In a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made a memorable appearance. The duo challenged Jimmy Fallon to a hilarious joke-off and took a trip down memory lane to reminisce about their iconic SNL sketch, “Mom Jeans”.
The segment started with Jimmy sharing the news of President Trump signing an executive order banning paper straws in the government and bringing back plastic straws. However, the order quickly disintegrated right after he signed it, causing chaos in the studio. Much to everyone’s surprise, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler appeared on stage, eliciting cheers and applause from the audience.
They playfully mocked Jimmy’s joke about the paper straws and challenged him to a “Tonight Show Joke-Off”. The rules were simple: Tina and Amy would buzz in when they had a joke in response to Jimmy’s setup. The trio had a blast exchanging witty punchlines, showcasing their razor-sharp comedy skills.
One of the standout moments was when they joked about Trump’s plan to make America “suck again” with the plastic straws. They also poked fun at the government’s plan to destroy all existing paper straws by using them only once and then making them disappear. The audience erupted in laughter, and it was clear that Tina, Amy, and Jimmy were having a blast on stage.
The fun continued with jokes about Domino’s launching a pepperoni-inspired perfume for Valentine’s Day, Kendrick Lamar’s music streaming numbers skyrocketing after his Super Bowl halftime show, and the rising prices of chocolate on Valentine’s Day. Each punchline landed perfectly, showcasing the comedic chemistry and timing between the three performers.
As the segment came to an end, Tina and Amy were declared the winners of the Joke-Off. However, the laughter didn’t stop there. They engaged in witty banter and discussed their upcoming comedy tour, aptly named the “Restless Leg Tour”. The tour promises to be a hilarious and entertaining experience for fans.
Amidst the jokes and laughter, Tina and Amy also revealed exciting news. They both have podcasts coming up, with Amy launching a podcast called “Good Hang with Amy Poehler“. This podcast aims to provide a fun and enjoyable listening experience, filled with laughter and good vibes.
The segment concluded with Jimmy and Tina reminiscing about their time on Saturday Night Live. They shared stories about late-night writing sessions, sleepless nights, and the incredible influence the show had on their careers. It was evident that their bond and friendship were still as strong as ever.
