Kid Theater with Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck and Jimmy read scenes written by elementary school kids where we gave them the title "The Accountant," and they had to write the rest.

[@ROBOTBOYINITIATIVE]

A kid named Chris called his characters Steve and Roger... I think Cap is trolling Batman.

[@gumdropbullets]

I was thinking American Dad. Lol. Not a kid's show but they probably watch anyway.

[@grapejuicerry1982]

Side note: I NEED chris and ben to make a movie together. Boston bros

[@thesmileyfacedballoon9492]

This skit was better than BvS

[@shais1614]

"What's so great about 8?" "What's so great about 41?" "DO YOU WANNA FIGHT ME??"

[@BryonLetterman]

7 year old Chris might be a Captain America fan.

[@madsionsharp7792]

Bryon Letterman just what i was thinking of. Even funnier is that Chris is the first name of the actor

[@EddieVH77]

Steve and Roger... Steve Rogers?

[@blame_james2650]

Steve: "do you want to fight me?!" Yea, sounds about right...

[@ASkywalker91]

Not to mention 'Accountant's of AMERICA' in the dialogue, roflmaoo!

[@raymondtran1979]

lol, Chris Evans probably wrote that

[@Qwazin]

"No." -Ben Affleck

[@sunwardmean5167]

Greatest quote of all time. It brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it 😢

[@JenikamcC]

Steve and Roger. Steve-Rogers. Captain America's biggest fan definitely wrote that one.

[@BryonLetterman]

And the "kid" just happened to be named Chris.

[@OfficialDisneyFan421]

Bryon Letterman was his last name, I don't know perhaps...Evans!?!?

[@RockBandRS]

Exactly what I was thinking lol.

[@lowkeybuckley]

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT

everybody look better with facial hair, including babies and women

[@dalebrush5366]

Every man except Tom Hardy looks better with facial hair.

[@sugams2s]

all of us men look better with facial hair than without it

[@Janette388]

no some men look better with no beard

[@trinawize461]

Yes, the beard gives him a very distinguished look.

ben affleck looked like he really needed to hear someone say "i love you" to him.

[@Mykahl1]

I agree.. looking at him made me feel sad.. his eyes tell a heartbreaking story. I hope he’s okay..

[@seriesfanatic]

This seriously needs to happen with every celebrity it's my favorite late night show skit ever

[@surnamedoesnotexist]

Steve + Roger... Cap: "I understood that reference!"

[@MegaMessidona]

It' was like a dream came true for jimmy when he heard "They laugh for a long time"

[@umbro110]

2:14 u see how naturally jimmy can do that? effortlessly

[@BinShayor]

i was just thinkin that,Ben was like what the fuck is thia guy doin laughing for so long.

[@jasonrobertsASTONISHES]

exactly all these years have prepared him for this role !

[@NimaFrost]

So you're saying it's hard for you to fake laugh whenever you want?

[@SGTBizarro]

The hate train is fully loaded, but if you watched Fallon on SNL in his early days, he could NEVER keep it together. He broke in almost every sketch he was in. The guy just laughs easily, and added to that is nervous laughter, especially when he was new to late night. He's not being deliberately fake, just a personality quirk.

[@damunaik4]

That handshake at 6:00 was actually wholesome. And then when Jimmy said "I love being your friend" I also said "awwww" with the audience.

[@audry5255]

As my mom being an accountant, she can say that the oath and handshake are 100% true

[@k.g.3161]

02:11 When Jimmy has the chance to show his fake laugh , without being judged for it !

[@AlainBruno]

Ben Affleck is awesome!

[@jay-vc9ot]

he's so much fun

[@miguellet6034]

he is my favorite actor!!!

[@gelu4in]

I like your shirt:))

[@agentchaos5572]

Put on a shirt. Trying to pull chicks on fucking YT.

[@EaglesMan710]

I hope Jimmy does Kid Theater of Doctor Strange with Benedict Cumberbatch. The title alone makes the comedy in that speak for itself.

[@timesmash]

Brilliant suggestion

[@cjhs2006]

I’d Watch a Movie That Was Written by a Kid

2:10 Jimmy in his element

[@olliebunbun]

Kid Theater is the funniest of all the Tonight Show segments! Just pure comedy that can actually make you laugh.

[@PiazzaGurl]

I like when they hug and stay hugging for a while lol. Then the real hug at the end. Jimmy said with sincerity "I love being your friend?" So cute lol.

[@camilaavila2111]

notice at 2:13 how it said *laughs alot* and Jimmy just went OFF with his professional fake laughing while Ben just got uncomfortable and laughed just a bit. What a joke.

[@veggigoddess]

The fact that there are only a handful of these segments is just absolutely baffling! They are some of the best segments on any talk show

[@gulfmen86]

Ben Affleck = Best batman/Bruce Wayne of all time.

[@xxbigbangxx1]

You are playing with fire, dude

[@thanasisv190]

I agree. But you're crazy. People will murder you for having an opinion.

[@gulfmen86]

Bruce Wayne lmao definitely

[@miliejones3900]

gulfmen86 Michael Keaton is my personal favorite. But Affleck brought Batman's badassery to a whole new level

[@g.e.o.r.g.e...]

Nah, Bale was still better. Besides, it's too soon to tell. BvS had zero character development or established motivations for anyone other than maybe Scoot. I hope his solo movie undoes the damage from Snyder.

[@MrHelloworId]

2:17 That fake Jimmy Fallon laugh he's spent his whole career perfecting.

[@genevacampa8231]

Haha the last one "do you want to fight" tears are rolling down my eyes 👀 hahaha 😊😂😂

"All numbers are the best." Best line, best play!

[@MultiSeastorm]

honestly it sounds like adults wrote the scripts and tried to make it sound like kid writing

[@bobjohnson5557]

That's the whole thing. It's them writing what they think kids would.

[@kikishirlee]

I mean, it is possible. There are some really smart kids out there who can write well. Maybe they just picked the most intelligible of the bunch to use. Who knows?

[@vestpow]

Yep.

[@catxo169]

i agree

[@Chipwhitley274]

Or... the parents edited their work to be more coherent, but essentially what the child was attempting to convey.

[@thanasisv190]

Love me some Ben Affleck.

[@Wolfgangus_Theophilus]

I feel so sorry for the kid who wrote the second one.

[@ToruKun1]

LOL the last kid who named the characters Steve and Roger definitely learned conflict resolution from Marvel movies (two guys are friends, have a petty disagreement, threaten to fight each other and remember they shouldn't fight because they're part of an important team, friendship is re-affirmed)

[@asleyupoglu2745]

look at how cute they look aww

[@trophyheadmvp]

Ever since Affleck played Batman it seems like he has to force a smile...

[@ericdeo.gabriel5753]

because Batman is a serious man. so, its part of the acting to has a hard smile.

[@chajang7292]

that's his actual smile. that's how his face is, at first I thought it was weird too. he looks sad all the time

[@jludwig5374]

Kirk Johns well he did go through a divorce when he was cast as Batman so that must've helped get into character. But now he seems to always be in character :/

[@musa.cakmak]

You had ONE job hahahahaha

[@rrowhe4d]

This was way too good. Ben pulled it off real nice. Did you notice the way he made the repeated "no's" sound so authentic? Please do more of these; there is something so hilarious about children writing skits!

Marcio Couto This joke would have been funny a decade ago. Have you seen his recent work? Dude's been killing it.

[@danhenricus]

Not even a decade ago. Just because the guy did some bad movies and dated J.Lo, didn't make him a bad actor. He proved his acting and especially writing skills much sooner with Good Will Hunting. Guy's always been legit, people are envious. You're an easy target when you're beautiful and famous/rich.
