[@pennydls5073]

They're just dads talking bout airfriers 🤣🤣♥️

[@Dr.LongMonkey]

Will Ferrel is so good at starting jokes, he knows exactly what to say to get other people rolling

[@onepoint2320]

Talent and experience buddy

[@motorhead48067]

@@onepoint2320 Obviously lmao. What an insightful comment

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I don't think there's been an interview this confusing and hilarious since Late Night with Conan days. I didn't learn anything. I didn't know what was going on at any given moment. And I'm still more enlightened and happier feeling than I was six minutes ago.

[@marko6947]

It was garbage

[@134splashymothfan7]

watch steve martin+martin short late night interviews they did one on fallon and just made fun of him the whole time it was great

[@bluesky8600]

They are high as fuck thats why

[@tashamiel]

I think Paul Rudd's stopped aging at about, like, 32-33? Will Ferrell is only 1 or 2 years older than him. but they're both hilarious af 🙌

[@RobertSchmitt]

Hair color pays a big part here I think. will looks good but grey hair has him looking older

[@koshobai]

32?! Paul looks 39-43, probably because of the slightly slower energy than a person in his early thirties. Still has his wit though.

[@telmolicious]

@@RobertSchmitt Wills gave looks significantly older

[@ColtonWelty]

So true. Will is 54 and Paul is 52.

[@erick07cas]

The statement Paul is hilarious is hilarious 😆 hilarious 😂

[@sanalraj5155]

"That's just a metal trash can", that hit me harder than I would like to admit :P

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Sometimes you don’t need jokes flying. It’s honestly nice just to see them talking about something nice and being silly. :)

[@imjamies6440]

SHOCKING!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWnbg52kgd2Nnqs

[@bernlin2000]

Don't worry, Jimmy is use to jokes not flying XD you can tell he's at ease with these guys

[@alexlettieri]

I want to watch the extended version of this interview!

[@Johnny-pk5gg]

Everytime I see Paul Rudd ... I think about the famous "hey look at us" video lmao.

[@betatest5789]

Who would've thought?

[@CataRDJ]

@@betatest5789 Not me!

[@jomontanee]

I think of “YOU SPIN ME ROUND ROUND ROUND ROUND”

[@Spaceboundwitch]

The most iconic Hot Ones interview

[@manasas868]

Hey hey lok at us. I mean lok at us

[@brucenlong]

Will Ferrell is one of my all time favs from SNL!

[@Mikey-em8hs]

Back when SNL was funny

[@marah3298]

Me too

[@Orcishihi]

0:21 "You go to Turkey" by Jimmy Fallon was actually quite funny.

[@Guynami]

so, that’s what a conversation between three american dads sounds like…

[@alfiemarie]

this is like a conversation with ur friends when all 3 of u are high af 😂😂😂 so funny

[@marah3298]

Yes 😂 😂

[@Zaksaladfingers17]

I love this because it just feels like 3 friends hanging and bullshitting and we get to watch haha

[@LeezPgh]

Jimmy got Will. You can see him chuckling at the end. Nice Jim. Good on ya.

[@sslim26]

Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd are 2 years apart in age…🤯

[@adamwelsch7308]

but looks like 15 years difference lets face it that Will said he turned down Elf 2 because he felt he aged too much for the part if it was Paul who did the original he would of would of did part 2

[@ishankadassanayake6179]

This interview is a fever dream

[@robertparks7233]

Paul Rudd,I got a crush,Not That There's Anything Wrong With That.

[@imjamies6440]

SHOCKING!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWnbg52kgd2Nnqs

[@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit]

Where is Ryan reyonold

[@HotMess320]

Making Mint commercials

[@jerichocruzado]

Someone watches both jimmys

[@michaelmcconnell7615]

He's stuffing Blake's turkey

[@QuangNguyen20]

He must’ve died. That’s the only logical explanation

[@furmanfurman]

Goooood question. But more importantly, where is Ryan Reynolds?

[@TrueCrimeQueen]

I love your videos!! They're so amazing. Stay safe out there everyone ❤️

[@roser18]

this video made me feel like i was having a stroke for the first 3 minutes

[@roser18]

in the best possible way

[@mullallylally]

This is giving off so much norm vibes the sheer randomness / awkward talking is great

[@jfeaze1112]

They are describing a "deep fryer", it's not a "air fryer". Lol. GG

[@tinaxchris]

"I've never met him." "Me?"

[@jomontanee]

I watched live from TV and the entrance of these 3 men were EPIC!! 3 coolest dudes ever!!!!!

[@annagampert8298]

They are so great together! Happy thanksgiving to all.

[@felinegroovey8627]

Love all three of these genuinely nice guys.

[@lisabrummett6075]

Love both of them. Will is one of my favorites, he's hilarious

[@angelicajimenez2328]

Love them! Really nice duo

[@naokohoman4676]

Everyone saying Will looks so much older, actually his face is still really young looking, the grey hair is what ages him

[@Aaronp1877]

Will Ferrell does this all the time when it’s not really a traditional joke with a punch line and everything he just starts telling obvious lies and just lets it go where it takes him

[@homerg2724]

😂😂😂😂😂 you just described my life 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Ryan-xh7pe]

This might have been the best skit(?) from jimmy, the amount of dry sarcasm is insane lmao

[@Phi1618033]

With an air fryer, 60% of the time, it works every time.

[@MikePhoenix007]

This is the most hilariously absurd interview. I couldn't tell what the hell was going on, but I loved every minute!

[@AndreeaCalarasu]

I dont even have Thanksgiving in my country, but I know y'all guys are thankful for each other

[@julievandingenen1987]

I love how awkward Paul looks when Jimmy brings up the sexiest man alive.. makes him even more sexy!

[@erick07cas]

Uuuh everyone has the same reaction to that title no one truly accepts that shit not even Pitt.

[@adamwelsch7308]

@@erick07cas its not that he is the sexiest man alive it is that he is the best aged man in America I mean for 52 he looks 32 as Will is only 2 years older and looks like a 15 years older at least

[@c-light7624]

Will: Since it’s Thanksgiving tonight. All 3: 😏😏😏

[@BlakieTT]

"Since it's Thanksgiving tonight... 👀" 😂

[@wintersalas700]

It is shocking to me that Paul is 52 and Will is 54...😮😶

Now we have to get the “Tonight Show Float”… let’s make it happen 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@BINKRAY]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone 😊

[@brandonpolin7929]

I knew either Will or Paul would actually take a bite lmao 🤣

[@bill930505]

Anybody watching this on TV, the show’s episode just started. But, BUT, when Jimmy announces Paul and Will into the guest seat…… Please FULL BLAST TURN ON SEPTEMBER BY EARTH, WIND, & FIRE! 🤣
