maya is an absolute gem! the world deserves to see more of her. cast her in everything!

[@jskelly1979]

please no

[@bigem2166]

Absolutely she is HILARIOUS

[@MaxineShaw_84]

💯 Away We Go is top tier!

[@dreamchampagne]

Love the genuine convo between friends like this, rather than promoting something ❤

[@bokan800]

I love their era of SNL. So many talented creatives and geniuses.

[@ufmit]

What an amazing conversation. I’ll take any insight I can get from SNL and to know that they write love letters to their friends on their last read-through sounds like such a rad tradition.

[@oldbeatpete]

how much fun to have been one of them!😊

[@lashendawest7509]

We love maya rudolph and jimmy fallon

[@terencew7716]

Enjoyed this interview

[@ErisRising]

One of the more enjoyable things for me about the current late-night lineup is the fact that both NBC hosts are SNL alumni, meaning we get lots of random anecdotes like this. I suspect it may be maddening for those who don't care for the show, though.

[@cmel7841]

the game show sketch with her and Kristen is epic. Smashing into the set with the cart. So funny

[@thereallg4587]

*The old SNL duo we should’ve seen more of but enjoyed it when they did.*

[@charlescurry5549]

I know their going down SNL days memory lane I just wish they had some footage for reference. Some of those sketches I missed. I'll see if there's a compilation. I might get stuck on some other classics though. I'm a fan from the original "not ready for prime time" players days.

[@heyisforhorses2476]

For season 50 - they need to do entire episodes where the cast is just comprised of a cast of just people from 1999 or another year where the case was a bunch of all stars!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

It’s really true, I’m in my twenties and my peers and friends have lost all sense of play. Dr. Brene Brown talks a lot about how cultivating play is essential to mental and social health. I can’t even sit down and watch a movie without thinking everyone scrolling ten minutes into it.

[@BrunetteOnTheCouch]

Omg! Went for my 56th birthday. Had no idea on top of guest appearance from Maya that Jimmy was in the audience. What a night.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Mara Rudolph is comedy national treasure love her ❤.

[@jskelly1979]

her name is Maya

[@dawnjawid1790]

These two are priceless! 💜💜💜

[@Idontwant1]

That’s one thing I totally agree with them was the 1990’s was the best. Not only did I have my children. But it was right at the start of normal people having cell phones. The phones didn’t have that good of cameras and the screen was so small you didn’t take videos. Texting wasn’t terribly popular thing we did. So if you were hanging out with your friends you played games and did stupid impressions of people we knew. And oh my God we were so silly.

[@Hhhk345]

They’re relaying a message all, get off your phone and learn to engage with people again. I’m in.

[@MykeTowersTopic]

I admire your great work Jimmy, keep it up

[@ilmstreams]

MAYA! We love you!

[@reedykat30]

Minnie’s baby girl is special!!!

[@levonowens4084]

Indeed‼️

I love this duo. ❤

The ABBA was GREAT!

[@laurawright5312]

I’ve heard Maya Rudolph is in the movie If in theaters may 17th.

If Trump Senior has 5 kids by 3 wives and is traveling south at 50 mph, and Trump Junior has 5 kids by one wife and is traveling west at 40 mph, how many indictments until the 2 men meet in prison?

now I remember. That was really sad back then. Emotional singer...

Aquí todos los que apoyan a Jimmy desde sus inicios 😢👇

[@olgasantiago4853]

Apoyo desde sus inicios al 100%. Lo adoro!!!

[@shlby69m]

Maya is a great singer like her Mom! She should do that more.

[@loughlin14]

God bless them both.

[@EricAllen8494]

❤❤❤❤ her

[@Nate-uy8ze]

Kristen last week and Maya this week?! it’s like christmas 😍

[@paulvee1299]

I love Maya. I’ve noticed though that she never talks about Paul Thomas Anderson. I know they do completely different things. I love him as much as I do her.

[@Dazlidorne]

Remember when you could walk into a store and actually be greeted by someone who asked you if you needed help? I 'member!

[@hutch1197]

Remember when you could just watch a fun video and not have to turn it into a negative thing about something that personally upsets you?

[@VILJL]

Maya Rudolph is the daughter of singer Minnie Riperton and composer Richard Rudolph.

[@audreytate2443]

Ah man. I wish they showed the clip of Maya surprising Tina and Amy at their show.

[@thematchababe]

Was the topic change at 0:25 on purpose? lol just seemed like a weird transition

[@MykeTowersTopic]

Reportense los fans de Jimmy Fallon 😢👇❤️

[@toddbushie1657]

She is fun

[@guttom]

I know her, she is Deborah, her real name is Debra

[@oanabadea5472]

When Jimmy says: 'Come on! This is how you do it!' you know he means: 'this is NOT how you do it!'

[@untalentedthe]

Brings me joy that Maya Rudolph is singer Minnie Riperton’s daughter

[@PiazzaGurl]

Where’s the video where Maya and Jimmy making up music!! Omg yall need to put it back up.

[@elizabethkates670]

The Abba sketch was priceless.

I was there when they both were. Two really talented people.

Best SNL body of all time? Maya

[@chrisvannorman4524]

this is gonna sound horrible for some reason but i mean it with all love and respect: she is allowed to age, and keep her career, and i love that

[@brianwhitehead8755]

It's 29.99, you break you buy!

[@taurussian4591]

I just realized there is something off with Jimmy’s left ring finger

[@oldbeatpete]

yes

[@BrightStick14]

Yea he tripped on a rug and his wedding ring got caught on a counter while trying to catch his fall. It was ring avulsion, so a doctor did micro surgery, took a vein from his foot and put it in his hand, saving his finger from possible amputation. This happened in like 2015. He talked about it on the show.

[@moondustmix1682]

Why hasn't Maya had the chance to host snl???

[@stingrey1571]

always thought she was gorgeous

[@jeepdude7359]

Just a couple buddies catching up.. SNL is the modern version of vaudeville acts.

[@judes966]

That applause sign must be huge

[@juanmontenegro520]

Primero

[@Alfredul03]

I ask, why didn't she inherit her singing talent from her mother, the great and unforgettable Minnie Riperton?

[@HanifBarnwell]

Any reason why Maya’s husband has excluded black people from his artistic canvas ???

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

"Its fun to pretend to be a billionaire..." Yeah, just the way Trump has done all these years!

[@MP-lq3xx]

didn't mean to, just giving elitist vibes...disappointed

[@expectationlost]

they could have had this conversation off camera

[@loveforeignaccents]

For real.

[@duffstyles5261]

They did it because maya Rudolph was uncomfortable with the convo going political so she changed the subject immediately and jimmy went with it. 😊

It's like being a voyeur watching other people tell inside jokes. What a waste of time! This narcissist doesn't even look at the audience!

This isn't interesting.

[@imhopted]

Another stupid head, not everything is about phones and comercials, and sales. They are friends talking normally. This stupid generation with social media they don't know what was back then. You better go and find a real job, influencers or doing shit on internet is virtual prostitution. Worse thqn being a real one.
