  • -Adam Sandler, thank you so much

  • for doing "Tonight Show: At Home Edition."

  • I appreciate it, buddy.

  • -Jimmy -- Jimmy, you look handsome.

  • What is that, Earth behind you?

  • -[ Laughs ] I'm in the birch room.

  • -That is so cool, buddy. I love it.

  • -Yeah. Birch wallpaper.

  • -You look good. You look good.

  • -Yeah? -Oh. You shower today or no?

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • You did -- You didn't, did you!

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • Jimmy, boy!

  • I got a shower for you, man.

  • I took my Jimmy shower. -[ Laughs ]

  • -Yeah, a shower's now like wearing a hat.

  • It's the same type of thing. -[ Laughs ]

  • -How are you doing, buddy? Where are you at?

  • -Uh, I'm in L.A. I'm with the wife, Jackie,

  • my two children, and we've been in the same joint

  • for a long time, just like you, and, uh -- and that's it.

  • We're hangin' out, trying to get past all this.

  • -Yeah, good man. I appreciate you doing this,

  • 'cause a lot of people love you, and you raise a lot of spirits.

  • So this means a lot to me and a lot of people,

  • so thank you for doing this. -Me too, me too.

  • I've been watching you, too, Jimmy, and the shows

  • have been great, and it does take your mind off

  • when you get to watch something that's happening right now.

  • Because, man, have I been watching repeats

  • of old basketball games. -[ Laughs ]

  • Man, last night, I watched a high school baseball game

  • from -- I don't know -- 1989 or something.

  • It's, like, "Wow, I can't believe this is what we do."

  • -Yeah. So, we made a joke once. It was like ESPN is showing

  • the best bounce passes of 2009. [ Both laugh ]

  • -That's funny, man. -Did I ever tell you --

  • Do you know the Wells story, the David Wells story,

  • when we went out with him at an "SNL" party?

  • -I kind of remember this. You and him?

  • -Yeah, me and Horatio and Lorne. -Right.

  • -We were at the after party, "SNL" after party,

  • with David Wells, a great pitcher for the Yankees,

  • and we're hanging out, we're having some drinks.

  • And we're going late. It's getting to be like --

  • And I'm telling you this because he tells the story, too.

  • So it's getting late. I'd say probably 5:00 --

  • 5:00, 5:30, Lorne leaves. I'm still there.

  • I think I leave around 5:45, almost 6:00 in the morning,

  • I leave the party, right? I go home, and I just crash.

  • I wake up the next day. It's got to be 1:00 or 1:30

  • the next day, and I turn on the TV,

  • and David Wells is pitching. -That's right! I know!

  • He's a mad man!

  • -It's crazy! So I go, "Maybe it's one of

  • these classic games."

  • You know, they show like Yankees classics.

  • -Right, right, right. -It's got to be that, man.

  • And it looks real, I do -- So I call up Horatio, I go,

  • "Dude, wake up, man." He's like, "What's up? What?"

  • I go, "Turn on channel 11." I go, "Wellsy's pitching."

  • He goes, "There's no way, dude. We were out till like 6:00."

  • He was still there. It was late. We left.

  • And so he's like -- Anyways, turns out

  • it's a real game... -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • ...and he throws a perfect game.

  • -That's -- That's a pretty famous game there, Jimmy.

  • That's an insane one.

  • Can you believe you're a part of that story?

  • That's -- -[ Laughs ]

  • It's the craziest thing in the world to see that thing.

  • I mean, there's so many stories from the "SNL" after parties

  • and stuff, you go, "Oh, that was a cool thing.

  • That was fun." -That's a 12, that story.

  • That -- That's -- Yeah, I mean, I guess

  • you're more relaxed and loose and not thinking as much

  • when you're tired or you can't --

  • You can't question yourself as much.

  • But that's incredible.

  • David Wells, he used to hang with my cast, too.

  • -Did he really? -Yeah, man.

  • We loved it. Loved it. -I love that dude.

  • He's such a great guy. -Yes.

  • -I've been doing this show from my house,

  • and I'm reading monologue jokes, and now and then,

  • the kids will be there listening,

  • and they don't laugh at anything.

  • -[ Laughs ] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • -Like, not even a charity laugh.

  • They like booing, and they go, "Pbht!"

  • and all that stuff. [ Both laugh ]

  • No, dude, it's crazy. I was gonna ask you,

  • do your daughters, do they get your comedy,

  • or do they watch your movies?

  • -Guaranteed, when this is on tonight,

  • we'll watch it together.

  • They will laugh at everything you say

  • and stare at everything I say. [ Both laugh ]

  • I think they just have it where they're nervous that,

  • for you or me, your own kids are kind of like,

  • "Oh, no. What's he gonna say that's awful?"

  • -[ Laughs ] -So they will relax so much.

  • Like, "Oh, Jimmy!" By the way, we've been

  • walking around with a Jimmy Fallon beach bag here.

  • -Do you really? -It's where I keep

  • my iPad chargers, in my Jimmy Fallon beach bag.

  • -Oh, I love that you use that. That's awesome, bud.

  • I was doing jokes the other night,

  • and I did an impression of you,

  • and I just want to show you this clip.

  • This is the first and only time they've ever laughed at me.

  • Watch. -Oh, I heard! Yes, yes.

  • -I think two weeks of isolation is starting to take its toll.

  • I guess I can explain it best through Adam Sandler.

  • On day one, I felt like, "Okay, kids,

  • let's, uh, get to some arts and crafts,

  • put the macaroni and the pipe cleaner, and that's nice."

  • And by today, it was like, "Stop hitting your sister!

  • Shut up!" [ Both laugh ]

  • [ Nonsense noises ]

  • [ Children laughing ]

  • [ Nonsense noises continue ]

  • [ Children laugh ]

  • Adam Sandler makes everyone laugh.

  • But I just did, like -- And they loved it.

  • They both were screaming laughing.

  • -That's so funny. Nancy texted Jackie that,

  • that the kids probably laughed at something Jimmy did

  • and it was an impression of my goofiness.

  • -Now, you've been very nice to me.

  • Throughout the years, you've been nice to me

  • doing your voice.

  • Do you remember the first time that I called you

  • and said I had an impression of you?

  • -No, no. Do you? -I do, yeah.

  • I remember all our moments. -Yeah, you tell me.

  • I mean, I'm much older than you, so I forget things now.

  • -[ Laughs ] -What happened?

  • -I was on "SNL." -Oh, yeah!

  • -You said were you doing "Jeopardy!", right?

  • -Yeah, that's right. Herlihy called.

  • -Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right!

  • "We're doing you, and blah blah blah.

  • Is that okay?" Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • I remember. Then what happened?

  • What did I say to you? -Yeah. No, you go,

  • "All right, all right, do the impression for me."

  • So I was like, "Oh, my gosh."

  • And it was Higgins was there and Herlihy.

  • We were you in Higgins' office, and I just did the goofy,

  • "Yabba da ya," and you go, "All right, that's good.

  • Good luck, kid. That's good."

  • -Really? That's good. -You were great to me.

  • You were so nice to me. -Oh, my God.

  • You know, I do remember back then,

  • that's like 20 years ago or something, right?

  • -Yeah. -I do remember always

  • getting calls from anybody who said,

  • mentioned your name from my friends in my hometown

  • going, "Hey, did you see they were making fun of you?

  • Blah blah blah." I would be like, "Really?"

  • But as I got older, I was like,

  • "What the hell is the difference, man?

  • It's fun. It's -- It's -- Who cares?

  • I remember on "SNL," I did a few people

  • that I think they were pissed at me after,

  • and I didn't understand 'cause I was so young.

  • And I don't remember which actors and stuff,

  • but you -- a skit is written.

  • All of a sudden, you're supposed to do an impression of somebody.

  • And then, I went to, like, a Knicks game or something,

  • and somebody I did was there, and they were like --

  • -Always the Garden where I run into people,

  • and they go, "Hey. What's up?" -Yeah, they ice you, right?

  • I know. -It's like, "Yeah, but, dude,

  • I'm 23, I'm trying to make it, I'm doing anything I can, man.

  • I'm just trying to make people laugh.

  • I love you. I have nothing against you."

  • -I know, I know, I know.

  • But you get their side, too.

  • They're just like, "What are you doing to me, man?"

  • -I love the special. I told you it was so good,

  • on Netflix. And I know you were on tour,

  • so you had to cancel a bunch of dates.

  • -Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm so happy we cancelled that.

  • That was at the beginning of all this,

  • when people were questioning, "What should we do?"

  • And I was like a week away from it,

  • and I was saying to everybody,

  • "I don't think it makes sense."

  • -Yeah. You got to stay in and stay home.

-Adam Sandler, thank you so much
