Video 6p. In Rockefeller center in the heart of New York City, it's the Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Tonight joins Jimmy and his guest Salma Hayaquino. Mel Beam. And featuring the legendary Roots crew. And now here he is. Gimme Fallon. Hey. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show. What a show we have for you tonight. Salma Hayek Pinot is my guest tonight. Salma is featured on the COVID of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Can we see it? Ooh. Salma is 58 years old. She looks amazing. Just for reference, here's a photo of my aunt Irene when she was 58 years old. 58 years old. And that was her in her bathing suit, too. Well, guys, today President Trump arrived in Qatar for the second leg of his trip to the Middle East. Trump's already getting a $400 million plane from Qatar, but I think he still wants more. All day was dropping hints like, I could really use a Rolls Royce to get me to the plane. Maybe a gift card to StockX. When Trump landed in Qatar, he was escorted by a fleet of cybertrucks, Arabian horses and camels. And even the horses and camels were laughing at the cybertruck. Yeah, Trump was welcomed by horses and camels. He was like, I love the horses and the sexier horses. Yep. These Middle Eastern countries are really trying to make Trump feel special. Yesterday, Saudi Arabia presented him with his own private McDonald's, and today in Qatar, they ordered from Cheik Shack. Amazing.
Salma Hayek
Wow.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Trump is halfway through his trip in the Middle east, and it seems like he's learning a lot about the region. Check out this video that he just released. This is President Trump, and I am now a total expert on all the countries in the Middle East. Countries like cereal, kumquat, salmonella, Miley Cyrus, chatgpt, Ba ba ba ba ba. Boran, lesbian. Ooh, Ipod and iPad. United Airlines pilots. And of course, my sugar daddy. And listen to this. Apparently, before Trump's new plane from Qatar can be used as Air Force One, it would need to be taken apart piece by piece, then put back together again. Yeah, they need to inspect every part of the plane for security. Yep. The mechanic will be like, yes, all good here. No spy cameras. This is good. Well, some business news. Airbnb. Now let's renters, book chefs, masseuses, personal trainers, and other types of services. Nothing sounds sketchier than the phrase other types of services. Massage. Some entertainment news that saw the streaming service. Max is now Changing its name back to HBO Max. People were like, well, as long as my parents keep paying for it, you can call it whatever you want. Meanwhile, Netflix just started construction on a $1 billion production facility in New Jersey. You'll definitely be able to tell which shows Netflix is shooting in Jersey, I think. Check out these new titles. First up, the show you is now just being called you's guys. Up next, Emily in Paris is now Snooki in Patterson. I can see a difference. Look at this one. Bridgerton is turning into Bridge and Tunnelton. Next up, is it cake? Is now. The hell is this? They almost ate it. What's the matter with you? And finally, with love, Meghan is becoming with love, Bon Jovi. Hey, I want that. Hey, I heard about a doordash driver who just admitted in federal court to stealing more than $2.5 million in a delivery scam. Yeah, it was a very complex scheme. He ate 10 million French fries. You guys see this? Amazon said they fired a driver who was caught going to the bathroom on someone's front porch. Even crazier, a few seconds later, it was stolen. Wow. Wow. Should have browned a little. Yeah. And finally, have you guys noticed that when you start typing something on Google, it automatically tries to complete the search for you? Yeah, it auto fills what you're looking for, but sometimes their suggestions are a little off. I'll show you what I mean. It's time for Google auto fails. Here we go. Just look at what I typed in today. Today I typed in is the new final destination, and these three things popped up. Scary. Rated R. A documentary about Newark Airport. Isn't that interesting? Just happened today. I liked that. Yes. Here's another one I typed in can I get sick from? And it said, expired food, leftovers, high fiving RFK Jr once. Really tough. Next up, I typed in, is it appropriate to. And it said, wear jeans at work, ask for a raise, exhale vape smoke while yelling, new Pope alert. That's pretty funny. Good bit, but I didn't type that. After that, I typed in, without federal funding, will pbs. And it said, go off the air, reduce programming, force Cookie Monster to sell feet pics. I go, wow, Google. Next up, I typed in what to do with my new neighbors that said, play loud music, didn't mow their lawn. Are the Menendez brothers, I don't know, say hi to them or what could happen. And finally, I typed in, is it normal to show up at promotion? It said, in a limo, in a party bus, in a free jet. I received from Qatar. Yeah, that's all for Google Autofills. We have a great show. Salma Hayapino is here. Mel B. Is joining us. Stick around, we're checking out some crazy bugs with Salma Hayekbino when we come back. Come on back. Look, I'm just conversing with the person. This is just a conversation. Don't even seem right. How tighter than Al Green. My lion team right at the house. We in everything tight. Our first guest is an Emmy winning, an Oscar nominated actor and producer. She's also on the COVID of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. It is on stands on Saturday. Everyone please welcome Salma Hayek. He know. Welcome, welcome, welcome back to the show. We have a lot to discuss.
Mel B
First of all, it was very interesting, huh?
Jimmy Fallon
It was. Congrats on this by the way, Real quick.
Mel B
Very different from the pony, from the ball, the ping pong ball that we drank last time I came here. You know that game?
Jimmy Fallon
What, beer pong?
Mel B
Yeah, beer pong. Very different.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, we do different things on this show. Yeah.
Mel B
Sorry, sorry I interrupted you. I mesmerized by the bugs.
Jimmy Fallon
No, no, no.
Mel B
You were talking about my cover.
Jimmy Fallon
I'm about to talk more about it. I'm gonna talk more about it. Wait, wait, but by the way, you were great with those bugs.
Mel B
I was surprised myself, but I'm not too bad with the bugs. But just you don't know what you're.
Jimmy Fallon
Like if you see a bug in your house or a spider.
Mel B
I'm the bug catcher. Everybody screams, everybody goes crazy and they start calling me. So I go and I take a Kleenex or something. Well, one time there was a big, big tarantula, but we need to use a glass for that one. A couple of glasses. But I go, I get them and I take them outside.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, you do you save them. Oh, that's so nice. I thought you were gonna say you get them.
Mel B
No, no, no, no, no.
Jimmy Fallon
I can't do. I don't do that. I'm very like, I open the door and go, hi, there it is. When you're ready to leave, figure it out.
Mel B
I'm not gonna lie. There's been extreme situations where I've had to get a cockroach here and there. But I do try to take care of it.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been there. I went to once I went to a hotel, I was in Okinawa, I was doing a stand up at these military bases and I was, and I walked to my room, it was cockroaches, like three of them. So I called the front desk, go, hey, there's cockroaches in my room. And they go, yeah, you're in Okinawa. It's gonna happen. I go, oh, my God. They go, just keep your luggage over, you know, elevated or something. I go, okay, whatever. And then so I left. I came, did my gig. I came back into the room, and there was a lizard on the wall. Giant lizard. So I called the front desk and go, hey, you gotta be kidding me. But there's a lizard on the wall. They go, that's good news. It eats the cockroaches. Swear to God.
Mel B
There you go.
Jimmy Fallon
All right.
Mel B
Did you just keep that?
Jimmy Fallon
I stayed up all night. Yeah. I couldn't sleep.
Mel B
One time I was sleeping and a coco rouge. I was a kid, got inside of my gown, and I felt it.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my God.
Mel B
And it was so disgusting. I grabbed her like this in the thing, and I'm screaming. And my cousins were staying with my brother, and they were. I think they were hungover or still drunk.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
Mel B
And I'm like, open the door. There's a cockroach. There's a cockroach.
Jimmy Fallon
It's like a scene from Alien. The things. The cockroaches coming out of your.
Mel B
I am holding it in the cloth, and my drunk cousin just went, ugh. And then the goo was inside. I had to go get scissors. And since then, I.
Jimmy Fallon
That's why you're not my favorite. You saved the bugs. Good for you. Lesson learned. Yeah. Of course I want to get into Sports Illustrated, but I also want to talk to you about. Sabrina Carpenter is one of our favorite guests, comes on the show. She has these great concerts, and she has this part of the concert where she arrests people in the audience. And you were arrested recently?
Mel B
Yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
You were getting arrested?
Mel B
My first arrest. Yes. Not too bad.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Now you. How was the handcuffs and everything?
Mel B
This is the thing. I kind of loved it. Except that afterwards, my daughter put it on.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Mel B
And we couldn't get them off. She had to go to school, and we couldn't get to the concert. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, eventually we started smacking on things, but. And she liberated herself from the handcuffs. But that was. That was kind of like. I just did not want to explain to the school.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, you don't handcuff our children.
Mel B
I handcuffed her on top of it.
Jimmy Fallon
You did? Yeah. You're like, I did, but I didn't mean it. Yeah, exactly. You've been working for many, many years, and I've heard some rumors and stories about you. Online. I was just wondering if I could maybe say something and you tell me if it's a true or false. Okay. Is it true that you almost produced and starred in a Wicked TV series?
Mel B
Half and half I almost produced, but I was never going to start. No.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, but you almost produced a Wicked based on the. On the. On the book.
Mel B
On the book, not the musical.
Jimmy Fallon
Wow. And would you have done it if. If they. If they did?
Mel B
No, I was never thinking of me. No, he wouldn't do it in the. In the. In the part.
Jimmy Fallon
In the role. No.
Mel B
Because I was just, you know, I'm one of those rare cases. Most of the things I've produced, except for Frida, I'm not in it.
Jimmy Fallon
Good for you.
Mel B
I do like a guesta, but I like to produce things for others to have the opportunities that they didn't give to me. So I like to give them to others.
Jimmy Fallon
Come on. That's what I'm talking about. I love that. That was one of my questions. I actually. Yeah, this is one of my questions I have. You were cast in your first American movie, Desperado, after the director, Robert Rodriguez, saw you on a Mexican talk show. Yes, that's true.
Mel B
Yes, that's very true. And the talk show, because I was a big star in Mexico, and here I started again as an extra, he said to me, this is ridiculous. Why are you doing this? Have you lost your mind? You will never make it here. There is no industry. There is no roads for us. It will never happen. And I said, it will happen because there's too many of us. There's just too many Latinos in the United States. We are a part of America. And one day they will realize that we also have an economic power.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
Mel B
And we want to watch this.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Good. And one day. And you'll be on the COVID of Sports Illustrated, too. Here you go. There you go.
Mel B
I was right.
Jimmy Fallon
Come on.
Mel B
They were wrong.
Jimmy Fallon
Congrats on this. When you found out this was going to happen, what were your reactions?
Mel B
I thought I was being punked. I didn't. It was so surreal. It was so surreal.
Jimmy Fallon
Why?
Mel B
Just because I'm 58.
Jimmy Fallon
All right. I know. Well, I'm still. Already. Already.
Mel B
When I was 20, I would look at this. Oh, my God, they're so beautiful. And I knew that my body type was not what they were looking for. So I never even imagined or dreamt of it because they were all the models of. I don't know if I can say the brand. Okay. But there was a brand that had the most Beautiful. And everybody was talking about them, and I was like, wow, who's the most beautiful girl this year? Because they always had the most beautiful. And I never even thought that one day I would be in it, not even when I was young. And here we are, girls.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes. You're doing it. And how. How did the shoot go? Did you learn anything while you're doing this shoot?
Mel B
Oh, yes. It was at the beginning. I was petrified. And I tried to get out of it. Okay. I tried to get out of it.
Jimmy Fallon
You did? You.
Mel B
I did. I became a diva. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's a guy. No, no, no, no, no. And my publicist told me, give it up. You cannot back up because it's like two days before you have to get on the plane.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Mel B
So I arrived. They lost the suitcases with all the bathing suit that they tried me. You're joking. No, everything.
Jimmy Fallon
They lost the swimsuit in the swimsuit issue. I don't know.
Mel B
Jeans, my things for under the eye, all my medications, you know, the hormones, everything.
Jimmy Fallon
And thanks for great photos.
Mel B
It was not a good night. And then, you know, all of a sudden, the first picture, a whale jumped behind us, and we're in Mexico. And I said, you know what? Give me Bad Bunny. We're gonna do this.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, that's right.
Mel B
So we started playing Bad Bunny.
Jimmy Fallon
You started playing Bad Bunny?
Mel B
Yes.
Jimmy Fallon
That's my dude. I love Benny.
Mel B
And then I was not.
Jimmy Fallon
So just.
Mel B
You just worried.
Jimmy Fallon
I mean, unbelievable. Just gorgeous. But see, I could never. I could never do any. Look at how sexy you look in the photo. I don't know how to do this.
Mel B
Yes, of course. You just did the right music.
Jimmy Fallon
You are talented. What?
Mel B
You just need the right music. I just need the right music.
Jimmy Fallon
I would never. I could never do this.
Mel B
Every girl can do the most amazing modeling job. If you're listening to the music that.
Jimmy Fallon
You can, you give us some type of reggae turn.
Mel B
Is that right, girls? You stop healing it.
Jimmy Fallon
Give me a tip. What can I do? How can I do it? Like, what camera do I look into?
Mel B
Okay, you have to pretend the camera is not there at the beginning.
Jimmy Fallon
Okay?
Mel B
And then first you have to feel the beat and move. Okay, let's see. You see? Come on. Come on, babe. So you get the beat. First you have to move very freely, you know? And then you have to. No, no, no.
Jimmy Fallon
That's how I move freely. Sorry.
Mel B
You have to. Okay, but then feel it. But feel the joy. Feel the joy. Because you look not like. You look tense, okay?
Jimmy Fallon
You look tense.
Mel B
You just have to feel the joy. Okay? Once you feel the joy.
Jimmy Fallon
Feeling the joy, you don't move, but.
Mel B
You keep feeling the joy. Oh, you see?
Jimmy Fallon
And you.
Mel B
So you feel it. You feel it. Feel it with your whole body. There you go. There you go.
Jimmy Fallon
You go. Now stop.
Mel B
There you go.
Jimmy Fallon
See how easy it is? Feel the joy. Then stop. Stop.
Mel B
My highest.

Salma Hayek
I am so excited.
Jimmy Fallon
You're a stunner.
Salma Hayek
I'm sorry I've been working all day, but this is the best moment right now. Well done.
Jimmy Fallon
Every time you. Come on. I always ask you, Spice Girls, what's happening? Oh, my God. Come on, big announcement, big announcement tonight.
Salma Hayek
You know what? I'm always the first person to say, oh, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. But just this once, I'm not saying anything.
Jimmy Fallon
Ooh, I'll take that. That means something. I'll take that as something.
Salma Hayek
Take it as you want to take it. Jimmy.
Jimmy Fallon
You are the best. Come on. Last time there was a mini Spice Girls reunion.
Salma Hayek
Not a mini.
Jimmy Fallon
A real reunion.
Salma Hayek
I mean, it was Victoria's 50th birthday. I mean, clearly we hadn't rehearsed in a while. But let me just give you the backstory. So Victoria's 50th, yada, yada, yada. It's all posh, it's all fancy, it's all lovely. And then one of her sons got up. Why are you smiling like that? That's kind of an evil smile.
Jimmy Fallon
No, you sound very posh.
Salma Hayek
Because she's posh.
Jimmy Fallon
Of course.
Salma Hayek
I know. I just realized I said that that's actually quite funny.
Jimmy Fallon
That's why I laughed.
Salma Hayek
Yeah. And then so her son got up to sing Mama, I love you. Right? So we had to make sure he was singing it in the right key. So then Mel C. Got up and I was like, why are we getting up? Doing a free concert.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, you're doing it for free. You gotta get paid for this.
Salma Hayek
I was the last one going up, going, why are we doing this?
Jimmy Fallon
Look at how good you are.
Salma Hayek
Look how to do it to the fans. That's the most important thing.
Jimmy Fallon
You know what? I want to talk to you because.
Salma Hayek
Not long.
Jimmy Fallon
Because it's a big deal. You're getting married.
Salma Hayek
I know, Jimmy, but I. I have an MBE given to me before the Queen died. Very special.
Jimmy Fallon
That's right.
Salma Hayek
Not for being a Spice Girl, by the way, but for doing all my raising awareness for domestic violence because it's a massive shamble.
Jimmy Fallon
I know what you've done a lot. It's amazing what you've done.
Salma Hayek
You know what? Can I just say?
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Salma Hayek
Three women a week get killed by their former partner or present partner in this day and age right now. So the statistics are not going any better, so I've got to keep on talking about it. But then. So, yeah, and then I'm getting married and my husband is a beautiful soul, but because I got the MB for all my. What do you call it? Proanthropy.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Philanthropy.
Salma Hayek
Phuh.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Salma Hayek
Well, why is it per her.
Jimmy Fallon
Okay, just for fun.
Salma Hayek
Anyway, so I'm getting married at St. Paul's Cathedral. And it's a big deal because, you know, when you get married there, not many people are allowed to get married there.
Jimmy Fallon
You have it.
Salma Hayek
No, because it's a big special.
Jimmy Fallon
You get to do this.
Salma Hayek
Yeah. And then you get to be interviewed by the dean and. And then it has to go through all this approval with the archbishop. I mean, they literally sit you down and say, why do you want to get married? And you go, well, why do I. No, I do remember why. I love this.
Jimmy Fallon
I love this.
Salma Hayek
And then you have to go through the whole ceremony and I've been practicing my. What, because the vergers. Is that how you say it?
Jimmy Fallon
I don't know.
Salma Hayek
You know what a verger is?
Jimmy Fallon
No. I've been a verger since.
Salma Hayek
Not a virgin.
Jimmy Fallon
A what?
Salma Hayek
A verger.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, yes.
Salma Hayek
So it's them that walk out in the gowns before the dean. And you have to have this whole, like, orchestra with all this, like, organ stuff, proper choir. You have to choose there. Princess Diana got married there. I feel very humble and honored. But you have to practice your walk and song.
Jimmy Fallon
What song? And then what song you're walking.
Salma Hayek
Well, this is the thing.
Jimmy Fallon
Spicy life?
Salma Hayek
No, that's what I wanted. Yes, but no, because it's very restricted, respectful and traditional. You have to choose certain songs and let me tell you, they are. I mean, it's not really my kind of music that I listen to, but it's very respectful, it's very grand.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, there's like an organ. There's.
Salma Hayek
There's an organ. I said that. And a choir.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
Salma Hayek
You're keeping track. Good. And everybody has to wear those fascinators, those little doink. Doink hats.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
Salma Hayek
And everybody has to be.

Jimmy Fallon
How is Simon?
Salma Hayek
Oh, Simon, Simon. But at the end of the day, you know, I'm in much of a business now.
Jimmy Fallon
You are?
Salma Hayek
Yeah. Because when I was doing America's Got Talent before, I was going through the divorce, the abusive coercive control. So I've kind of got rid of that. And you know all about survivors. Well, not. You're never 100% Jimmy. It's a work in progress.

Salma Hayek
