Fallon was also almost a priest so maybe reading things wrong and making bad calls is just his default.
A guest on Howard Stern's Sirius show this week, Jimmy Fallon told his side of the story about the time Nicole Kidman came to his apartment back in the day because she was trying to get stuck into him and how he completely didn't get that that was what was going on.
"It was the worst. That was hilarious. I was on SNL, single and living the bachelor life," he told Stern.
"My friend Rick called me and said ‘I’m with Nicole Kidman, she wants to come to your apartment and talk about a project’."
"She walks in, and I’m nervous. She’s gorgeous. By far, the most beautiful person who’s ever walked into my apartment. But I’m trying to be professional — to be someone you’d want to be in a movie with for three months. Plus, I wouldn’t even consider that I would have a chance with Nicole Kidman."
The rest, as we know, is history.
As for the potential priesthood, it's all because his mother was once a nun and that he loved the altar so much because it was the closest thing to a stage he'd ever experienced at that age.
It actually explains a lot when you think about it.
