[@danielhofkes7064]

Prince is like the celebrity's celebrity

[@nelwina8920]

I agree

[@mdr9738]

FACTS

[@tipc6885]

I don't care how many people say Taxi sucked, I cant help but love it.

[@abbiegood25]

Taxi is fuckin golden

[@PudWhacker]

Tip C Who SAID IT SUCKED ?

[@XXavierTaylor]

it's a little moment but when fallon kicks the door open screaming and it's already open and it just slams in his face, I laugh so hard.

[@smartaleck05]

Tip C Heck, no, Taxi is hilarious! It's a little cheezy, but so are most comedy movies from the early 2000s.

[@Angedoescoversongs]

Xavier Taylor o man I forgot about that scene ur description just made me laugh hahaha hilarious

[@dailycarolina.]

Their movie "TAXI" is so hilarious , especially the Laughing Gas Scene

[@brothersum1359]

Lmao "I sound like Barry whites illegitimate white grandson."

[@julia-ge7ri]

Trueee and also the scene where Jimmy was singing in the car to drive

[@Marifervasquez2027]

I like the scene when he was trying to get out of the parking space 😂😂😂😂

[@neogeo2040]

I am the only one noticing in the story... there was Prince and Queen... in "The Palace"... ehehehehe

[@vamanosninja4143]

ohh awesome

[@GNeeNee]

Woah!...that tells u something or us...Queen Elizabeth's bday was the day that Prince was "taken away"...

[@jonahtheking9451]

'Dont touch Prince. Dont touch him!' That would be me af.

[@shenyaet3350]

Prince reminded me of one of those perfect sculptures that just couldn’t be touched. He was soo handsome 💜

[@phillipsmom6252]

She's beautiful, inside and out............

[@KellieAlston]

I love hearing these funny stories about him.

[@mrbrowz1000101]

💯

[@lucianasser]

Such a lovely charismatic woman!

[@kokomylife6911]

Luli Nasser biggest crush

[@mrbrowz1000101]

@@kokomylife6911 Nope...bigger crush lol.

[@RayfieldA]

I love how when Latifah re-enacted being on the elevator with Prince that she kept looking DOWN to her left, implying how short he was!! 🤣 God, I wish he were still with us! 😌

[@thetruthhurtsu]

lol prince was sure a jokester! Some friends and i would always go to EXCELSIOR to Lake Minnetonka on weekends when we were off from work, and i swear Prince would get a kick out of driving next to us, and slowing down and as soon as you looked over at him, he would go from 0-80mphs in a split second. He did that all thew time if we saw him driving lol I honestly thought that would be how he died because i don't think i ever seen anyone drive that fast, and in Minnesota, cops love writing speeding tickets, but for prince. Come to find out later that, the police were paid extra to overlook the speeding lol I must say that, Prince was really a genuine guy from the heart though. If he liked you, then you were golden to him.

[@kenwho]

thank you for sharing!

[@TheLastChickenWing]

she is an incredibly intelligent, compassionate, and well-spoken woman. You can tell she expects respect by how she carries herself proudly (she oozes self confidence)

[@davidburgess3882]

long time crush on her... Gorgeous, intelligent, talented lady!

[@decacards5250]

Every Prince story is hilarious.

[@Jr-sw8wj]

Jimmy is by far the most enjoyable talk show host to watch and listen to. You can tell he genuinely enjoys hearing and living through his guest’s stories.

[@briyahnm4971]

Queen Latifah!!

[@TheLegendaryDoc]

R.I.P. Prince..... :-(

R.I.P Prince :(

[@lauremehrkens5891]

I just love her. She’s so sweet and beautiful and funny. I absolutely loved them in the movie, “Taxi.” One of my favorite comedies, ever. Great interview.

[@kellydotcom8421]

"I can't come up there you prince... but I went up anyway" :'D

[@fanaharon2230]

Prince was literally the celebrity of celebrities

[@2013venjix]

Taxi reunion!!!!

[@NicoleReign]

We really shouldn't compare Prince to One Direction guys smh😂😂😂💜

[@kimminor2628]

incredibly stunned,.......Im really gonna miss you. Apart of my heart has gone with you...........Peace be with you, may your music forever play in the heavens......

[@emmamary25]

Soooo can we get Taxi 2 going or nah?

[@KwyatMan]

There's already a Taxi 2, 3 & 4

[@emmamary25]

Kwyat Man with the OG cast thooo

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

dilemma may OG

[@livzzz2194]

dilemma may that would seriously be a dream come true

[@DOTHERIGHTTHING1989]

+dilemma may OG cast?You mean not the remake with Queen Latifah,do you ?it's french movie by Luc Besson.

[@Ramfloor22]

Almost every black person who goes on the show is friends with quest love

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

It makes sense with people like Latifah, since she's a rapper

[@awsomeboy360]

PJ She was a rapper. I do find that interest O:

[@macbookproearly2011]

Ramiro Flores Far less famous black people than white people, it's a community within a community.

[@jaleesamg]

PJ This woman had flooooooow back in the day.

[@ciaa8387]

Joey COCO okay? No one knows what you’re talking about

[@orionxavier6957]

So what did Jimmy learn from this? When Prince calls you on stage to dance you say YES. Lol.

[@martinlonga431]

Good night, sweet Prince ... :,-(

[@AdamSmithNES]

Queen has some beautiful eyes

[@MickeyJaymz]

These elevator stories are a trigger. "When the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy, punch to a higher floor!" Ironically, my man died on an elevator in his own home. I would like to believe that he was on his way up to the next floor. We love you Prince.

[@davidv4602]

Sucks we have the horrible music today with the drugs and money lyrics. Prince will forever be a legend!!!! Step it the fuck up music artists

[@alexandratimmons6566]

so true

[@NicoleReign]

Agreed👏🏼👏🏼

[@theonecalledvino8165]

David V - There's incredible music all around you.. Maybe you should step your music listening options the fuck up. - On behalf Music artists everywhere.

[@shreddingstuff]

R.I.P Prince

[@monaeallsup6140]

"Who you callin a bitch!? U.N.I.T.Y." That's what I remember seeing the Queen, anyone else?

[@CYndibabI]

love these prince stories!

[@gee9237]

CYndibabI Anything and Everything can happen with Prince! 😁

[@themitchwich]

NEVER say no to prince

[@howardpark86]

I can't help but notice that bitter look on captain kirk's face when queen latifah mentions how prince is the coolest and points to questlove. for those who don't know, prince was on fallon one night and borrowed a guitar from captain kirk, which prince went on to smash and destroy on stage, because, like, he's prince. poor captain kirk.

[@Lousson2695]

I'd be mad every time I saw my SG airborne, too.....

[@Scout555]

Prince paid for a new guitar. It's on another Fallon / Prince clip on yt.

[@howardpark86]

+Scout I know that, but that doesn't even it out, don't you think? kirk was still the big guy for staying cool with it nonetheless.

[@Lousson2695]

Howard Park Scout​ Kirk was a saint. Granted it WAS Prince.....

[@valerieboone7674]

I've never had the chance to meet Prince, but we had a connection: favorite color 💜 and born on the same day, exactly 20 yrs apart. How awesome is that!!! Plus he was one of my favorite singer/song writer!!!💜💜 Miss you!💜💜

[@Joy-is-me]

I love her hair!!!!!!!!!

[@jewelgeorge477]

That was a good prank on Jimmy they pulled lol. Kind of reminds me of a scene from Disney Goofy movie when Goofy and Max wind up on stage to dance with the singer Powerline who was kind of modeled after Prince and Michael Jackson

[@Valeisha1999]

Taxi is one of my favorite movies and I love Prince 💜❤️💜❤️💜

[@leslieh1552]

Queen Latifah & Jimmy Fallon my two very best Favourites * )

[@newernewestnew]

PRINCE IS LIFE.

[@beckygamble2992]

I can't be the only one that heard The Palace hotel and thought, Gossip Girl!

[@Volvican]

He didn't want to have a Kardashian moment. ''Girl - get off the stage!'

[@freegratuits]

Queen Latifah was my One Direction when I was a teen. I still know all the lyrics to the whole "Black Reign" album.

[@jesikita2010]

Taxi!!!!!

[@HoboTheMan]

imma let you finish , but kevin smith has the best prince story of all time!

[@alishadaswani6796]

Queen Latifah and King Fallon talking about... Prince.

[@derekrowe6890]

Both stories involve elevators. And thats where they found Prince. Eerie

[@shenyaet3350]

Derek Rowe That was murdered and it’s soo sad 💜

[@shenyaet3350]

I miss Prince soo much. Every time I think about that man I get sad. I will never forget the year of 2016 💜💜💜

[@Qee7en]

'My One Direction was Prince.' That sounds so wrong.

[@gabooper]

how so?

[@Ty-yy8cg]

What's funny is I grew up watching all queen latifah movies and I would re watch taxi me and my grandma loved it so much.

[@Solum86]

Jimmy's a really good story teller

[@Daskaar]

Their chemistry is overwhelming.

[@yasminpaterson2894]

Crazy how he's passed away now...

[@kennybosefus]

Sucks. :/

[@MrJeezus]

Ask the Roots guitarist Kirk Douglas what his favorite Prince story is.

[@shamrockm99]

PRINCE❤️

[@jonathanfalkowsky672]

Andy and Belle back together again

[@e.p5109]

We need her back on the show ❣️

[@AleahKCH]

I clicked this video because I thought I was gonna hear Jimmy's Prince impression. His story was much better though lol

[@kshinokevin]

I liked Queen Latifah in "Living Single," "Bringing Down The House." and "Set It Off."

[@jimipurple123]

Musicians are the biggest stars on earth

[@ashleimichael562]

"It's me and A.J. from extra" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@taylortiller]

[@whatssssguddoe8429]

Everytime she says elevator

[@daniellamantia7324]

[@Microfoot]

[@Christo01]

latifa such a cool and talented chic.. always loved her

[@jaydencanadianconnell500]

RIP prince

[@ghettomist1575]

The difference is that on Princes first album he wrote the songs, produced them, sang them, and played 27 instruments all by him self. One direction just sings.

[@m.a.omarkhail8294]

RIP PRINCE

[@WithADashOfPazazz]

left in a cloud of purple smoke 😂

[@dragonballz4998]

Ping pong matches and pancakes for breakfast. Only Prince

[@1DNETTA]

[@malcolmxpanther]

[@penrose.]

[@drumboyish]

[@SvanVosianMusic]

[@shenyaet3350]

Michael Blackshire Tupac is in heaven

[@tynetta91]

I keep coming back to this video.

[@christophercouch7116]

She is sooo beautiful

[@vegitausa]

Prince is the last true celebrity. I say that cause we don't see or hear from him often as opposed to everyone else we hear about all the time.

[@Scout555]

Great comment back when you posted this, and now quite poignant.

[@vegitausa]

Scout Thanks for the reminder. I had forgot I made this comment.

[@aprilwest9852]

vegitausa well he's dead now. He must of died right after you posted your comment. So sad.

[@dar1odemaliaj263]

You Guys were amazing in Taxi hahahahhaha! WASHBURN!

[@shenyaet3350]

I can see Prince dating a beautiful women like Queen latifah. She has very strong personality and she carries herself with such class.

[@mahasin77]

love the prince stories. thanks for sharing

[@arayadenise8745]

"This will be u and me eternally"...taxi was my movie!!!

[@clareecebrereton9724]

They were awesome in the movie Taxi

[@butts359]

Surely there was more to the story than the piano at the couch. I've heard Jimmy's story before and he really didn't need to make the interview about himself.

[@geraldgreen5371]

Taxi 2....let's get it....

[@vamanosninja4143]

"Dance with us" said Prince and Quest to Jimmy. Then they left him the way he left J Law.

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

Every celebrity turns to a fan around prince and Michael Jackson.

[@yusufalikhan4823]
