• Super Bowl Picks Bit:

  • Football legend predictions are humorously recapped with Gronk’s:
    • ([04:41]) “Both teams good. Both teams want win. One team score more. One get shiny ring. Gronk like shiny ring.”

[Jimmy Fallon]

From Studio 6P in Rockefeller center in the heart of New York City, it's a Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Tonight joins Jimmy and his guest, Kendall Kenner. Rob Grump house and featuring speed legendary roots crew 2248. And now, here he is, Jimmy Bellamy. Ra. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself.

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

This is it. You're here. You made it. Thank you for watching.

Well, guys, just as the country digs out from last weekend's storm, it looks like another one is coming this weekend, and it's being called the bomb cyclone. It's expected to be the biggest bomb this weekend, not counting the Melania documentary. Speaking of the Trump administration, they just announced that they're going to negotiate a lower price for 15 drugs, including Botox. You like that? So if you're mad about grocery prices, at least you won't look it. I read that the Florida Senate has advanced a bill to name the Palm beach airport after President Trump. It's perfect, because just like the man, the airport's full of McDonald's and Cinnabones.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You'll know it's Trump. You ready? You'll know it's Trump airport when they deice the plane with the tanning bed. You'll know it's Trump Airport when all the planes are a gift from Qatar. You'll know it's Trump's airport when your carry on has to be smaller than Marco Rubio. You'll know it's Trump's airport when the pilots are like, is there a doctor on board who will say, I'm £215? Thank you very much. You guys see this? You guys see this? The Justice Department just said that they still don't have a timeline for releasing the Epstein files. America's like, no rush. We know it's hard to press control print. Yep, they're close. They just have to dot the I's and cross out all the Trumps. Well, switching gears to some entertainment news. The fourth season of Bridgerton premieres tomorrow on Netflix. For Trump, it's not the love scenes that are hot. It's the ballrooms. That chandelier is really doing it for me. Well, get this. A new survey found that Apple customers aren't buying the new slimmer iPhone.

[Tom Brady]

Air.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ooh.

Apparently, people didn't want the ability to accidentally drop the phone into even smaller cracks. Wait, it just went between the floorboards. Meanwhile, people are loving the new Samsung Mega stuff. Galaxy. Some big news about the economy this week. The dollar hit its weakest level in four years. Yeah. A dollar doesn't buy what it used to. I stopped by Dollar General this morning and I have to agree. The only things that they were selling were head or shoulder shampoo.

Oh, wow.

Couple minutes energy and the scrub uncle and I was like, it doesn't buy. At least they're still trying. They're trying, but I never heard of scrub uncle. Well, I read that according to new census data last year the US Population grew at one of the slowest rates in history. Yeah, it's not a great sign when the entire country is not in the mood. But thanks to Bridgerton coming back, we're nine months away from reversing that.

Come on.

Well, guys, Super Bowl 60 is in less than two weeks. The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the New England Patriots, and some football legends are already weighing in with their predictions for the big game. Check out what they're saying. Michael Strahan said, it's a great matchup, but I think Darnold's accurate passing will put the Seahawks over the top. Troy Aikman said, I have to disagree. I think New England wins because Drake may will be a major threat in the running game. And finally, Gronk said both teams good. Both teams want win. One team score more. One get shiny ring. Gronk like shiny ring.

Well, there you have it. My God. Rob Gronkowski. I, I, hello.

I didn't know that. I didn't know that you were already here. You didn't see that bit. I just did. Did you?

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah, but Gronk no talk like that. Gronk used words.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Good.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Jamie hurt Gronk's feelings.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Gronk, it's okay. To quote Gandhi, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's beautiful.

[Rob Gronkowski]

No, that's Gandhi.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I broke you. Rob Gronkowski, everybody.

Come on. That's rob gronkowski. That's gronk right there. The best.

And finally, a man was just sentenced to four years in prison for trying to rob a Taco Bell with a rock. He tried to rob a Taco Bell with a rock, but the cashier defeated him with paper.

We have a great show. She is one of the biggest supermodels in the world. Kendall Jenner is here tonight. Super bowl champion Rob Gronkowski is joining us. Stick around.

Our first guest is a successful businesswoman and one of the biggest supermodels in the world who just teamed up with Fanatics Sportsbook for a brand new campaign called Bet on Kendall. Please welcome Kendall Jenner.

That's what I'm talking about. Feel the love. Welcome. Thank you.

Kendall. Great to see you. Welcome back to the show.

[Kendall Jenner]

Thanks.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How's the fam? We had Kim on a couple months ago, and your mom and your sister stopped by and kind of crashed the party. It was super fun.

[Kendall Jenner]

Oh, yeah. Everybody's good. Everybody's busy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Kendall Jenner]

All good things.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Give them my love. Yeah. Your mom just celebrated a big birthday, right?

[Kendall Jenner]

Yes. 70.

[Jimmy Fallon]

70 years old.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah.

[Kendall Jenner]

And looking amazing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She's amazing.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah. She has, like, the best spirit, too. It's like, she just. I hope to be.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She's so fun.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And you wait, but you also had a birthday around the same time.

[Kendall Jenner]

30. Yeah. So it was a big year.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah, it was a big year.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You celebrate together?

[Kendall Jenner]

No, well, I. You know, they were two really big birthdays, so we gave them to each other. But, yeah, I feel like there's, like, a lot of pressure on big birthdays, and turning 30 is one of those. So I planned this whole trip for 30 of my friends and I, and we had the best time ever. But I felt like at the end of it, I was like, did I just turn 30? Like, that was a lot. It was kind of overwhelming.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're organizing and doing everything. Yeah, exactly. But it's just you and your friends in chill.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah. No, it was honestly the best. I have zero complaints. I'm so grateful.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And what did mom do?

[Kendall Jenner]

She had, like, a big blowout, which I feel like everybody kind of heard about. But it was so her. And I feel like mine was very me, hers was very her. And I've never, like. I wanted to cry half the night. I was observing her because she was so happy. She was beaming, and it was just the joy. And she just had all the people she loves around her and that love her back. And that was so cool.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I saw something. You were having a really good time at your party. Cause I saw a couple of pictures, I think. Did Justin Bieber get up and sing?

[Kendall Jenner]

Oh, yeah, he did.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He.

Wait, that's.

[Kendall Jenner]

He just does that sometimes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's fun.

[Kendall Jenner]

No complaints. No, he was so. It was really cute because the song he was singing, Devotion. Well, we all sang a few songs. We were pretty under the influence.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Sure. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay.

Yeah.

[Kendall Jenner]

But he sang a couple songs. But then. Or we all sang a couple songs, and he kind of called at me from across the room because the song he sang was Devotion. And before the album came out, Devotion was, like, one of my favorites. And there was a moment where it almost didn't make the album. So. Not that it was up to me at all, but I. I pushed for the song a little bit dedicated to you, and he knew I loved it. So for my birthday, he was like, kendall, this is for you. And so I was very in the moment with him, but we had the best time. It was so much fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You always do stuff that makes me laugh, and I kind of. I want to remember them, because every time you come on, I want to talk to you about these things. You did something with your sister. Oh, yeah. You posted a video. Okay. And it's gone incredibly viral. That's like 70 million views or something crazy like that. But it's you and Kylie hanging out on the beach. And what you're doing. You were picking out rocks out of the ocean and then naming them.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah, Edward.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And then throwing them back in the ocean.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah, Big daddy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Here's you and Edward.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah, that's me and Edward.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. What made you. It made me laugh. It's so silly. What made you do this? And tell me about Edward.

[Kendall Jenner]

We. Well, Kylie's like. Kylie's my comfort person, and we get a little bit drunk together. I feel like our purest selves come out. And so it was just one of those days. We had had, like, maybe a, you know, pina colada or something or two. And we were just at the beach, enjoying the sunset, and Edward came to us, and I felt like, Edward the rock should be rescued and put back in the ocean.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. Shout out, Edward, if you're watching. Glad you're back in the. Glad you're back in the water, bud. You're one of the most successful supermodels in the world, and you got to do something very cool recently. You got to walk. This is the Vogue World Hollywood show.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And you got to wear the outfit Nicole Kidman. This is what she made famous in Moulin Rouge.

[Rob Gronkowski]

It's.

[Kendall Jenner]

It was such a dream come true. Cause that movie was, like, my favorite growing up.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It was insane.

[Kendall Jenner]

She's just the best, obviously. But that was an exact replica. And I am so, like, I'm so grateful that I got to wear it in the first place. But the woman who made the original made this one for me, so it was a perfect replica. And it was so cool. I didn't get to see Nicole in it, but I'm honestly probably for the better. Cause I would have been like, I'm so sorry. Like, I should not be wearing this. You did it so much better.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, stop.

[Kendall Jenner]

No, truly.

[Jimmy Fallon]

She must have been touched. And that's cool.

[Kendall Jenner]

It's so cool. And then for my 30th VOT, let me keep it as a birthday present. So now it's in my archive.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No way.

Yeah.

It was really super nice.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Happy birthday to you.

[Kendall Jenner]

Thanks.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You also do something very cool, and I don't know if many people know this, but you're a competitive rider. Horseback.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah. Horses.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Yeah.

And you actually do compete still. Here you are here jumping. That's impressive.

[Kendall Jenner]

It's my overachiever.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's impressive.

Thanks.

Now, how do people react when they know that they're competing with Kendall Jenner?

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah, they don't. Well, not that I think anyone would really care, but it's very, like. It's very precious to me to be doing this. And I'm also extremely nervous going into a show arena. So for myself, I don't really, like. I want to avoid all nerves. So I think having my name taken off of it just helps me go in and be like, nobody's watching me. Nobody cares.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, you don't say that. It's you.

[Kendall Jenner]

No.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You have a fake name.

[Kendall Jenner]

I use, like, a fake name. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really?

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah. But I love it, and I just feel like one of the girls.

[Jimmy Fallon]

They don't even know that they're competing against you. You just.

[Kendall Jenner]

No, I don't think so. I would assume not.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What is your fake name?

[Kendall Jenner]

Well, I'm not gonna tell you. Ruins the whole purpose.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Edward Rockenstein.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Let's talk about your new super bowl campaign with Fanatic Sportsbook. This is a big deal. Have you ever done a Super bowl campaign?

[Kendall Jenner]

No, of course not.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Oh, my gosh.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Congratulations.

It's a big deal. It's so exciting.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah. It's been very fun and quite the honor. And we had so much.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's centered around a thing called the famous Kardashian curse. Can you explain what that is?

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah. So essentially, the Internet has created this narrative about the Kardashian curse, which is the idea that if an athlete dates me or one of my sisters, that they are then cursed, which. Please. But is that really true? But I got a commercial out of it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, There you go. Yeah.

[Kendall Jenner]

So we had lemonade, baby. Yeah. We had so much fun doing it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And we actually released a video this week to launch the campaign. I have some of it here. Watch this.

[Kendall Jenner]

Haven't you heard the Internet says I'm cursed? Any basketball player who dates me kind of hits a rough patch. While the world's been talking about it, I've been betting on it. How else do you think I can afford all this modeling?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ah, that's really funny.

[Tom Brady]

Now.

[Jimmy Fallon]

What's gonna happen now? You're gonna.

[Kendall Jenner]

So, yeah, it's really actually become pretty fun. I get to. With Fanatics Sportsbook, I'm going to place my bet on who I think is going to win. And if I win, my winnings will go to a charity of my choice. If Fanatics wins, their winnings will go to a charity of their choice. So it's been with all love and with fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So it's a win win.

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But then what do we do? We vote with you or.

[Kendall Jenner]

I feel like I need some help deciding who I'm going to go with because I don't really know a ton about football. If I'm being honest with you. I'm just learning.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, really?

[Kendall Jenner]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Do you have any idea at all, like, who do you think you're gonna. Who will win the Super Bowl?

[Kendall Jenner]

I have some ideas of my own, but, like, can I phone a friend? I brought my phone. If I can phone a friend.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Sure. I was. You're gonna ask me. You can phone a friend? Sure.

[Kendall Jenner]

I mean. Okay.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay. I was gonna give you my input, but just guess it doesn't matter.

[Kendall Jenner]

You can get yours after I talk to my friend.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay.

[Kendall Jenner]

Hi.

[Tom Brady]

How you doing?

[Kendall Jenner]

I'm good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How are you?

I'm good.

[Tom Brady]

What you up to?

[Kendall Jenner]

Not much. I'm just here with Jimmy.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Hi.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Hi.

[Kendall Jenner]

Tom and some friends.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Dude, that's Tom Brady. Come on. What is going on?

Let me see.

Hey, yo.

[Kendall Jenner]

Sorry to do this to you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Sorry to say.

Hi, Tom. How are you, bud? Nice to see you.

[Tom Brady]

I haven't seen you in a long time, man.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You look good, pal. So wait, Kendall has a question for you.

[Kendall Jenner]

So basically I. I am trying to figure out who I want to go for for the Super Bowl. And I am an information person. I feel like I need all the information I can get to make a educated decision. And I was thinking you're the perfect person to ask for that information.

[Tom Brady]

I hope I am.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, Tom, give us some scoop. Who's going to win?

[Tom Brady]

Oh, God. Wait a minute. There's a whole. We got two weeks to prepare for this. Who's going to win? I don't know. Look, I think this Seattle defense, they're like all time. They can get pressure with four. It lets them drop seven guys into coverage. They can cover all day long. Six different guys hit over 20 miles per hour at some point during the year. And you guys know Nick Emanwari, right?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Kendall?

[Kendall Jenner]

Of course. Of course.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Kendall Jenner]

He played a huge part in Seahawks.

[Tom Brady]

Ending up as the number one overall defensive dvoa. You guys track dvoa, right?

[Kendall Jenner]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my God. All the time. I, I, that's, I'm a nut. I'm enough for that stuff, right?

[Tom Brady]

In New England, like, where, I mean, it's all about, like, what a story. Mike Vrabel. You guys ever partied with raves?

[Jimmy Fallon]

All the time.

Rave. My God.

[Tom Brady]

Raid raves.

[Kendall Jenner]

Are you kidding me?

[Jimmy Fallon]

That dude, that party is the best.

[Tom Brady]

Yeah, great dude. Anyway, they led the league with a 8.9 yards per attempt. I've always said it's one of the most efficient ways to identify the leagues.

[Kendall Jenner]

Right.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So offensive schemes.

[Kendall Jenner]

Understood, understood. I, I feel like, really, really, really helpful. I am going to process all this information, but I really appreciate the phone call.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you for answering. Tom Brady, everybody. Come on. That's my man. You're doing a great job, buddy. You're doing a great job.

Good to see you.

Thank you.

All right, Kendall, that's Tom Brady.

[Kendall Jenner]

Thank you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That was the real Tom Brady.

That's so rad. All right, Kendall, did you get all that?

[Kendall Jenner]

No.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay. No, but would you like to reveal?

[Kendall Jenner]

I mean, I feel like I'm gonna go with my gut here. Right. I feel like I am gonna go with the underdog and I feel I'm gonna go Patriots.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow. Okay. The New England Patriots. Kendall Jenner said they're going to win the super bowl. Super Bowl 60 airs Sunday, February 8th on NBC. We'll be right back with Rob Gronkowski.

That was cool.

That's the best. Thank you. Our next guest is a four time.

Happy to be here. Welcome back to the show. You really are one of my faves. I love when you come on. I love talking football with you. What do you think of the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl.

[Rob Gronkowski]

But, yeah, it's just amazing. I mean, with head coach Mike Vrabel, you know, taking the Patriots to the super bowl in his first year as a head coach. I saw the New England Patriots making the playoffs this year. I thought Buffalo Bills were going to win the division and that the Patriots were going to get in as a wild card. And they have just exceeded expectations like I've never seen before. And just to have this turnaround this year is just so remarkable. It's been so fun to watch. And then just to see them win the games and win the way that they're winning as a team, it just reminds me of the era when I was there and we were winning Super Bowls as well. So I'm pumped up. The Patriots are back, baby. I mean, come on, let's go, let's go.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Last time the Patriots played the Seahawks in the super bowl, this happened. There you go. Come on. That's what I'm talking about.

[Rob Gronkowski]

That is right. So that was Super Bowl 49 about 11 years ago. And this is a rematch of Super Bowl 49. It was Seattle Seahawks, they were going to to try to repeat as champions and we stopped them and we ended up winning the game 28 to 24. And it was one of the best Super Bowls of all time. And Malcolm Butler had that game ceiling interception which will be legendary forever.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's awesome, bud. I know that you, you. I agree. You actually signed a one day contract with the Patriots this fall and retired as a Patriot. Congratulations.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yes, I appreciate that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's a big deal.

[Rob Gronkowski]

That's where my career started and that's where my career needed to end. Yes, I had a great two year stint down in Tampa Bay, but I'm a New England Patriot for life. You know, that's going to be a home forever. And me signing that one day contract, I'm still wondering right now, do I get a ring as well? Super bowl ring?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, of course. Yes. It's the Patriots. When you better get a ring.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah, that will be my fifth then.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh my God. You have five rings.

[Rob Gronkowski]

That'll be definitely my easiest ring, you know, but still take it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. This has kind of become a tradition for us. We do a bit in the show. I asked you to pick your super bowl winner for the last three years and it hasn't really gone well. I. Let's. Do we really gotta rekindle this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta watch this. Yeah. Look at this. All right, fine. The super bowl is set. It is Eagles versus Chiefs. What does Gronk think about this?

[Rob Gronkowski]

I'm go with the Eagles.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And the Kansas City Chiefs have won Super Bowl 57.

Super bowl set. Okay, you have Kansas City Chiefs 49ers.

[Rob Gronkowski]

I'm going to go with San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs beat both number one seeds in the post season when they are the super bowl champions.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Kansas City Chiefs versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Gronk, who you taking?

[Rob Gronkowski]

The Kansas City Chiefs 30. The Philadelphia Eagles 26.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The Vince Lombardi trophy is headed to Philadelphia. Eagles fly in Super Bowl 59. Okay.

All right. So not the best.

[Rob Gronkowski]

As an analyst on Fox. You're making me look really bad right now.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Did you want to FaceTime Tom Brady?

[Rob Gronkowski]

I would, but I know he wouldn't answer. I'm not a supermodel.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay, perfect. Who do you pick? Rob Gronkowski to win Super Bowl 60. Will it be the Seattle Seahawks or the New England Patriots?

[Rob Gronkowski]

Well, I'm gonna break the trend of being wrong. And I'm going with the New England Patriots.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, yes. Wow.

[Rob Gronkowski]

I will be right this time. And I'm going with the same exact score as when we beat them in Super Bowl 49. New England 28.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow. There you go.

You guys heard it from Gronk himself.

I have to ask you this because it was all over the news today, but your former coach, Bill Belichick, who has won eight Super Bowls, including six as head coach, he reportedly failed to make the Pro Football hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility. How does this happen?

[Rob Gronkowski]

It's completely just absurd that Coach Belichick was not a first ballot hall of Famer into the Pro Football hall of Fame. Like you said, a Super bowl rings two as defensive coordinator with the New York Giants. Six throughout his time with the New England Patriots. The second most winningest coach in regular season history. The winningest coach in playoff history. But here's the thing about Coach Belichick that is not on the resume as well. That I would say would include, you know, as a point to why he should be in the Pro Football hall of Fame as a first ballot. Because he touched so many lives as well, and he gave so many opportunities to so many different players and coaches to succeed. I would not be sitting here right next to Jimmy Fallon if it wasn't for Coach Belichick drafting me in 2010. To the new England Patriots. So, Coach Belichick, thank you for everything you have done. You are a first ballot hall of Famer.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, he is. Everyone else's book, one of the greatest coaches.

Iq.

Very well said. I agree.

Thank you for saying that. No doubt. I know you're wearing that beautiful green suit. You look sharp.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yes, I appreciate that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The super bowl is right around the corner and once again, you're partnering with Bounty. Okay, tell us. I think this is a genius idea. I thought it was great. Bounty is your wingman.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yes, they are.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Tell me about the campaign.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah, so it's a wonderful campaign. This is my fourth year doing it and it's always campaign throughout the playoffs, when it's NFL playoff time. It really is genius. And last year, Drew Brees was my wingman. Why? Because the super bowl was in New Orleans, and I needed Drew Brees to bring me around the city. And he's an absolute legend in New Orleans, winning the super bowl there, and he did a great job with that. I love Drew Brees. And now this year, I wanted to switch it up a little bit, and I wanted a co worker, someone to help me out throughout the year, you know, that gives me tips, you know, better than Tom Brady does. And it's Carissa Thompson. She's a co worker with me as an analyst. And whenever I'm down and I'm stuck and I'm like, hey, what about this player? What does he do great? She's always there to help me out. So she is my ultimate wingman this year. And there's a saying out there as well, is that you can't have football without wings, and you can't have wings without football. And I am all about football. I'm all about wings. I'm from Buffalo, New York, and I'm all about bounty paper towels. Cause I always need to clean up my mess if it's eating like a caveman or if it was the mess I was causing, you know, in my younger days off the field.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. By the way, I think it's brilliant, because how many wings, by the way, do you ever. At one sitting?

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah. So the most I've ever had in one sitting was 24 when I was in college, and it was all, you can eat wings for 9.99. So after you're full, dude, I did that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Where? At the ground round. Where was it?

[Rob Gronkowski]

Oh, no, it was. I. I remember the ground round.

[Jimmy Fallon]

My friend ate 100 wings.

[Rob Gronkowski]

I think 100 wings. We don't have. We didn't have sitting well.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We didn't have money, and we really didn't eat food. So he was like. He was stocking up for a year.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah, you got to do that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Went to hibernation.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah. I'm not like Kobayashi of eating wings.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, no.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah. I had, like, 20, and I was, like, pretty full, and I was like, you know, it's all you can eat. You got. You got to get the most bang for your buck. So then, you know, you just keep shoving them in. 24 is my record. Oh, all right.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But what if we put.

What if we put.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Are these Buffalo wings?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, of course they are.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Okay. I'm from Buffalo.

[Jimmy Fallon]

They're from Buffalo. This is. Okay. What if we put 30 seconds on the clock and see how many wings.

All right.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Is that blue cheese? That is blue cheese because I'm a blue cheese guy. Some people prefer ranch, but when you're from Buffalo, it's blue cheese. Okay.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Okay.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And we have Bounty right here. Whenever you're ready. Gronk will get 30 seconds on the clock.

[Rob Gronkowski]

30 seconds. All I can eat?

[Jimmy Fallon]

All you can eat. Ready, set, go.

One down.

[Rob Gronkowski]

That's good.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Two down. The beast. He's eating the bones.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Oh, my God.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's a beast.

Three down. Three down.

Oh, my gosh. We're really gonna do this.

Four down. Don't eat the bone. Don't eat the bone.

I got four down.

Don't choke either. You have nine seconds. Eight seconds. Seven second. Six seconds. Two, one. Stop right there. Good job.

Yeah, that totally Those three count. Here's some Bounty paper towels to clean up. Here you go. Right there. Yeah, no problem, bud.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Can you do it for me?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, yeah, I'll do it for you, buddy. I'm your. I'm your wingman. No problem. You're my boy.

[Rob Gronkowski]

You'll be my wingman for life.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're my bud. You're my bud.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Here. You're my wingman next year.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you, brother. That's Rob Gronkowski, everybody. My man. Oh, come on back. You want to grown spikers? Oh, yes. My thanks to Kendall Jenner, Rob Gronkowski and the Roots right there from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thank you for watching this. Good night, everybody. Thank you.
