Bridget Everett was the latest guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and she certainly made a memorable appearance. The lively and hilarious singer and comedian had the audience in stitches with her anecdotes and charm.
First, Fallon complimented Everett on her stunning appearance, to which she responded with her signature humor, joking about her fear of her dress flying off. The two quickly got into the conversation, with Fallon noting that so much has happened for Everett since her last appearance on the show.
Fallon couldn’t help but mention Everett’s recent nomination for a Critics Choice Award, congratulating her on the achievement. The conversation took a turn towards fashion, as Fallon displayed a picture of Everett on the red carpet, looking fabulous in what she called “Chevron Chic.”
Another photo that grabbed attention was one of Everett and Jennifer Aniston together. Everett amusingly described being in the line for “not-very-famous people” at the event and jokingly reenacted the moment for the audience. She held her “Bur-Kin” bag, a humorous and affordable version of the infamous Birkin bag, which she uses to combat social anxiety at events.
Everett revealed her life motto, “DDHD,” which stands for “dreams don’t have deadlines.” She explained that LL Cool J coined the phrase during an episode of “Life Class,” and it resonated with her deeply. She even wore a necklace with the initials and teased the idea of getting it tattooed on her leg.
Despite never meeting LL Cool J, she expressed her admiration for him and shared her memory of seeing him when she was working as a waitress. Fallon then surprised Everett by playing a video message from LL Cool J, congratulating her on her accomplishments and reaffirming the message that dreams don’t have deadlines. Everett was ecstatic and joked about how LL Cool J‘s message had left her desk “moist.”
The conversation turned to Everett’s recent Peabody Award win for her show “Somebody Somewhere.” She expressed pride in being recognized alongside esteemed journalists and documentary filmmakers, emphasizing that her show focused on the quiet moments in people’s lives. Everett humorously declared that she would introduce herself as “Peabody Award winner Bridget Everett” for the rest of her life.
Before wrapping up, Fallon showed a throwback photo of young Everett and marveled at how far she had come. Everett expressed gratitude for her journey and all the amazing opportunities that have come her way.
The final segment of the interview focused on the upcoming final season of “Somebody Somewhere,” set in Manhattan, Kansas. Everett described the show as a slice-of-life series about not giving up on oneself and finding one’s people. The theme for this season is “GAAO: Growth Against All Odds,” capturing the tender and humorous moments of real life.
Closing the interview, Fallon congratulated Everett on her achievements and treated the audience to a sneak peek of the show’s new season with an entertaining clip.
