  • -Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition

  • of "The Tonight Show" At-Home Edition.

  • Today is Tuesday.

  • And, um, we're just kind of in this now.

  • 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 ]
