Jimmy Fallon, the host of The Tonight Show, has a unique way of making celebrities feel at ease. Since taking over the show in 2014, he has brought a fresh and fun atmosphere to late-night television. His segments, like lip-sync battles and movie spoofs, have become fan favorites. Interestingly, many celebrities have opened up to Fallon about their not-so-great movies during their appearances.
Fallon's ability to make guests comfortable is evident in the candid conversations that take place on his show. Celebrities often share their honest opinions about their own films, sometimes admitting that they are not proud of certain projects. This openness is a testament to the trust they have in Fallon and his ability to handle such confessions with humor and respect.
One of the most memorable aspects of Fallon's show is his movie spoof segments. He often involves his guests in these spoofs, creating hilarious and memorable moments. For example, he and Jamie Lee Curtis recreated her iconic aerobics scene from "Perfect, " and Michael Keaton reenacted scenes from "Birdman" as rewritten by kids. These segments not only entertain the audience but also showcase Fallon's creativity and comedic timing.
It's not uncommon for celebrities to dislike their own movies. Halle Berry, for instance, has publicly criticized her performance in "Catwoman, " even joking about it during her Razzies speech. Viola Davis has also expressed regret about her role in "The Help. " More recently, Dakota Johnson admitted that she wouldn't watch "Madame Web, " acknowledging that it was critically panned.
Fallon's optimistic and humorous approach to his show allows him to find the fun in even the most critically acclaimed or panned movies. His ability to turn these confessions into entertaining segments is a big part of what makes his show so popular. Whether a celebrity likes their film or not, fans enjoy both the movies and the spoofs on The Tonight Show.
