This really happened. Jimmy Fallon had Benedict Cumberbatch on the show for a Mad Libs game. Cumberbatch chose various nouns, verbs, and adjectives to fill in the blanks as Fallon writes them down. Then, like at a kids’ sleepover game, they act out the scene.
If you are a big Cumberbatch fan, it might be difficult to sit through the act. The awkward skit drags on. At last, the iconic “Doctor Strange” actor breaks into a verse of “Baa Baa Black Sheep.” At this point, fortunately, it ends. Cumberbatch should just stick to serious acting stuff if we’re going to be perfectly honest.
Shaquille O’Neal
Jimmy Fallon puts on Shaq’s suit coat in this interview. The host looks as if his head shrunk, swimming in the jacket that goes past his knees. Meanwhile, Shaq attempts to wear Fallon’s coat, and he can’t even get his arm into the sleeve.
It turns out the former Laker star is promoting a new suit line at Macy’s. When Fallon asks if he has ever rejected a promotional gig, Shaq says he turned away a fragrance line called DNA cologne because they wanted samples of his bodily fluids to make it. This interview was just good old-fashioned comedic gold!
Kanye West
Anytime Kanye West makes an appearance; we buckle up. He never lets us down. Kanye joined Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" following a heated Twitter fight between the two. Kimmel asked trigger-friendly questions leading Kanye to say he enjoys it when people are mad at him.
Kimmel burst out laughing when the celeb asked if he could imagine him telling his publicist that he is going on TV again. But then the rapper-turned-entrepreneur dove deep, getting into why people are all actors on a stage called life and that the only way out is to “break the simulation.” Whoa, dude.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt received an unexpected gift when he visited Conan O’Brien to promote " Troy" (2004). O’Brien gave the A-lister his emerald-green 1992 Ford Taurus SHO. The manual transmission sedan had made many appearances on the late-night talk show as Conan’s first car from college.
In this interview, we got to see Pitt rev and rip out of a parking spot with a quick slip of the clutch. O’Brien warned him not to go over 35 mph because he said the bottom might drop out. He comments that Brad and Jennifer are going to be very happy in that car.
Will Ferrell
Not to be outdone, Will Ferrell advances Letterman’s creep factor one-up on Conan. Dressed in a full Ron Burgundy costume, Ferrell arrives on stage playing the flute. He says he is there to make a big announcement. His big news is that there will be a sequel to "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.” The audience was thrilled.
However, even Conan was grossed out by Ferrell’s own clarification of what he meant by a crude innuendo. It can’t be printed here, but if you want to witness the cringeworthy moment, watch the segment! We're sure you can find it somewhere on YouTube!
