Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel pulled a little April Fools Day switch on their audiences.
April Fools' Day is a cursed holiday, but sometimes we get one good joke out of it. Like, say, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel switching hosting gigs? If you're like me, you may have suddenly seen Kimmel doing a bit with Hugh Jackman on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and gotten confused, especially seeing as how Kimmel is on the west coast and Jackman is currently starring in The Music Man on Broadway.
Fallon typically has games that he plays with celebrities and Kimmel took it on with ease as he played "Box of Lies" with Jackman. Meanwhile, on the west coast, Fallon's banter with Guillermo Rodriguez reminded us just how funny Fallon can be. The gag also featured a prerecorded bit of them tricking fans into believing that they would get a chance to meet Kimmel, only for the hosts to switch places at the last second, prompting a series of reactions from unsuspecting visitors.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The two swapped coasts and seemed to have fun working on the format of the other's show. More importantly, they showed us all that it's possible to pull an April Fools' prank that doesn't make us completely hate the 'holiday.'While we do have a "white man in late-night television" problem, at least it seems like both Kimmel and Fallon are in on it and know that they do, to some, seem very similar.
Some April Fools' jokes should maybe fizzle out and never come back, but ones like this are harmless and kind of fun. Especially since it took me writing this to realize I didn't dream Kimmel and Jackman playing "Box of Lies."What's New on HBO Max in April 2022 Read Next Share Share Tweet Share Email Related Topics About The Author Rachel Leishman Rachel Leishman is a writer who specializes in yelling about her favorite properties.
