Best of Late Night TV: Jimmy Fallon Blew His Shot to Date Nicole Kidman, Allison Janney's Stewardess Dance (VIDEO)
If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
Nicole Kidman was on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon and it was the first time they'd seen each other since an awkward meeting a long time ago. The best part is that they have completely different recollections of what happened.
Jimmy was invited by a mutual friend to meet Nicole for a potential role, or so he thought. Nicole said she remembers liking him at the time. She had a crush on him and thought it was a potential lead-in to a date. Jimmy - modern-day last night Jimmy - responded with "What are you talking about?" He was so shocked at the idea that he could've dated her. This was complete news to him, since he just thought they were talking about a potential movie role. But he blew it. For the meeting - which was set up last minute by their friend - he had her over to his stunted man-child apartment and put a video game on and didn't even talk to her. It destroyed his shot. "It was bad," Nicole said, as Jimmy fell over in regret. She saw that there was no chemistry and figured he had no interest. She thought he might actually be gay.
Anyway, now both Nicole and Jimmy are married to other people and have kids. Just goes to show, guys, it's never a good idea to put in a video game and ignore a woman, even if you never would've imagined you had a shot. Cue "The One That Got Away"!
Matt LeBlanc was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Tuesday night, talking about his Christmas (he got an interesting gift), and how he fell asleep on New Year's Eve around 10:30 p.m. Did you know that Matt went to a tech school growing up and planned to be a carpenter, not an actor?Hayley Atwell of the new show "Agent Carter" was on JKL, and the British beauty (half British, half American, actually) said she's accidentally kicked a bunch of stunt guys in the balls. She said she's just clumsy. She played rugby at school, so she's not afraid of aggression. She told the story of going to a sweat lodge with her dad, and her dad apparently felt up Woody Allen. You should also see her do her ventriloquist routine at the end of the second video. Queen Jessica Lange was on "Late Night" with Seth Meyers and he brought up all of her award nominations. She said the award shows have become a bit of a freak show themselves. They're all about fashion, which doesn't interest her at all. She also said it's a mistake to give actors a platform to talk about themselves. She also tries to avoid certain speech cliches that she finds "incredibly pretentious." Agreed.Ethan Hawke was on "Late Show" with David Letterman (not a big fan of his suit) talking about "Boyhood," which was shot over 12 years. Dave joked that it's very popular in prisons. Allison Williams (amazing dress and hair, sorry to keep being shallow about these things) talked about flying in "Peter Pan." She and Dave got really technical about it, including the rescue plan in case she lost consciousness.
Anna Faris and Allison Janney - who are co-hosting the People's Choice Awards tonight (January 7) - were on "Conan," and you have to see Allison's disco stewardess dance. (She likes to do occupational dances.) Allison also joked that she's hot for Justin Bieber and would like him as a romantic interest on "Mom." But Justin is too short. Conan O'Brien is a good height for her.
