So I hope everyone is getting in a routine and kind of getting their life kind of to a schedule, a rhythm. Yesterday it was just rainy here, so any little ray of sun, I'm going to take it and just sit in the backyard and do a television show, just like everyone should do. I just want to be here for you guys, 'cause you've always been there for me. So I appreciate it, guys. We have a fun show tonight. He has a movie called "The Quarry." It's out on demand on Friday. Michael Shannon is here. The very fun, the very odd Michael Shannon. He's great tonight. Oh, my gosh. Also, my friend J.J. Watt is on the show, as well, and I'm going to play "Know Your Bro" with his brothers -- some family trivia about his brothers, who are all playing in the NFL. Pretty good family. Huh? That's pretty awesome. And then to close it out, one of my super favorites. Remember she almost hopped our fence once? Rita Ora is on the show tonight. -[ Laughs ] So cool. -Yeah. So I'll be talking -- Well, I won't be talking to Rita. She'll be performing a new song off her upcoming album. I should say Michael Shannon's charity is earthday.org. This says -- Feeding America is J.J. Watt. And covid19responsefund.org is Rita Ora. Uh, let's try to make you laugh, and let's have a good show. It's time for the monologue! ♪♪ All right. Welcome to "The Tonight Show." I'm Jimmy Fallon. Well, guys, earlier today, former President Obama endorsed Joe Biden for president. Obama said he knew Biden was the right candidate once he was absolutely sure Michelle wasn't running. You can tell the endorsement meant a lot to Biden. Right after, he was like, "I know you guys really love me because I only had to ask every day for two years." I like how Obama endorsed Biden now. That's like waiting until there's one second left in the Super Bowl and then saying, "Okay, I'm rooting for the Chiefs. Okay? Just for the record." This isn't good -- Healthy Choice recalled over 130,000 pounds of frozen chicken meals after customers found small rocks mixed in. Americans were like, "We make one healthy choice in five weeks, and this is what happens? We're eating rocks?" Let me tell you guys something. With this toilet-paper shortage, this is not a good time to have rocks in your system. People who ate Healthy Choice meals filled with rocks knew something was up when their toilet looked like a fish tank. [ Chuckles ] Burger King just introduced a new sandwich called the Roasted Garlic King, which is a burger with a thick garlic sauce. Yeah. Burger King said, "If this doesn't keep people six feet away, nothing will." During quarantine, many Americans are watching old hit TV series like "The Wire" and "Breaking Bad." Mostly to finally shut up that annoying friend who's always like, "You've never seen 'The Wire'? Aw, bro. You never seen 'The Wire'? Aww. Bro. 'The Wire'?! You never seen it? Not the third episode? Or the second one? Or the first one? 'The wire'?" I read that many brides-to-be are now having virtual bachelorette parties. It starts with some lemon-drop shots and ends with virtually everyone crying in the bathroom. That's right -- brides-to-be are having virtual bachelorette parties. It's a lot of fun right up until your friend Debbie says something vaguely racist to the virtual limo driver. And finally, here's an update on a story we've been following since it broke. A 93-year-old Pennsylvania woman who went viral with her sign that said "I need more beer" received 150 beers from Coors Light. After getting the Coors Light, the woman held up a new sign that said, "I said I need beer, not water." [ Laughs ] It was a nice moment until an hour later when she held up a sign that said "out of beer again." Hey, you got a problem there, pal. That's our monologue right there. Guys, we had a lot of fun with #AskTheFallons where you guys are sending questions that you'd like me to ask my wife or my kids. And so tonight I'm going to ask a question from you guys to my wife, who's very -- who's also operating my camera and, really, producing this -- my whole show. I love you. And she also turns the tables and asks me a question in this part of "Ask the Fallons." Enjoy. ♪♪ Here we go. This is "Ask the Fallons." #AskTheFallons. I said it like I'm angry. -[ Laughs ] I think you might be. -I'm not angry. -Guess whose turn it is to be interviewed. -No. All right. This one is from @jusouzdiaz. "Jimmy, how did you propose to Nancy?" Well, we told this story, I believe. Well, we definitely have. But I had the ring ready to go. Weirdly, I had the ring from Neil Lane. Oh, sorry. You're not even on the camera. -[ Laughs ] -Neil Lane, who's now "Bachelor" famous. I got the ring. I remember I called your dad for permission. I asked him. He said, "Yes." -Sweet. -And I asked your brother, as well. -Aww! Jim. -Yeah. Or told him maybe. Informed him that I talked to your dad. Why would I ask your brother? -I don't know. Sweet, though. -Yeah, I might have. But your brother was cool with it, too. And then what happened was you messed everything up for me. -Yes. -You get to the door, and you go, "I have a surprise for you." And I go, "I hope it doesn't mess up my surprise," which was the big thing. I got the ring, I got the -- So, you go, "I got us reservations at Per Se," this amazing restaurant in New York. And I go, "Oh, my gosh." I was dying to go to Per Se. And I go, "Oh, my gosh. This is a big deal. I really do have to go to Per Se." But I didn't want to get engaged at the restaurant. I never wanted -- I was going to get engaged in, like, Gramercy Park or something that will just always be around, something classic. I don't want to go to a restaurant 'cause what if in 30 years the restaurant changes hands? Now it's a laser-tag place. Now it's like, "Kids, this is where your mom and I got engaged, at the Laser Tag House," if they do have laser tag in the future. Anyway, so, I go, "I'll do it after dinner." I didn't mention it to you. So, we went to dinner. It was an amazing dinner. Right? -Yeah. -Cut to -- -It was a long, long dinner. -Cut to -- I'm not kidding -- 14 courses later. -It was wild. -And then we got home, and your brother texted or called and said, like, "Did you do it, man? What's up?" I go, "No, man, our dinner was like four hours or something." He goes, "You got to do it. Just go to Molly's or something. And do it." -God. Yes. Which -- We love Molly's. -Yeah. And so I was like, "Oh, all right. Maybe I'll go to Molly's." Hold on. I was in the bathroom. I go, "Honey, you want to go out and have one more drink?" And you go, "Are you -- Really? are you serious? I will." You're like, "I'm ready to, like, watch TV and, like, go to bed." -Yeah. -So, that's what we did. And then it wasn't for, like -- It was probably three months later, six months later? -It was I think longer than your parents and my parents wanted. But, of course, yeah, I wasn't thinking it was -- I don't know. -It was probably -- Yeah. It was probably -- Yeah, no, you didn't know. -I just knew we were going to be together. It wasn't like we got to get married or not get married. -Anyways, like, I want to say four months later I was just trying to find the right place to do it. I know, I know, I know. But I'm very, like, particular. I got to make sure it's the right spot. -This is going to feed into my question. -Ooh. -[ Laughs ] -So, we get to -- Your family has a summer home in New Hampshire. In Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, which we love. Lake Winnipesaukee. And I go to the dock with you. Sunset. -Mm-hmm. -I go, "Honey, do you want to have a cocktail and maybe sunset?" So, we get out. I played Harry Nelson. -Mm-hmm. -And I said, okay, in my head, "Don't cry. Let her cry first if someone will cry." -[ Laughs ] -Because -- Well, because I hyped it up in my head. I get very emotional. I'm Irish. Very emotional person. -I love it. -So, as soon as I even remotely pulled the ring out of my pocket... [ Laughs ] ...I started crying. -Yes. -And I get down on one knee. And I'm, like, shaking. I'm like, "Wah, wah, wah." My voice is, like, quivering. Looks like I'm having a heart attack. And Nancy's like, "Are you okay, dude? Are you going to be all right?" And then I just said, "Hey, will you marry me?" And you said, "Yes." -And then the whole family started cheering from inside the house. -Oh, they were all watching us. -Yeah, and somewhere my brother has this on tape. But he said he wouldn't give it to us for like 20 years. -Oh, for real? -So we're 15 into that. We're going to get it in, like, a few -- Yeah, like, five or seven years now. -Wow. I didn't know he taped it. -Yeah. -All right. Let's switch positions. And then you ask a question. -Okay. Here we go. -Okay. All right. Here we go. Now, this is -- You're going to ask me a question? -Well, I was going to do interview questions. So, I just came up with a few. But my first one was going to be this easy one. -Mm-hmm. -And it's easy for a Virgo, especially. I was going to ask you what only three of your greatest pet peeves are. Only three. -[ Laughs ] -That's more the challenge than answering this question. -I don't even know if I have a pet peeve. -Oh, really? [ Both laugh ] -What? -Oh, my gosh. -Well, I don't like soft cheese. -Nope. Mnh-mnh. -So, if someone -- -And almost anyone even eating soft cheese is sort of repellent to you slightly. -No, no, no. I'm totally fine with everyone doing what they want, glopping the stuff on the thing and glopping it in their mouth. -"Glopping and glopping." Yeah. That's just no judgment, though, at all. [ Laughs ] Okay. Next. -All right. That's one. That's not bad. That's kind of understandable. -Uh-huh. -I think. -All right. -I can't think of any other pet peeves right now. -You have so many, but I will just let that one ride. So, who has been someone incredibly influential in your life? -So many people. I don't know. Lee. Lorne. -Mm-hmm. -I like those guys. I don't know. I call them. I mean, Lorne Michaels has kind of seen -- He's seen it all. But he's seen me through the beginning of my career through now. -You've worked with him since you were -- -23 is when I got "Saturday Night Live." I'm 45 now. So it's 22 years of working together. -Lorne Michaels. -He's got great advice about everything. -He has great anecdotal advice, too. -Yeah. And he's -- But even, like, anything. If I'm renting a car, I would call Lorne and say, "Hey, I don't know what to do. I'm renting a car." He's like, "Oh, you want something quiet and not too flashy. Get a Lexus." -"Get black." -"Black." Yeah. But then -- And then he gets it -- he's getting a new car, and he goes, "Which one do you think I should get? The silver? Or the bl--" I go, "Really, James Bond? You want to drive around in a silver car so everyone knows where you are?" -He is kind of James Bond-y. -He's like, "I know. I know." It's his own advice. -Yeah. -But there's been so many people. -Yeah. -He's -- Lorne's been great. My grandparents were really great to me. My grandma and my grandpa. That was like -- I used to go over there after school every single day, and I just really hung out with them. They really helped raise me. -And by "over there," you mean? -They lived in my backyard. -Mm-hmm. [ Laughs ] A cute little house behind your cute little house up in Saugerties. -In Saugerties, New York. They lived in our -- Yeah. -Mm-hmm. -It wasn't even, like, a different address. -No, no. -Was it weird? -No, I love it. -My grandparents lived in our backyard. In a house. A cottage. -Yeah. -So they used to babysit me, and I used to hang out with them after school and stuff. -Yep. You used to cook with your grandma. -I used to cook with my grandma all the time and hang out, read cookbooks. -Go driving with your grandpa. -I would go driving with them. And they would -- you know, they would drink and drive. -Oh, well, those were probably the days. -Different times. -Different times. -They never told me. But they would have, like, a Thermos. And then I remember once -- -You thought it was -- You tried to try it. -Yeah. I tried to try it. I go... -It's a dead giveaway. Parents. -Yeah, I go, "Let me have a sip of it." They go, "No, no, no. It's just orange juice." -"You won't like it." -"Why are you guys drinking orange juice? It's the afternoon. It's like 4:00 in the afternoon." They're like, "Ah, we're just going for a drive, right?" Just -- [ Laughs ] They wouldn't give me a sip. I was like, ah. You guys take a little nip of a screwdriver... -Yep. -...with your grandkid in the car. Probably no seatbelts. -Teaching you how to drive. -[ Laughs ] All right. That's enough for asking me questions. Now back to the show that everyone wants to watch. [ Laughter ]
