Jimmy Fallon and Greg Gutfeld came together for a surprising collaboration where the television personalities reminisced on the first time they met.
On Fallon’s Tonight Show, the two hosts gathered in an intriguing combination as both lead talk shows on rival networks. During the show, Gutfeld recounted the amusing and awkward story of their first meeting.
As he joined the stage, Fox News’ Gutfeld gave Fallon a hug and said that it “brought back memories.”
“This is hilarious – we’ve met before,” Fallon said on air.
“Yes, you have no memory of it… Which is understandable, because we were wasted,” Gutfeld said.
He then claimed that the two had met over a decade ago at an “illegal speakeasy” in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, owned by a mutual friend.
“You’re not making this up. I totally know what you’re talking about,” Fallon quipped back.
“I think I remember bringing beer into the bar, and then him charging me for my own beer.”
The Fox News personality then said that as soon as Fallon saw him, he ran over.
“You run towards me, and you tackle me, like you’re a giant golden retriever,” he recounted as the crowd laughed.
“You’re like on top of me. And so we’re wrestling. We’re wrestling.”
“And then you switched gears and started wrestling with my buddy Andy. You were really going at it, and soon enough, both of you were on the floor, tangled up in a wrestling match.”
Gutfeld then said that as he took out a cigarette, Fallon took it from him and crumpled it to the ground, saying: “These things will kill you.”
“At that moment, I shouted, ‘Hey, I’m not wealthy. You are!’ Cigarettes are really pricey in New York City. When I said that, your expression shifted noticeably,” he recalled.
“And you looked sad, and then you left.”
Fallon was looking to make amends, however, as just minutes later, he turned up with a new pack.
Fox News hosts
Meet the hosts who appear on Fox News:
“I go, ‘That was really sweet. You want me to die,'” Gutfeld said as the audience laughed.
Fallon then confirmed the story, saying that all the details were true.
“It was all very good-natured, and it was a great memory,” Gutfeld said on the show.
“And I’m so glad I finally got to tell you!”
The remainder of the episode focused on Gutfeld discussing his Fox News program, “What Did I Miss?” and sharing anecdotes about being fired multiple times before finally landing at the network.
“Congrats on the series being picked up another season, that’s a big deal,” Fallon told Gutfeld as the show concluded.
