Jimmy Fallon and Jamie Lee Curtis almost as creepy the real You Can See Everything trailer
Jimmy Fallon and Jamie Lee Curtis parodied Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Homes' stare-down for The Tonight Show cold open on Wednesday.
The teaser trailer for Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's documentary You Can See Everything is a masterpiece of uneasiness. Just Fielder and subject Elizabeth Holmes conversing, yet the subdued tones, subtly building music, and their unwavering eye contact as Fielder repeatedly questions if she's lying makes the A24 film seem like it might suddenly erupt into chaos.
Parodies of this unnerving interaction are spreading, with Kate McKinnon and Seth Meyers even doing an impromptu face-off on Late Night With Seth Meyers last month. While nobody claims The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon copied this idea, given the friendship between Meyers, McKinnon, and Fallon, it's easy to understand how he gained Jamie Lee Curtis for their own mock interview segment.
Fallon's makeup and hair team have flawlessly replicated Fielder's features, while the unblinking Curtis, with her caked-on blush, evokes a haunting What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? vibe. Fallon warily asks if Curtis is only here to promote her new NBC sitcom Newlyweds or if she genuinely wants to be on the show. Curtis answers, "Of course I do," with a frozen expression, "I love talking to you."
Despite Fallon's intense appearance, he allows Curtis to break character momentarily, admitting she thinks Fallon is an asshole.
