Short jokingly confronted Fallon about a comment he made earlier, almost insinuating that Fallon was trying to poke fun at Short’s supposed drinking problem.

The mics were briefly turned off, leaving the audience wondering what was happening. When the mics came back on, the two comedians returned to their cheery personas, making jokes about their altercation and seamlessly continuing the interview.
Fallon congratulated Short on his upcoming hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” and asked if he was nervous.

This time, Short took a swing at Fallon, and chaos ensued with them using various props to mock-fight.
