil wears Prada, too. Let's. Let's put 45 minutes on the clock, but if you know the answer, you can answer immediately. S. S Judges,

that is correct. Congratulations. That means everyone is going home with a pint of Ben and Jerry's tonight. Dough ice cream. Congratulations. Great job. We'll be right back with Colin Jost. Everyone. Come on back.

[Colin Jost]

Wow.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That was good. How do you know our first guest

from Saturday Night Live? And he's the host of Pop Culture Jeopardy. You can also see him in the new movie the Breadwinner, which is in theaters May 29th. Everyone, please welcome Colin Jones.

[Stuart Anders]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on. Welcome back to the show.

Looking sharp, bud. Thank you very much. Thanks for being here. How's the show going? SNL season finale this weekend.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Will ferrell and Paul McCartney.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on, bud.

[Colin Jost]

It's pretty good. People are like. It's so good. People are like, is the show ending? This is too good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, it's too good of ending, I think.

[Colin Jost]

So fun. I think they're on me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And it's going well?

[Colin Jost]

It's going great. I mean, Will is. As you know, he's unbelievable. He's not the best. One of the best. Ever.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ever.

Yeah, exactly. But thank you for taking your time out of your busy schedule to come here.

[Colin Jost]

I'm happy to procrastinate and not do any work upstairs.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I know they must be going crazy. But we all know you from Weekend Update, and you're fantastic at that on Saturday Night Live, and we love you. But this year, you've been crushing it. As Pete Hegseth in these cold opens.

Man, oh, man.

It's Funny. Here you are in a sketch with Matt Damon and Aziz. I'm sorry.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, it was really fun. I mean, it's very intimidating to have to go out and act next to Matt Damon.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's pretty good.

[Colin Jost]

He's a very skilled and accomplished actor.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's a pretty great actor because, you

[Colin Jost]

know, at snl, you just have to pretend like you can hang. And it's been really fun to do. And how did that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How did that happen? Did they just.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, just some writers. I don't even know exactly how it happened. I know, like Deach and Jake and Streeter. And they asked me, do you think I could try it at the table read? And I did it at the table read, but then I still didn't know if it was gonna get in. And then it worked. Addressed, but it. I didn't. I still.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Are they gonna recast me?

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. Recast or cut. And they basically told me about it. And I just watched some video of Pete Hegseth. It was the one where he. Remember, he like summoned all the generals to come meet him and then basically called a bunch of them fat, like, to their faces.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Remember that?

[Colin Jost]

He was like, I don't want these fat generals.

[Stuart Anders]

Yes.

[Colin Jost]

And it cut to the generals and they were like, whoa, Me? I flew out for this. And the best part about it was he was like, we're gonna start twice a year. We're gonna check everyone's weight and we're gonna check everyone's height. People forget. He also said twice a year he's gonna check grown men's height.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

I was like, how many of these 30 year old dudes are just shrinking and they have to get kicked out of the military? It was insane. We were pitching. We were talking in the writer's room. We were pitching ideas for one of the cold opens, like two months ago. And I was like, would it be funny if Hegseth just did that Bible verse that they have in Pulp Fiction? Remember? They're like from Samuel lgeel.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Colin Jost]

The same old Jackson.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. We talked about it and we were like, that would be too ridiculous. That would be. And it would take up all this time in the cold open. It would seem like we wouldn't. And then he for real did it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's right, dude. He for real did it.

[Colin Jost]

Like two weeks later.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Colin Jost]

And I was like, well, the good news is I'm being surveilled.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, that's a good.

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

So that's a relief.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The room is listed.

[Colin Jost]

It was crazy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I was gonna Ask you. Cause you written so many of these cold opens. Was it weird now and different that you're in them? And you're very weird?

[Colin Jost]

I mean, I feel so lucky to have gotten to do it and to get to perform. Like, if someone gives you that to go try and perform something, you know, it's like such a gift.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But do you give notes dressed as hegseth? And you're like, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Colin Jost]

I mean, I also, having written so many colopens in the past, and I'm very last minute with my changes, as anyone who's worked at the show will know. And now being on the other side, I feel like I owe a lot of former cast members apologies. Like, anyone who was in a cold open for the last 10 years, I'm like, why did I put you through this?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Should have had changes in earlier.

Yeah.

I remember doing, like, sno. If you did a sketch or wrote a sketch or you're in character and you're dressed up and you're going, no, we gotta cut that. Because blah, blah, blah. We're two minutes over and we gotta cut this. And someone's like, dude, you're dressed as a chicken.

I know, I know.

I understand.

[Colin Jost]

I know.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But I'm being serious. But I forget.

[Colin Jost]

You put it in perspective.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, exactly.

[Stuart Anders]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

When you're running around, I also saw you got to hang out with. With your buddy and our buddy Kate McKinnon, recently.

[Colin Jost]

Oh, my God.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's our pal. Where was this?

[Colin Jost]

Where was that? I'm still. I'm still learning how to pose for photographs.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's good.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. No, thanks. Yeah, I feel so natural.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Where was this?

[Colin Jost]

So we got invited to. My agent called me and was like, would you go to this event? Appear at this event? You and Kate McKinnon, you could both speak together at this event. And I didn't quite understand what it was, and I was like, sure, I would go have lunch with Kate McKinnon. So, yeah, we might as well speak and hang out and do something. And so I'm on my way to Philadelphia, and I still don't exactly know what it is. And I'm driving out of Philadelphia and I get sent the lineup of what the show is gonna be, like, the speakers, in order of who it's gonna be. So the lineup at this event was. First was George W. Bush. That was opener.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So you're following

[Colin Jost]

George W. Bush.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Sure.

[Colin Jost]

Then it was Tom Brady and Jason Kelsey together. Then it was Tina Fey.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay.

[Colin Jost]

Then it was Joe Biden. Then it was Barack Obama.

[Stuart Anders]

[Colin Jost]

And then after us was Garth Brooks. Like, how insane is that lineup?

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's a fun room to hang.

[Colin Jost]

It really is. I wish I had known who was gonna be there. I would have gotten there on time to see it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I love.

I wanted to hear all these people.

[Colin Jost]

I want to see all those people.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How did you do?

[Colin Jost]

It was really fun. I mean, I just came out and I literally said to the crowd, like, why are we here?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. This sounds like something that would only happen to. It's so funny. It was very you.

[Colin Jost]

And then it was just. What a great. It was really funny. Cause they had backstage just like, everyone had the space for their water bottle. And it was like, just the names of everyone there.

[Jimmy Fallon]

[Colin Jost]

I'm so much better at regular Jeopardy. Than I am at my pop culture Jeopardy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

[Colin Jost]

Yeah. Because I just don't know enough.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, it is enough. Yeah. But it's really great, and you're great at it. So new episodes air on Netflix, and then every.

[Colin Jost]

Yeah, like, every night, I think there's a new episode till the semifinals and finals that are coming in early June. And I gotta say, if you're a fan of Jeopardy. At all or just, like, general games, the semifinals and finals are. You can't believe the twists and turns of these games. It has nothing to do with me. They're incredible. They're incredible. I didn't mean. I didn't rig them. But the games and how they work out are like Some of the best games of any jeopardy I've ever seen.

The breadwinner. Yes, the breadwinner.

This is.

By the way, it's hilarious. It's you and Nate and Mandy Moore. How do we explain the film set so he.

[Colin Jost]

So. Well, Nate, I play a character named Connor. Cause I only like to play roles that are like within three letters of my actual name.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So smart. That's so smart.

[Colin Jost]

I transform into Connor. But the idea is Nate is like the breadwinner of his family. He's like a car salesman. And his wife is like the ultimate stay at home mom. Has had it all dialed in. And then she has this device and she goes on. It helps organize their kids lives. And she goes on Shark Tank. There's a really funny Shark Tank scene. And she basically. They're like, we wanna invest in you. But Nate has to stay home with the kids. And so Nate has to stay home with the kids. And I'm the only stay at home dad in the neighborhood.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Colin Jost]

And so I become really worried that he's gonna take over my territory.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Y.

[Colin Jost]

Like all I have are these moms.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's my thing. Yeah. I'm the. I'm the stay at home dad.

[Colin Jost]

Yes. And so Nate comes in and I'm. I'm pretty concerned about him taking over my multilingual. Multilingual.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Sienna Miller.

I love you.

[Sienna Miller]

I love you more.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Welcome. Welcome back to the show. And I can't even believe that you're here because you just had a baby three weeks ago.

[Sienna Miller]

It's. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Congratulations.

[Sienna Miller]

Thank you. It's crazy to be talking words and wearing, like, a dress. What has happened?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Do you even know where you are right now?

[Sienna Miller]

Nope. Not a clue.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay, good. No, but now you have a baby. A newborn. You have a toddler, and you have a teenager as well. Marlo.

[Sienna Miller]

Yeah. Marlo is nearly 14, who you love.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She's 14.

[Sienna Miller]

She'll be 14 in July. Not anymore.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, really, she is.

Who's Harder to juggle. Is that harder to juggle? The baby?

[Sienna Miller]

I would have said the teenage girl would be harder to juggle. Until the transatlantic flight I took yesterday with the toddler and the newborn. The toddler now wins hands down.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really?

[Sienna Miller]

It was an absolute disaster. Yeah, really. There's no negotiating. There's just like, no is no. And the. And then the looks people give you on the flight, I was like, oh, my God.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I know.

[Sienna Miller]

Baby's screaming. She's screaming. It was like, yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's like a movie.

[Sienna Miller]

I got to the line, the immigration line, and just broke down. I was just like, what do I do?

[Jimmy Fallon]

I can't handle all of this.

I can't do it.

I feel like I changed when I had kids because I would be one of those people that would stare at me like, are you seriously. That kid is screaming, shut that kid up.

Yes.

Yeah. Or I have to move.

[Sienna Miller]

Then comma comes and just.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Whoa. And then. Yeah, now I'm the guy. If there's a crying baby, I'm like, do you want me to go? Yeah, yeah, I can carry the baby. I'm walking around. I'll make it.

[Sienna Miller]

It really divides. There are those people on the flight who are like, you know, really sweet. And then there are the.

[Colin Jost]

Let's do it.

[Sienna Miller]

Yeah. The others.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But you're busy, busy, busy doing crazy work. I want to talk about this Jack Ryan movie, but also the Madden movie that you're doing.

[Sienna Miller]

I know.

[Jimmy Fallon]

With David O. Russell.

[Sienna Miller]

I know. When it's done.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's done.

[Sienna Miller]

It's done.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How are you doing all this stuff?

[Sienna Miller]

No, this was before. This was before.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay. Yeah, but what a cast. Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage.

[Sienna Miller]

Kathryn Hahn.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Kathryn Hahn.

I would do anything with everybody, with all. It's you as well.

[Sienna Miller]

She came on here and she, like, sang. She did some amazing. She sang.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No, she's unbelievable.

[Sienna Miller]

She's unbelievable.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She's the best.

[Sienna Miller]

She's the best.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But you looks like you got some good wig work in this movie.

[Sienna Miller]

David O. Russell loves. Yeah. Loves some hairdos.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's you as Carol Davis.

[Sienna Miller]

And she talks like this.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She does.

[Sienna Miller]

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, Karoli.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Of course you do all this.

[Colin Jost]

It was great.

[Sienna Miller]

It was so much fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really. All right, when that comes out, you gotta come back and talk about that. And how's Nicolas Cage? Have you worked with him?

[Sienna Miller]

Amazing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Have you worked with him before?

[Stuart Anders]

No.

[Sienna Miller]

Do you know what the first ever screen test I ever did was for National Treasure. Is that what it's called?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Sienna Miller]

I'm saying words. Words are Coming out of my mouth.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, yes, you are talking.

[Sienna Miller]

And no, but weirdly. And I actually didn't mention it to him, but I had met him on that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wait, so.

[Sienna Miller]

And I remember a line. It was. I think it was something like. It's hermetically sealed in a bulletproof thermopane case. I don't know why I remember that, but I do. I literally don't know my own name, but I remember that line.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And you worked with him and you didn't.

[Sienna Miller]

And I forgot. You forgot that I wasn't even pregnant, but I forgot.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

And let's talk about this. Let's talk about Jack Ryan.

[Sienna Miller]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ghost War. John Krasinski, who plays Jack Ryan, also co wrote the script.

[Sienna Miller]

Yes. Produced it. It's a one man band. That guy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But explain how this guy. You got involved with this.

[Sienna Miller]

Because Emily Blunt, I'm gonna name drop, but is one of my best friends. So I was. John.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, we love Emily Blunt.

We love Emily Blunt.

He's so.

[Sienna Miller]

And John Krasinski, for her 40th birthday, took us all, took 10 of us to an island. It was really quite beautiful.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Sienna Miller]

And we had several cocktails and I was having a moan about something and being in independent films that seven people see and I was like, I just need to do an action film. And John and Emily looked at each other and were like, yes, Jack Ryan. So that's. I literally threw myself at him really, to get this film.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And you said, put me in this.

[Sienna Miller]

And then he wrote it for me and it was very sweet, but I was like, yes, yes. An action movie.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. And what is your name in the movie?

[Sienna Miller]

Agent Marlowe. My daughter's called Marlow. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The best thing that made me so happy.

[Sienna Miller]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And how are you in an action film? I bet you'd be. Well, you're great in everything.

[Sienna Miller]

Thanks. I mean, it was, you know, the weapons didn't come naturally at first. Holding the rifle, I would have a wing up and John would be like, you know.

[Jimmy Fallon]

By the way, that was a great sound effect.

[Colin Jost]

What was that?

[Jimmy Fallon]

That was amazing.

[Sienna Miller]

Is that me?

[Jimmy Fallon]

How in the heck did you just. Wait, how did you do that?

I don't know that happened. Wait, can we play that back?

[Sienna Miller]

What was that?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Can we play that back? Cause I've never.

[Sienna Miller]

My arm just like air fart or something.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's the funniest thing. It was your microphone, but I want to hear that.

[Sienna Miller]

Maybe I went. Did I do it?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Did you move your other arm while that was going? Can we play it back? Because that was really funny. There we go. Ready?

[Sienna Miller]

You know, the weapons didn't come naturally at first. Holding the rifle, I would have a wing up, and John would be like,

[Jimmy Fallon]

how'd you do that? It's like you ripped. It's like you ripped paper. That is serious. Fantastic. You're magic. That is the coolest thing that's ever happened to you.

You are magic, buddy. You are a magical person. I love you, man.

[Sienna Miller]

Come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I love you more. How do we set up what's happening in so cool.

[Sienna Miller]

I need it as a ring to actually a text tone. When I text you, that's the text.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, Perfect. I love that. Yeah. How do we set up what's happening in Jack Ryan?

[Sienna Miller]

Jimmy? I mean, okay, Jack Ryan is. People are huge fans of the show, so I do. I'm very excited to be a part of the movie version. There's a global threat, and I am an MI6 agent that teams up with Jack Ryan. That's about all I've got.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's good.

And that's why we want you to see you, everybody. Jack Ryan, Ghost War begins streaming on Prime Video May 20th. Sienna and I are doing something fun after the break. Stick it around. Here we go.
