While Jimmy is doing a Jack Nicholson impression, Jerry is doing a Jimmy Fallon impression.

I love how Jerry loves storytelling structure so much, that he dissects and analyze the anecdotes that makes him laugh, in a constant search for that specific thing that makes something funny.

Oh Jimmy, why can't we see you just be this guy on your show. Kinda cool here 😎

I can hear Jack asking, "Didja get the prize yet?" Absolutely classic. I agree with the others here who wish we could see THIS Fallon on TTS.

Clicked on this because I knew it would be the highly rare, natural and at ease Fallon.

The fact that he said a "tin whistle" made me laugh the hardest.

Jimmy's eyes when he said "Did you get the prize yet?" instantly transports him to Nicholson's soul.

A rare video of Jimmy Fallon actually being funny.

About the Cracker Jack prize, that is so fucking true. Jerry: "it's all crumbling"

That was a damn good Nicholson impression, let's be honest.

I love Jimmy Fallon when he gets to be himself, like when he talks with people he knows and doesn't feel the need to put on a show. (And also during the pandemic when there was no audience and he interacted more with The Roots / when he was at home.) Also, he's a good story teller! The Prince ping pong story is probably my favourite Tonight Show moment.

Jerry takes a funny joke... and makes it funnier -- by explaining it! which technically, should be impossible. he's so damn good.

"It's all crumbling." THAT is the subtext of Jerry's humor as well as the humor of Larry David and the TV show Seinfeld. Comedy IS pain. We laugh so we don't go crazy. But the best humor has pain at the root of it.

"It's all crumbling." So many times Jerry will add to something funny and make it even funnier. I love that.

This interview confirms my suspicions that Jack Nicholson isn't really acting in his movies, he is simply playing himself & what you see is what you get.

My god I love this story. Brilliant! I've seen him tell it without the fact that Jack just looks out at the game whilst saying the line and its not the same! Fantastic.

This is so basic, straightforward, and absolutely hilarious! 😂

Great "Jack" story. Did the voice well. Seinfeld has good insight, he saw the melancholy. And, he's right, it's all crumbling.

even the most accomplished of grown adults revel in the days of childhood. That goes to show how precious those moments are

Never been a Fallon fan but that was funny. Great impression.

A rare sighting of Jimmy actually being funny

Never acquired a taste for JF, at least on Tonight, but this made me laugh. I had to watch it 3 times and it was still as funny as the first.

Do we have a moment of genuine laughter from Jimmy for the first time ever?

this is by far the funniest story/joke I've ever heard coming from Fallons's mouth_and probably the last.

I love this show. I hope Jerry brings it back.

I love how EVERY celebrity has a Jack Nicholson story Jimmy Fallon at the World series (Jack: "Now you get a picture of a fucking snake") Jim Brewer in an SNL elevator (Jack: "You LOOK how I FEEL") Elijah Wood at an Award's show (Jack: "I love LotR... but what HAPPENED?") Jennifer Lawrence at an Award's show (Jack: "You remind me of an old girlfriend" Jennifer: "Do I remind you of a NEW girlfriend?") Robin Williams at an Award's show (Jack: "You know, Robbo, I now have an award for every decade")

I watched this three times on CiCGC, and now I repeat the story to others. Love it!

Jimmy Fallon does great impressions. Thats how he made his mark.

i don't think i've ever laughed at anything Jimmy Fallon has said, but i ERUPTED into hysterics when he mentioned that Jack asked him about the prize. The absolute absurdity of a multi-generational A-List Hollywood Alumus millionaire sparing a thought for a prize in a box beggars belief. added to this, voicing this with his iconic accent was just insane.

Omg! I die laughing every single time Fallon does Jack's voice! Even when I know it's coming, I still have the tendency to laugh!

“That’s the Melancholy “ 😂❤

Finally a Seinfeld comment makes the story better. "It's all crumbling." Genius.

I think about this moment so often. I love this story so much. Thank you for uploading! "Did you get the prize?"

I loved that episode i bet when Jimmy looked into those glasses while he said that just cracked him up. It’s still funny just imagining him saying that while looking off into the distance.

Guessing this was filmed early in the morning, before Jimmy's daily coke and whiskey binge.

one of the best stories on so many levels

Every Jack Nicholson experience is a book-worthy story. And Jimmy's JN impression is pretty freaking good.

Jack is going to be dearly missed when he goes. Such a legend.

This was really funny thank you for this - sometimes the algorithm is a good thing!

in any situation, jerry ALWAYS sees thru to the heart of the humor

Jimmy: "So like--" Jerry: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is one of my favourite parts of the whole series

This is the only time Fallon has made me crack a smile in all the years I’ve seen him on tv. Congrats

"Hold the snake between your knees, Jimmy."

The funniest part of this episode is when they left John’s Pancake House in Montauk NY the car was dead and they had to get a couple of Joe’s off the street to give them a jump start!

I love Jerry's impression of Jimmy fallon

I can watch this every day

CICGC brings me so much joy. I don’t know why but it just does!!!!!!

If you read the very great book by Ned Wynn, son of Keenan, and grandson of Ed, you might remember him talking about skiing with Jack. Jack did only one thing. Straight down. No turns, no jive. Just straight down. This book is right there at all the junctures of the 50's. 60's and 70's. Name a thing, Ned was at the birth of it. A funny droll great read. Maybe eBay. Title? We Will Always Live In Beverly Hills.

Seinfeld is so good at deconstructing WHY something is funny! "the melancholy"

And LARRY Chuckles!! "Man that funny story is a total GEM!!"😎 ✌

Michael Keaton tells one equally funny about when he and Nicholson were in London for months filming Batman. Nicholson was unable to get access to any Laker games while over there and was disgruntled by it. One morning on set while Keaton was sitting in the makeup chair, Nicholson came in and took the chair next to Keaton, laid back in the chair and sighed: "That was a hell of a dart competition last night, huh?"

Watching Jerry laugh at the story is the funniest part.

One of the funniest stories ever!

this makes me smile every time! :)

I love this SO much

That was way more hilarious than it should have been.

Great comedic craftsmen are like that, they have to know not just that something *is* funny, but exactly *why* it is funny

Jack is my favorite actor

That is a hilarious story. I still think Jim Brewer’s story of his encounter with Jack in an elevator is Epic….

Beautiful skit. And the miniature of the moment is solid Seinfeld.

This never gets old...

It’s absolutely funny!!💯.

A senior citizen asking a grown man if he got the prize is the best part for me. Crackerjacks are timeless.

I like how Jerry dissects the exchange and examines exactly why it's funny.

I love Them....Both 💜

The two best fake laughers in the business.

This is the only Jimmy Fallon I love.

Brilliant!

2 successful men. One we all understand and appreciate. The others success is baffling.

You can see Jack doing it... with that slight bored grinn... What an actor...

Truly beautiful 💯

I love this show ❤️

I seem this 3 times. It's still funny as I'll get out and yes it is crumbling my god

so great

let's all note and praise that Fallon here is neither clapping his hands, nor cracking up uncontrollably because of some mildly amusing thing. Historic

Jerry laughing from the beginning even during the unfunny set up kinda like how Jimmy does the same on the tonight show.

I never thought I would see somebody out-fake-laugh Jimmy Fallon. But here we are.

So fantastic. 💜

LOL this is a good laugh

i’m actually surprised jerry, of all people, feels the need to do the “fake-laughing at every word the guest says” thing on this show. he always seemed like someone who kept it real

I have a great Jack Nicholson story… One time i was having dinner with Jack and he said “could you pass the salt”

I love this ❤

All I learned is that Jack Nicholson can set up his own joke without a "professional comedian" playing the straight role.

This is hilarious 😆

Anytime anyone mentions Jack Nicholson in a story, laughter (the good kind) ensues.

I was just at the dollar store, saw a box of Cracker Jack and HAD to come and look for this. 😂

Jimmy Fallon the storyteller is the best

Jerry is there to beat the life out of every joke. "Find something funny? Well you won't after I needlessly talk about it."

Very funny. Jack just being genuine and sarcastically saying, "Did ya' get the prize yet"? Then. He says," we used to get medal things like tin whistles". (I can imagine Jack saying that in a tone voice as if the world is going to heck in a handbasket.) "Now all ya' get is a picture of a snake". With SO MUCH GOOD & SO MUCH BAD IN THE WORLD, it's great to be striving for more good and with humor, feel serenity by looking at stand-ups doing bits. Like " Jack" bits. For example, someone doing a "spot-on" impersonation of Jack saying things like, "Someone put a marshmellow in my Dr. Pepper. What else is wrong with my order? Oh, surprise. Extra crunchy curly fries. Mo must be workin' today". That was funny. "We used to get TIN WHISTLES". Then he looks off into the distance as if the world has gone awry. Anyone hanging out with Jack and repeating things he has said COULD BE VERY FUNNY. (In the movie, One who flew over the cuckoos nest, there was a line where Jack said, "come on boys. we're goin' fishing".(because he was so annoyed with the head nurse in the psych ward.) Only Jack can say that in the right circumstance and with his disposition and demeanor and it be HILARIOUS.

Jack Nicholson could be a hell of a neighbor!

these guys make millions off of stuff people with a sense of humor do every day..including me...

I imagined Jack saying that from his role in Anger Management movie 🤣

Jack Nicholson. I love you.

Such a great story

I like Jimmy's subtle Jack impression. Some people overdo the voice.

Nicholson is so spot on though, I'm a 90's kid and the toys you use to get in things like cereal boxes and happy meals were amazing they were actual toys you were excited to get they even made 'collections' like characters from disney movies such as Hercules. I got my son a happy meal recently and the 'toy' was a palm-sized felt cut out of an animal from that show 'the masked singer' christ I could have wept for him.

Jerry’s reaction 🤣

"its all crumbling" ahhahahahaha

Jerry's reaction made the joke. It was funny, but his reaction was priceless
