Jimmy Fallon Sings "Hello" with Lionel Richie's Head

[@rustysmittyful]

Lionel has aged very well!

[@tkmaz]

+Russell Smith I know! I just looked up his age, I was thinking his late 50s...Nope! 66! What??

[@fest5887]

+tkmaz stay away from drugz and alcohol

[@tkmaz]

festus mansaray Thanks for your concern.

[@TheeMuffinMann]

+Russell Smith that's implying he's aged.. which he clearly hasn't

[@jamesa6494]

Beige don't age

[@Bongo2k]

i love the fact both of them are trying so hard not to laugh

[@wernerhuehn674]

Yeah, that makes a funny skit even funnier.

[@cherrypath1702]

yes, agree!

[@wernerhuehn674]

I cracked up when he choked out that "Hello" the second time......as, of course, did the audience.

[@kimtvtnhany9889]

hahaha

[@66Polarbear]

opens his eyes wide just before he says it! LOL

[@faithwelton9097]

I seriously need Jimmy to be in an actual musical movie or something where he sings! Jimmy make it happen lol

[@skylary4674]

I think jimmy would burst into laughter in one serious moment😂

[@rishabhpb]

+Im BerrryBug movies can have multiple takes!

[@Batman-xf3bq]

He has a album

[@rhiannonswinnock9766]

+Im BerrryBug he's got 2 albums out

[@violeta585]

And he has a music video - Idiot boyfriend :)))

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

Lionel cracking up is gold. Amazing artist.

[@charlesbiggs8158]

Fanboy.. your comment is a waste of time

[@SydMountaineer]

⁠@@charlesbiggs8158You think his comment is a waste of time, but your reply proves the opposite: His comment is even more valuable than just contributing to the video discussion, as it provides viewers an excellent example of what a verbally abusive bully is like, someone who allows words to affect their emotions, and is an adult who doesn’t have control over their own emotions, which all adults have the ability to do. Oh, and it also shows the contempt you have for other human beings, likely due to someone being abusive to you, hence the “fanboy”. Thanks for the example of abusive behavior!

[@cupcakemasterwarrior]

I feel like jimmy wanted to be a singer, because he sure does sing a lot.

[@iammusicp]

+ell eliot he definitely has a better pitch than some singers on the show.. ;)

[@NotDingse]

+ell eliot What makes you say he's not already a singer? When can you call yourself a singer?

[@TheTelepathicKid]

+ell eliot in his interview on the Stern show he said that he could never be an actual singer, he only ever wanted to do parodies and comedy. That's why he feels the Tonight Show gig is best for him.

[@MrDarfoot]

+ell eliot apparently one of my friends dad went to school with him and he played guitar in high school. I forget if it was a talent show or morning announcements that he said it was.

[@Cherub200298]

+TheTelepathicKid what about Weird Al? All he does parodies.

[@TRJ2241987]

I always come back to this every couple of years. This is just a flawless comedic idea, pulled off beautifully, the timing, the buttery harmony in their voices, that awesome wig on Fallon....the little things like the way he looks out the window, and looks up from the ball of clay.....they killed this

[@ZicajosProductions]

Lionel Richie has a one-of-a-kind voice. One of the greatest of the 80s! (and still is great!)

[@alexchen8565]

I really like Jimmy Fallon's voice. He's got a pretty tone.

[@missjoey]

I feel that it's such a shame that so little people seem to recognize it.

[@sugardaddy4714]

True, that's basically his only discernible talent (though clearly not enough to make a career out of it). Too bad he sucks at his real job.

[@hankhippopopalous5826]

Agreed

[@MusicMan3]

@@sugardaddy4714 actually his muti talented act is way better than most talk show hosts. The interview part is bullshit anyway. 3mins is not an interview

[@bernhardsonn8996]

True

[@nhuw125432]

No one would get this without watching the real music video. This is so funny lol

[@LorrieSmithSTOPANIMALCRUELTY]

This had me in tears of laughter! Especially when Mr. Ritchie started losing itand laughing. This is wonderful!

[@LilMissKutieee]

Jimmy has a really good voice

[@JotaVIII]

ValerieNicolexx Si, canta de puta madre.

[@TimeandMonotony]

Oh my God how have I not seen this till now?! Jimmy's jeri-curled wig had me in stitches!

[@wendypereira4546]

Jimmy looks like Harpo Marx wonder if he would have cracked up watching it?

[@zkaluf]

I just got it in my recommendation right now mkay

[@happyfreeky]

I thought he was trying to be Bob Ross

[@doggonemess1]

Lionel Richie is doing his best not to crack up. It looks like he suddenly realized how incredibly ironic and silly it was and could barely contain himself.

[@chrisrachellebanuelos6424]

THIS IS EPIC I HAVE TEARS FROM LAUGHING LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

+ChrisRachelle Bañuelos I'm dead!

[@chrisrachellebanuelos6424]

+TheUnorthodoxx my husband told me to shut up I was laughing so hard hahaha

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

+ChrisRachelle Bañuelos I've watched this four times because people say I look like him.

[@thenorwegian76]

The awesome part is that they both have amazing song talent. It wasn't just funny, it was a great duo.

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

+thenorwegian76 Fallon always impresses me with his music talent, especially with JT!

[@bridget5180]

The best part is when jimmy closes his eyes to stop laughing at Lionel.

[@TheShowgunofHarlem]

Tears were literally just running down my face watching this... when Jimmy (like always) starts laughing, I lost it. Awesome clip...

[@DraPatriciaMello]

Jimmy sings so well he could be a singer of any style. Well done!!

[@SuperLoveLexi]

Man I wish Michael Jackson was still alive I can only imagine what hilarious skit Jimmy Fallon would come up with to do with The King of Pop

[@withnoname31]

+Lexi Love Now you made me sad...

[@SuperLoveLexi]

+withnoname31 I'm sorry :(

[@alejandragutierrez5706]

Hello buenas noches Buenos me re bendiga Bendiciones

[@SuperLoveLexi]

Jimmy should do one with Janet Jackson. She has a new album coming out.

[@SaikiJax]

+Lexi Love that would've been great :(

[@alpin.elmazi]

I love how jimmy reactivated the "act-mode" 01:49

[@BrxIghtside]

Snl trick for sure

[@gisse7629]

hahhahahahhaha yes!! So funny!

[@MrPrissinio]

Jimmy Fallon is such an excellent modern age comedian, rarely exaggerates, always entertaining and can make the younger generations and some of the older generations laugh like crazy. Well adapted to new technologies, fashions and millennial culture. Cheers

[@mannyescuela3511]

“Rarely exaggerates”

[@g.m.5395]

Fallon=Bob Ross 🤣🤣🤣

[@charlesbiggs8158]

Fanboy

[@valeartic]

1:39 HeLLLooOuu OMG HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA😭😂😭😂😭😂 I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING

[@Admiral_John]

The comedic timing behind that one word just makes the skit. :)

[@joedesalvo3316]

He needs to bring on Rick Astley for a parody

[@evadesc]

+B.A. Chan brilliant idea

[@434Saibot]

Brilliant!

[@LuigiKenobi]

you win the Internet idea for the day haha, Rick roll the tonight show hahaha

[@ΣοφίαΑδαμίδου-β5π]

yessssss!!!! Rick Astley

[@kylamarie9686]

Hell yeah

[@SuperLoveLexi]

I will never get tired of listening to Jimmy sing, he just has one of those soothing once in a lifetime type voices, he can even sing good while laughing that is rare. :)

[@InkawgNeetoh]

This is perfect in so many ways!! The set, the concept, and the range of the song is perfect for Jimmy's voice. And that wig, man!! That wig!!

[@miarrem]

Lionel's "hello"...burst out laughing

[@donprincoify]

Lionel Richie is one of my all time favorite musicians.He is great.

[@nadkert]

I am satisfied that Lionel Richie puts an end to the mockeries which he underwent for years about the clip. It is one of aspects of this rich skit. Great song. Great parody

[@mlpremotions388]

[@khandkerkhadeejah9639]

jimmy is a really good singer

[@erikbedard713]

Whomever came up with the idea for this skit deserves a promotion.

[@violeta585]

It was Jimmy's idea...dang, he's already the boss! :)))

[@lolajoker]

+Voicu Violeta: What in the video was Jimmy's idea?

[@violeta585]

Gary D'Ascenz The entire thing! ;)

[@lolajoker]

How do you know it was Jimmy and not one of his writers?

[@violeta585]

+Gary D'Ascenz :) b/c one of his writers said so in a tweet: ''Tonight, from the brain of @jimmyfallon, a wonderfully weird and hilarious musical sketch. Act 2. #FallonTonight #Hello '' ...Act 2 I think refers to the fact that Jimmy also came up w/ Two James Taylors on a Seesaw bit...also ''wonderfully weird''...for that one he had some help w/ the lyrics from his long time writer, Mike DiCenzo (Mets Bucket Hat Guy)...also the guy who tweeted about these sketches.

[@missladygray]

How they made it all the way through the song, I will never understand. I laughed so incredibly hard. LMAO

[@michelleharkness7549]

This performance is amazing! They sing so beautifully together and remain focused. In this stressed-out world it is good to laugh now and then.Great job ! Heartfelt thanks and best of luck.

[@JadenYukifan28]

I have to wonder how long Lionel was kneeling like that under the table with his head sticking out of the top of it..

[@SydMountaineer]

Who could’ve ever imagined that: *”I long to see the the sunlight in your hair….”* could be so hilarious?! 😂😂😂

Man Lionel Richie... what a legend! And this is hilarious to boot :D

[@reneegeorge2369]

Jimmy is HILARIOUS!! and his voice is AMAZING!! I never liked boring late night talk shows before I starting watching Jimmy. I saw them all Leno, Letterman, Conan, had no interest. The interviews were always so boring and stiff. I don't want listen to celebrities go on and on about themselves, while host just sits behind a desk and tries to be funny. I want celebrities to shut up and do what they do best entertain us!! Sing songs, play fun games, do lipsync battles, and crack me up with hilarious skits like this one. Jimmy has best late night show on TV cause he doesn't just sit behind a desk all the time, but does hilarious stuff like this. Jay Leno couldn't sing or dance or write hilarious skits like this and get celebrities to participate, have fun and not be so uptight and boring. Way to go Jimmy Fallon, you've brought LIFE back into LATE NIGHT!! Keep it up!!! Don't be like the rest, be yourself, be funny and be original like this.

[@socalocman03]

+Renee George If you want to witness amazing interviews you need to check out The Late Late Late show with host Craig Ferguson, he is all over You Tube.

[@reneegeorge2369]

I've seen Craig Ferguson he's probably my favorite next to Jimmy here. They like to have fun and don't take themselves too seriously.

[@CorsetGrace]

+Renee George i AGREE! jIMMY fALLON THEN cRAIG fERGUSON ARE BOTH EXCELLENT TALK SHOW HOSTS. wAIT. iS MY caps lock ON?

[@reneegeorge2369]

YES it is on lol

[@skyBOURNEdigital]

+Leslie Morrison I agree both Craig and Jimmy Fallon are great late night hosts.

[@SydMountaineer]

Jimmy reminds me of Bob Ross from the 70s!!!😂 *”There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.”* 😂

[@BoyAditya]

such a hard job keeping that face straight when everyone laugh 😁😂😂

[@rkrithiv]

Jimmy Fallon is PURE brilliance. What can he can't do?

[@alexishall7125]

Still loving this 4 years later. My favorite Lionel Ritchie song with a hilarious sketch! 😂😂

[@rickyvandijk]

Hilarious! 😂 Jimmy and Lionel are a good singing duo and that they crack up makes it even 10x better! 💪🏻

[@marceloreis7327]

I love how neither of them could keep a straight face for long... absolutely love this sketches

[@Chase55tx]

Jimmy Fallon is one of the most talented, gifted and entertaining artist of our millennium without question.

[@xcalybur75]

Jimmy is just one of the all time greatest late night hosts. He will only get better and better over time.

[@maximusp210]

one of the worst...he looks so uncomfortable and awkward out there..he is only good for parody videos like this n SNL type skids

[@xJOKERGOTNEXTx]

+maximusp210 good joke, at least you tried.

[@user-ds5fr6ob3i]

Hes the best.. They dont get no better than him..

What a great sport Lionel Ritchie was here. Love this

[@TheFirearmGuy]

They should go on tour with that song. They actually sounded real good

[@mariav9445]

Jimmy knows how to act, sing and dance!he really deserves more awards

[@LorrieSmithSTOPANIMALCRUELTY]

I still love it when they're both laughing.

[@thesingngchubbs97oapqueen85]

Hilarious!!!! How they did it with a straight face is beyond me. I LOVE Mr Lionel Richie

[@jilliansmith5571]

I'm amazed they both didn't fall out laughing... Jimmy used to be clutch for cracking up on SNL. Gotta love the brilliance Jimmy and The Roots bring to late night.

[@chivibezx92]

I've loved Jimmy's singing ever since his song "Idiot Boyfriend" 😂😂😂

[@johnlemus7921]

Lionel Richie looked like he was about to burst when ever Jimmy sang his parts. This was too funny.

[@DominiqueGarofalo]

Lionel Richie has a hell of a sense of humor to do this! Makes me like him even more.

[@joshuas1960]

Watching Lionel Richie trying not to laugh....LMAO!!

[@pxmonkeederp]

Let's just take a moment and appreciate Lionel Richie for a moment - Jimmy & Co. came to him with a silly idea that lampooned his classic song, and he was totally game. Class act.

[@karthu1993]

Best Jimmy Fallon skit ever!!!!

[@OvercomeComeOver]

Uncle Leo: "Lionel! Hello!" Lionel: "Hello, is it me you're looking for?"

[@priyankaraghuthaman5747]

I watch this video whenever I feel sad. Thanks Tonight Show and the Roots. 🙏👍

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

Lionel Richie is and always will be a legend.

[@JacobFrey]

Great duet! This was so weird and so funny. Great song, Lionel is an amazing writer!

[@wutzit]

One of the few skits that never gets old.

[@ythompson86]

[@BojackUnb0und]

When Lionel says "Hello" and his voice cracks from trying not to laugh, I almost died.

This skit should be given an award. If this doesn't prove that Jimmy Fallon is the king of late night tv, then God help us all.

[@cristinasolano6487]

Great routine, you can never go wrong with Lionel Richie. You can see him trying not to break up laughing at 1:32. He's aged very well too.

[@mariav9445]

[@quinndevil3080]

True

[@Mawds69]

That's one of the best parts about Jimmy, he can't keep character and just cracks up. It makes it more funny.
