Jake Gyllenhaal paused his play to help an audience member because he’s literally the best

TwitterFacebook

If for some ridiculous reason you needed further proof that Jake Gyllenhaal is pretty much a perfect human being, then look no further.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Gyllenhaal spoke to Fallon about Sea Wall/A Life — the play he’s currently starring in at The Public Theater in New York. And from the sounds of it, even being immersed in a lengthy monologue doesn’t deter him from helping a stranger.

“The other day a woman was coughing, like really, really loudly,” Gyllenhaal says in the clip above. “And I felt so bad for her.”

Rather than ignoring it, Gyllenhaal broke from his monologue to ask the woman if she was okay. And even though she said she was, he went one better. Read more…

Christoph Waltz quizzes Jimmy Fallon on long German words and it’s wonderfully informative

TwitterFacebook

Even though English and German are both Germanic languages, the two really don’t seem all that similar – at least from a layman’s perspective. 

One such layman, Jimmy Fallon, just had his knowledge of the German language put to the test by a very unimpressed native speaker, Christoph Waltz. 

On The Tonight Show, the German-Austrian actor quizzed Fallon on the meaning of some very long German words, including sitzpinkler, waldeinsamkeit, and bezirksschornsteinfegermeister.  Read more…

John Oliver screaming Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U Been Gone’ is all of us

Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” is too high-pitched for mere mortals like ourselves, Shaq, John Oliver, Rachel Brosnahan, Anthony Anderson, and even Mumford and Sons.

Jimmy Fallon wanders around blindfolded to parody ‘Bird Box’

Margot Robbie plays drinking game, attempts to dodge awkward questions

TwitterFacebook

This game was clearly set up with the hope of getting some amusingly awkward info from Margot Robbie — but somehow, all the awkwardness ends up coming from Jimmy Fallon’s side of the table.

The game in the clip above is called “Loaded Questions”. It basically involves Robbie and Fallon taking turns answering questions only they can see. They then choose to either do the shot in front of them, or reveal what the question was.

Robbie gets off lightly, but it’s worth sticking around for Fallon’s gloriously stumbling story about Michael Jordan. And his even more gloriously stumbling story about Kate Hudson. Read more…
