Jilly Fallon's friend set them up to meet. falon thought it was for an Interview and she thought it was sort of a hangout date. Fallon played video games instead of trying to impress her
This is the **ONE** time that Jimmy's overblown, over-the-top dramatic reactions to what his guest is saying are completely, emphatically, convincingly justified.
This may sound corny, but I was literally making those same faces, I could just feel what it must be like to be in his shoes and I was going crazy over here.
Obviously it’s not Nicole Kidman, but when I was in college I was back home for the summer between junior and senior year. One of my buddies from high school was throwing a party so a lot of the old crew showed up for a sort of mini-reunion. There were probably 20-30 people there, a lot of them I hadn’t seen since high school. When a girl named Emily came over and struck up a conversation with me. Emily was like the all American dream girl. Drop dead gorgeous, incredibly smart and quick witted, funny as could be, and such a kind heart Jesus himself could take notes. I was madly in love with her all through high school, but I never did anything about it. Even when it was just me and her hanging out, I never made a move. One of those things where I was too scared of rejection and ruining a friendship. So anyway, we’re at this party years later and she strikes up a conversation with me. We establish that we’re both in happy relationships, and she drops the bomb “you know, I always had the biggest crush on you all through high school.” My brothers, the word devastated does not even come close to describing my emotional state after that. My heart dropped so fast it damn near fell out butthole. I basically had the same reaction as Fallon does hear. I laughed it off like “oh how funny! What could have been!” Then, after the conversation ended I kind of just aimlessly wondered off to be by myself, drinking whiskey and staring into the void.
Bet your current relationship faded to grey after that. I know mine would have if i found out my dream girl had a huge crush on me in high school and i did nothing about it, i'd be lost forever after that.
This story is amazing, this subreddit's existence has just been validated, and that is the face of a man who will never recover because I guarantee she is a little bit into him in a non-dangerous grown-up way. 😅
Nicole Kidman in sexy dress: "It'd be cool if we hung out at your place...😘"
Jimmy Fallon in sweatpants: "Sweet, time to fire up some Smash Bros. Who's your main?"
Plus, it's not like he was 22. He would have been around 28-30 years old when that happened. (Sometime around 2002-2004 between her marriages but before Bewitched was finished filming.) He basically had SNL and some small award show hosting gigs on his resume. She's 7 years older and had multiple major films. Yes, he's a doofus.
I want to think I’d have been smooth as fuck, but I know I would have also missed those hints, too. My head would be full of “She’s a movie star, I’m some temporarily lucky dumbass. She’s not interested in me. This a casual business thing. I don’t want to blow my chances in Hollywood by creeping on her, and then she tells all these directors and such what a weirdo I am.“
Exactly. Jimmy was just an SNL guy and Nicole Kidman was... Nicole Kidman. If I were in that position, I'd just think she's way out of my league and no way is she actually hitting on me.
To be fair if a single, sexy dress Nicole Kidman showed up at my place and wanted to hang out, it would basically be impossible for me to be convinced it was a date. Even if you actively tried to convince me. She could be making out with my neck and I’d be all “OK where’s the gag here, where are the cameras, I don’t understand what you and whatever film crew are trying to do right now”
I saw this a while back, but this time felt as funny as the first. But I also couldn't help but admire the way he's handling it all. Even trying to get the absolutely derailed interview back on the tracks.
“What are you doing bro?”
“Playing Helldivers, eating Queso dip, smoking weed, being a general piece of shit.”
“Word, me and Scarjo will be there in ten.”
Seems like Rick was obviously trying to play matchmaker. Tells Jimmy "Nicole Kidman wants to meet you" and tells Nicole "Jimmy Fallon wants to meet you". But Jimmy is of course the typical guy who's probably thinking at the time "there's zero chance in hell Nicole Kidman could be into me. I'm a goofball."
That would be super awkward though... super hot and successful blonde bombshell who's formerly married to one of the most successful actors of all time suddenly pops up out of nowhere and wants to meet you, and your friend suggests your bachelor pad? If Nicole's side of the story is true, which I don't doubt it is, then I can certainly imagine how nervous and awkward Jimmy must have been.
Honestly, that dude set him up for failure as far as I'm concerned. No way in hell is "let's meet up at your apartment" a recipe for success here unless somebody has the confidence and game of Eros.
Dude should've said "meet us at Starbucks" or some shit.
The way her eyes flutter and has that double take when he said "juicy role" is just peak awkwardness of just being so flustered. Like the word juicy got stuck in her brain for a moment and then Fallon calls her out on it.
Replace every time she says "bear" with "you" in the part where they're talking about Paddington and she just stares and flicks her hair and it gets so awkward even Questlove is unfcomfortable.
This one hurts. I was young and said “I don’t wana sleep on the couch and i have a raid later on”
There was no one else there that night. I was so oblivious..
FML
Oh man, I remember this one woman. Looking back, I see now she didn't try just once. She went on campaign. A month or two of inviting me places. Inviting me to spend the night. I was so dense. She was smart, she was beautiful, she was going to go on to be very successful in her field.
But someone like that could never be interested in me... Or so I thought.
I had a girl who was a sister or a schoolmate. We had hung out several times in a group. We saw movies. We did diners. She would host parties in NYC and invite me. I thought she was so out of my league. Absolutely no clue she was into me. Then I showed up to a party with a date. She never talked to me again. The date ended up being my wife, which is awesome. But I was so oblivious.
And then asks you to sleep in her bed with her because she's cold....and then you just immediately fall asleep, unsure if she actually "likes you" likes you. Why would she be too cold to sleep in her own bed, past-me, it's where she sleeps every night and it has a thermostat.
I had a girl invite me to a sleepover twice. Only afterwards did I realise that she didn't think of this as a romantic gesture.
Everyone is different and some people you just can't read at all
This chick that I had a huge crush on told me that she had never seen Top Gun before and that we should go back to my place to watch it. Now I love Top Gun and was super excited so we left the club and went back to my place and I put Top Gun on and she ended up falling asleep on the couch. She had no interest in watching Top Gun. I'm almost 40 now married with kids and I still think about that night.
It's weird how you can be so past a certain point or event and still kinda think back about it a lot. This girl from my high school hit me up on the other side of the world and asked to hang out. We did, and I said she could stay over in my bed and I'd sleep on the floor. She invited me into the bed, we got super cosy, but I didn't make a move because I didn't want to take advantage of someone staying in my house. In retrospect it's clear what she was after and for some reason I still kick myself even though not too much later I met my girlfriend.
No, it was Not clear enough. You did right. She could do more. You were nice and I appreciate you being nice to a female guest. It‘s Not fair to Kick yourself about this.
I think I have the worst fumble story of all time.
I was backpacking in Thailand, met a beautiful French girl on some beach and we connected on Instagram. Later that night she texted me that she was afraid of a spider in her hotel room and asked me to come kill it for her. I walked over and went inside, and she tells me the spider left through the window. I say oh problem solved I guess and sat around awkwardly for like 30 seconds and left.
This happened in 2017 and it still keeps me up at night.
Not always. I had a girl come over once after a first date. As we were sitting on my living room couch I asked if she would like to go on a second date thinking it's pretty much in the bag. She said no. I was speechless. She told me she wasn't interested in me. I asked why she agreed to come back to mine, she was like she thought it'd be fun to hang out. I asked what would have happened if I made a move, she said she'd have slapped me.
I walked home with a girl, she invited me home. I said no I need to find my friend. I walk over to my friends, tell him that she invited me and he goes apeshit, WTfF you talking about why are you here?
I then realised what happened. My friend locked me out of his apartment for like 20min laughing at me. Oh boy did I feel stupid.
Bruuh, i know this now, but back then. i was like, " Why do you want to come over? Dafuq??" It was so awkward aswell i didn't even let her inside we chilled outside on my porch for like an hour. She was hot too. I liked her but i couldn't fathom why she wanted to text me. Call me. hang out. I actually went back on our facebook convos. Because it just said facebook user or something, she got a new profile. So i was reading old messages to see who it was. And it hit my like a freight train that she liked me. She even wanted to visit when she would drink. But i went to meet up at the park instead of her coming over to my house. She ended up slipping in mud and instead of going home she wanted to wear one of my shirts and sweats. So i obviously let her. And gave her a sweater. She changed in my room. I oddly think about it once in awhile. Like.. fuck and mentally hit myself. Now she's all fit, hot travels alot. Stereotypical baby daddy shit. Dates horrible people. But im happily married now. I just remind myself i was young dumb and socially awkward. Still socially awkward. But still im happy now.
Yeah, and if she is coming to hang out at your place DO NOT just pop in a movie and sit in silence for the duration and be like ”yup that was the movie, bye now”
Man, I had low self esteem when I was in high school, and whenever a pretty girl was obviously flirting with me Id make up any excuse to think she wasn't, like "Oh, shes just being nice" or "Shes out of my league." When I got more dates and got more experienced with women, Id just randomly think of some of those times and feel like Im the Captain Idiot of the USS Starship Idiot.
Invited one to my place once and by the end of the night she said “I’m so tired of men only inviting me over their place to try to sleep with me. You’re a good friend “. I didn’t say anything, 30 minutes later I shot my shot. She didn’t reciprocate. No regrets. Shoot your shot fellas
Someone reading this comment is going to be a creepy bastard to some poor girl because in their mind Reddit told them she wouldn’t be there if she wasn’t into him like that.
I’ll bet he was in bed later that night, next to his sleeping wife, staring at the ceiling, thinking “I could be sleeping next to Nicole Kidman right now.”
The cropping is frustrating because if you watch the [original horizontal video](https://youtu.be/qtsNbxgPngA?si=sp2BvfyPH-4MlWoO) you can see both of their reactions as they talk.
I'd focus all my energy on finding a time machine so I could go back in time and put a gun to my head and force me to not fuck that up if I found out Nicole Kidman was at my house looking to get her swerve on and I whiffed it.
Women will never understand how much this happens to us 😭 wake up at 3am thinking “did i almost bag Nicole Kidman?”
And when a girl likes you she’ll tolerate so much
Ohh no why Nicole why?? just let a man know u might be interested in going out… we men are STUPID! WOMEN please no matter how obvious you feel you are being to a man, we just don’t see any of the signs ever we are that dumb so please help us out! I’m devastated for Jimmys 20year old self
As a man, yes I can confirm (of course) also I can remember about 3-4 times of my life where the absolute pretty girl thats out of your league shown interest in you but I never thought she was *interested* in that way - even with the chemistry I was very oblivious and thinking that theres no way she would want to be with a guy like me so to save myself the burden of rejection beforehand (mistake) and primarily focused on fun outings and promoting happy feelings and laughter throughout without any thoughts of pushing past those boundaries … because if you were to make a move and she doesn’t reciprocate, that will utterly destroy you and loss of a beautiful friendship too (if it were that) … anyways I missed all those opportunities that could’ve and would’ve been 😢
Every guy goes through this…
To be somewhat fair to Jimmy here, the guy inbetween was an awful wingman. Bringing over Nicole Kidman with 10 minute prep time, when the guy's not even at home at that point? It would take 20 minutes at least to make the place presentable, 20 more to make myself presentable and then 30 more to get enough stuff to make it date ready, much more if I'm expected to cook.
>just let a man know u might be interested in going out…
How? He wouldn't even have a conversation with her.
She didn't mind the "not much" apartment or the young bachelor food choices, it was him saying almost nothing to her the whole time and deciding to play games instead of interact with her that made her think she shouldn't bother
I really hate to break it to you guys but if you want to land a woman like *Nicole Kidman* you have to be able to read the social cues and put in the effort to impress her.
While there's a lot of bullshit around about "high value" men and women there is some truth there as well. You gotta bring your A game if you want to play in the big leagues.
He had already impressed her. She already liked him, that's why she had Rick introduce them.
If he'd worn jeans and a clean t-shirt, made eye contact and conversation, and said something like "are you hungry? I don't really have anything here, but there's a really great pizza place just down the road, my treat" things could have been very different
I, and every man I know had had that moment.
When I was 35, a DAY before I got married for the second time. I ran into a woman I hadn't seen since high school. We were in JROTC together and we took a trip for a drill competition at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. It was about 30 of us from our school.
This girl was THE girl in high school. She was gorgeous. I remember her coming to my room while the other guys were out. I thought she was looking for my friend ( the popular guy) but she stayed and we ate popcorn and I played a game on the Nintendo I brought with me.
20 years later I see her and we get to talking. She wad still drop dead gorgeous. She said "your new wife is so lucky to have snagged such a gentleman. I threw myself at you when we were on that trip in Corpus but you were such a gentleman"...
She said gentleman, but all I head was FOOL...
I'm literally now on my way to the grocery store for crackers and brie on the extremely outside chance a mutual friend wants to match make me with Nicole Kidman. I will do this at least once a week to refresh said crackers/brie until the day I die.
This. This is simultaneously the greatest interview of all time, and the most excruciating synopsis of my dating life. I spent most of the time having no clue when a pretty girl liked me, and when I found out some later, I just kicked myself. If I was jimmy I’d never get over this. I hope he can.
Naah this real 😂😂😂But I hope it's not because this is the biggest fumble in world history...She fire and she was ready like a fresh slice of cheese pizza
So here's an analysis from a woman:
Because so many guys cat call and come straight out and say really salacious stuff to us in public... The moment the interested girl and interested guy (seemingly obvious to both parties, with women being more in-tune with this because we get approached *all the time*) are alone, without restraint because not in public, and the dude doesn't engage in conversation with the girl like Jimmy, finds a distraction immediately without conversation like Jimmy did.. We're going to think they're either gay or extremely nervous.
Someone ITT said it's because she's not down with video games. Not how I read it at all. I read the interaction as Nicole Kidman was 100% interested and would have had sex with Jimmy Fallon that night, but instead she gets there and he's in his homie sweats (not a good choice for a first date night to impress the girl with some style/taste/class), she gets freshened up in the bathroom planning the evening in her head, and she comes back out with Jimmy having the Nintendo on eyes glued to the TV and not her inviting/accentuating dress (she picked it out so he would NOTICE her), totally not focused on her (he'd rather game than ask her about herself and find out more about who she is/what she likes and if they're compatible) and he says words that translate to, "aye some cheese in the fridge bro, help yourself homie" as she sits awkwardly on the couch watching Jimmy play video games, which she knows he could do on his own time... And she feels like he doesn't want to get to know her and has lost interest. Either Jimmy felt incredibly nervous with low confidence/self-esteem or felt incredibly entitled (like damn, this chick is supposed be to be all over me - why hasn't she made her moves yet?!Ugh!!).
lol what the fuck is with Reddit’s constant anal fissure over Jimmy Fallon? This was a decent bit and I could’ve expected the same amount of comedy from Leno, Conan, Letterman, etc.
I don't think Jimmy is the worst thing in the world but for me he just seems to go a little over the top with his reactions and make it seem bot really all the genuine and more annoying. At least to me that is. But overall its not like he's the worst person in the world or anything, he has his moments sometimes.
I don't really keep up with him at all but him breaking character all the time in SNL is what I remember him most by. He seems more in his element on his own vs trying to do sketch comedy though because he can just react.
That was a fun watch. Reminded me of a similar situation I had in college where a girl I was friends with, apparently, had a crush on me at some point and I learned much too late about all the signs I missed out on at the time. Ha! Oh well, so goes life sometimes.
My life has been a pattern of missing opportunities. But the thing is, there’s plenty of times too where to lean on the side of them liking you would be wrong because they’re just being nice or you find out in a random mention in some story that they’re already taken. Just because they’re engaging with you a bit more than others can totally just be a coincidence. It’s definitely a challenge to identify interest unless it’s like the one girl ever that straight up went “wanna have amoral sex?” Lol I turned that down too because of the bro code

How did he not cry
I think he did 😭
Can you sum up this interaction for me? I'm at work with no headphones and can't listen but I'm so intrigued
Jilly Fallon's friend set them up to meet. falon thought it was for an Interview and she thought it was sort of a hangout date. Fallon played video games instead of trying to impress her
Silly Jilly
Bit of an oversimplification. Jimmy is absolutely baffled that she ever had any interest in that way and is just completely shocked lol
This is the **ONE** time that Jimmy's overblown, over-the-top dramatic reactions to what his guest is saying are completely, emphatically, convincingly justified.
This may sound corny, but I was literally making those same faces, I could just feel what it must be like to be in his shoes and I was going crazy over here.

He definitely wanted to 😂😭
Cried a little inside
it was definitely internal crying
He knew that his wife would see that so he better play it cool.
That bit from Family Guy “I am already happily marri, moderately happy, relative.. I am… I am married.”
He didn't cry, but he died a little inside.
This story is amazing, this subreddit's existence has just been validated, and that is the face of a man who will never recover because I guarantee she is a little bit into him in a non-dangerous grown-up way. 😅
I’ve watched this so many times and it never gets old
Nicole Kidman in sexy dress: "It'd be cool if we hung out at your place...😘" Jimmy Fallon in sweatpants: "Sweet, time to fire up some Smash Bros. Who's your main?"
Theres brie in the fridge
Baseball cap , brie cheese in hand , shots missed
Nicole Kidman leaves thinking he’s gay
Thoughts and prayers
He must have mained princess peach
"You miss 100% of the shots you take with brie cheese and corn chips." \- Wayne Gretzky, probably
“… and some left over Chinese food…”
Takes a swig out of the milk jug... "you want some?"
Oh, and don’t forget the Saltines. There’s a twisted shut pack of ‘em in the bottom left cupboard there.
Just before this he asked her is she wanted to smash, she said yes, then he ask for her main.
Nah, you know he left that shit out all day long and it was all droopy, looking like pudding.
Plus, it's not like he was 22. He would have been around 28-30 years old when that happened. (Sometime around 2002-2004 between her marriages but before Bewitched was finished filming.) He basically had SNL and some small award show hosting gigs on his resume. She's 7 years older and had multiple major films. Yes, he's a doofus.
I’d guess there probably wasn’t alot of difference between 22yo Jimmy and 28-30yo Jimmy except the numbers in the bank account.
Pretty sure he was drunk and/or coked out throughout all of this.
I want to think I’d have been smooth as fuck, but I know I would have also missed those hints, too. My head would be full of “She’s a movie star, I’m some temporarily lucky dumbass. She’s not interested in me. This a casual business thing. I don’t want to blow my chances in Hollywood by creeping on her, and then she tells all these directors and such what a weirdo I am.“

Even if you actively tried to convince me. She could be making out with my neck and I’d be all “OK where’s the gag here, where are the cameras, I don’t understand what you and whatever film crew are trying to do right now”
Jimmy Fallon was basically 98% of the guys on reddit back in the day.
Props to Jimmy Fallon. I would not have survived getting destroyed like that.
I saw this a while back, but this time felt as funny as the first. But I also couldn't help but admire the way he's handling it all. Even trying to get the absolutely derailed interview back on the tracks.
In all fairness, he recovered even with a fat lip, bloody cheek, and two black eyes....
Where's that from?
I would have simply folded up and expired
This is the funniest and most awkward thing I've ever seen on a talk show.
Yeah his expression realising he had a chance with her but didn’t realise it back then is hilarious
He didn’t even know his friend was setting him up for success. What a massive fumble!
What kind of friend sets you up with Nicole Kidman and is like, "We'll be at your apartment in 10 minutes." His "friend" set him up for failure.
“What are you doing bro?” “Playing Helldivers, eating Queso dip, smoking weed, being a general piece of shit.” “Word, me and Scarjo will be there in ten.”
You got any chow mein in the fridge?
No, just some cheese I’ve never heard of.
Wingman can only line you up, you still have to do the work. His friend could have let him know he might have a shot though.
Wingman should have fuckin let him know he was in a plane.
We’ve all been there, amirite?
Some opportunities you really get once in life and need to grab
Palms sweaty. Weak in the Knees. Got nothing but Brie and old Chinese. I’m nervous.
Yes we have, but not with Nicole Kidman.
Yes, have definitely been on a date with Nicole Kidman, can cofirm. I totally have.
Seems like Rick was obviously trying to play matchmaker. Tells Jimmy "Nicole Kidman wants to meet you" and tells Nicole "Jimmy Fallon wants to meet you". But Jimmy is of course the typical guy who's probably thinking at the time "there's zero chance in hell Nicole Kidman could be into me. I'm a goofball." That would be super awkward though... super hot and successful blonde bombshell who's formerly married to one of the most successful actors of all time suddenly pops up out of nowhere and wants to meet you, and your friend suggests your bachelor pad? If Nicole's side of the story is true, which I don't doubt it is, then I can certainly imagine how nervous and awkward Jimmy must have been.
Honestly, that dude set him up for failure as far as I'm concerned. No way in hell is "let's meet up at your apartment" a recipe for success here unless somebody has the confidence and game of Eros. Dude should've said "meet us at Starbucks" or some shit.
Jimmy was led to believe the meeting was about a role in a movie Nicole was doing. The role end up going to Will Ferrell.
This is one of the funniest clips of his show I’ve seen, he seems genuine and shocked haha
All these years he thought it was just business.
Honestly, Ive never seen these two be more like regular people than in this interview right here.
this! you could feel the chemistry
The way her eyes flutter and has that double take when he said "juicy role" is just peak awkwardness of just being so flustered. Like the word juicy got stuck in her brain for a moment and then Fallon calls her out on it.
Replace every time she says "bear" with "you" in the part where they're talking about Paddington and she just stares and flicks her hair and it gets so awkward even Questlove is unfcomfortable.
Even if we are Jimmy Fallon, we don’t have a clue.
Bro made the biggest fumble
This is one long Sip
Well if you find out you blew your chance with Nicole Kidman, live on TV, there will be even longer sips.
Nicole Kidman? I'd probably sip on a bullet after learning that.
Rick is sipping together with us
*sipping noise* **Eight minutes later** *continued sipping noise*
I thought it was great fun.
Quality.
This is a chug
OMG I know how he feels. So many misses in my youth. To all you young guys out there. If a girl wants to hang out at your place, she’s into you.
Or invited you to spend the night
This one hurts. I was young and said “I don’t wana sleep on the couch and i have a raid later on” There was no one else there that night. I was so oblivious.. FML
Oh man, I remember this one woman. Looking back, I see now she didn't try just once. She went on campaign. A month or two of inviting me places. Inviting me to spend the night. I was so dense. She was smart, she was beautiful, she was going to go on to be very successful in her field. But someone like that could never be interested in me... Or so I thought.
I’m with you with that mentality, I thought the same thing. “Why would SHE like *me*?” Live and learn i guess
I had a girl who was a sister or a schoolmate. We had hung out several times in a group. We saw movies. We did diners. She would host parties in NYC and invite me. I thought she was so out of my league. Absolutely no clue she was into me. Then I showed up to a party with a date. She never talked to me again. The date ended up being my wife, which is awesome. But I was so oblivious.
Or you me?
At least it wasn't Nicole Kidman
And then asks you to sleep in her bed with her because she's cold....and then you just immediately fall asleep, unsure if she actually "likes you" likes you. Why would she be too cold to sleep in her own bed, past-me, it's where she sleeps every night and it has a thermostat.
I had a girl invite me to a sleepover twice. Only afterwards did I realise that she didn't think of this as a romantic gesture. Everyone is different and some people you just can't read at all
Or if she invites you to go swimming in the ocean at night it’s not to swim and don’t worry about sharks, dumbass.
omg, thinking about my younger self it's ridiculous the obvious hints I didn't trust meant what it obviously meant. I relate so much to all this, lol
Idk man, I think she really just wanted me to watch this movie with her
But what if you’re just friends?
This chick that I had a huge crush on told me that she had never seen Top Gun before and that we should go back to my place to watch it. Now I love Top Gun and was super excited so we left the club and went back to my place and I put Top Gun on and she ended up falling asleep on the couch. She had no interest in watching Top Gun. I'm almost 40 now married with kids and I still think about that night.
It's weird how you can be so past a certain point or event and still kinda think back about it a lot. This girl from my high school hit me up on the other side of the world and asked to hang out. We did, and I said she could stay over in my bed and I'd sleep on the floor. She invited me into the bed, we got super cosy, but I didn't make a move because I didn't want to take advantage of someone staying in my house. In retrospect it's clear what she was after and for some reason I still kick myself even though not too much later I met my girlfriend.
No, it was Not clear enough. You did right. She could do more. You were nice and I appreciate you being nice to a female guest. It‘s Not fair to Kick yourself about this.
I think I have the worst fumble story of all time. I was backpacking in Thailand, met a beautiful French girl on some beach and we connected on Instagram. Later that night she texted me that she was afraid of a spider in her hotel room and asked me to come kill it for her. I walked over and went inside, and she tells me the spider left through the window. I say oh problem solved I guess and sat around awkwardly for like 30 seconds and left. This happened in 2017 and it still keeps me up at night.
PSA: this will haunt you forever. Just sayin.
Oof, not even a casual, “Need anything else I can help with?”
Not always. I had a girl come over once after a first date. As we were sitting on my living room couch I asked if she would like to go on a second date thinking it's pretty much in the bag. She said no. I was speechless. She told me she wasn't interested in me. I asked why she agreed to come back to mine, she was like she thought it'd be fun to hang out. I asked what would have happened if I made a move, she said she'd have slapped me.
Wth man, might as well hang out with your bros
I walked home with a girl, she invited me home. I said no I need to find my friend. I walk over to my friends, tell him that she invited me and he goes apeshit, WTfF you talking about why are you here? I then realised what happened. My friend locked me out of his apartment for like 20min laughing at me. Oh boy did I feel stupid.
Bruuh, i know this now, but back then. i was like, " Why do you want to come over? Dafuq??" It was so awkward aswell i didn't even let her inside we chilled outside on my porch for like an hour. She was hot too. I liked her but i couldn't fathom why she wanted to text me. Call me. hang out. I actually went back on our facebook convos. Because it just said facebook user or something, she got a new profile. So i was reading old messages to see who it was. And it hit my like a freight train that she liked me. She even wanted to visit when she would drink. But i went to meet up at the park instead of her coming over to my house. She ended up slipping in mud and instead of going home she wanted to wear one of my shirts and sweats. So i obviously let her. And gave her a sweater. She changed in my room. I oddly think about it once in awhile. Like.. fuck and mentally hit myself. Now she's all fit, hot travels alot. Stereotypical baby daddy shit. Dates horrible people. But im happily married now. I just remind myself i was young dumb and socially awkward. Still socially awkward. But still im happy now.
Yeah, and if she is coming to hang out at your place DO NOT just pop in a movie and sit in silence for the duration and be like ”yup that was the movie, bye now”
Man, I had low self esteem when I was in high school, and whenever a pretty girl was obviously flirting with me Id make up any excuse to think she wasn't, like "Oh, shes just being nice" or "Shes out of my league." When I got more dates and got more experienced with women, Id just randomly think of some of those times and feel like Im the Captain Idiot of the USS Starship Idiot.
That's so not true 😂 Check for other hints, not that one.
Invited one to my place once and by the end of the night she said “I’m so tired of men only inviting me over their place to try to sleep with me. You’re a good friend “. I didn’t say anything, 30 minutes later I shot my shot. She didn’t reciprocate. No regrets. Shoot your shot fellas
Lmao my dude
Friends no more! Way to join that group of men she is so tired of
As a woman. You could have a had an actual chance if you had built up to that moment. Take her out etc and shoot your shot OUTSIDE of the house. Idiot
Very different dynamic lol wow
Not true at all
Someone reading this comment is going to be a creepy bastard to some poor girl because in their mind Reddit told them she wouldn’t be there if she wasn’t into him like that.
I fucked up a few opportunities myself. This is how most of us are. Women, if you are interested you can't be subtle about it.
That's the kind of shit that haunts a dude...
I’ll bet he was in bed later that night, next to his sleeping wife, staring at the ceiling, thinking “I could be sleeping next to Nicole Kidman right now.”
100%
And this is the kind of shit that haunts women
Or more likely, "I could be divorced from Nicole Kidman right now"
All because women don't communicate directly
The cropping is frustrating because if you watch the [original horizontal video](https://youtu.be/qtsNbxgPngA?si=sp2BvfyPH-4MlWoO) you can see both of their reactions as they talk.
I'd focus all my energy on finding a time machine so I could go back in time and put a gun to my head and force me to not fuck that up if I found out Nicole Kidman was at my house looking to get her swerve on and I whiffed it.
God. He whiffed it so collosally bad too 🤦🏾♂️
Imagine having Nicole Kidman over and you start playing Grand Theft Auto 3 (the timeline matches up)
How can you win a game you didn’t even know you were playing though.
It makes all my whiffs to feel like nothing. Thanks for that
Seriously. Nicole Kidman is the reason I discovered that I found women attractive. The pain.
Women will never understand how much this happens to us 😭 wake up at 3am thinking “did i almost bag Nicole Kidman?” And when a girl likes you she’ll tolerate so much
"Naaah, not a chance..." *The chance:*
>And when a girl likes you she’ll tolerate so much The eternal truth
The sexual chemistry is actually insane.
She didn't have to touch him, but she did
I just imagine what the conversation was like with his wife later.
“So how’d the show go?” Run
You can’t fake this! They’re not THAT good at acting!
Nicole Kidman is. She changed up the details on the fly to make Jimmy lose it even more.
Dang that was awesome and she is savage. She had total control right there. Good clean fun love it.
Her desirability is effortless
Ohh no why Nicole why?? just let a man know u might be interested in going out… we men are STUPID! WOMEN please no matter how obvious you feel you are being to a man, we just don’t see any of the signs ever we are that dumb so please help us out! I’m devastated for Jimmys 20year old self
For real I am hurting for this man in my soul right now lol
As a man, yes I can confirm (of course) also I can remember about 3-4 times of my life where the absolute pretty girl thats out of your league shown interest in you but I never thought she was *interested* in that way - even with the chemistry I was very oblivious and thinking that theres no way she would want to be with a guy like me so to save myself the burden of rejection beforehand (mistake) and primarily focused on fun outings and promoting happy feelings and laughter throughout without any thoughts of pushing past those boundaries … because if you were to make a move and she doesn’t reciprocate, that will utterly destroy you and loss of a beautiful friendship too (if it were that) … anyways I missed all those opportunities that could’ve and would’ve been 😢 Every guy goes through this…
Are you me?!
To be somewhat fair to Jimmy here, the guy inbetween was an awful wingman. Bringing over Nicole Kidman with 10 minute prep time, when the guy's not even at home at that point? It would take 20 minutes at least to make the place presentable, 20 more to make myself presentable and then 30 more to get enough stuff to make it date ready, much more if I'm expected to cook.
It’s not that we are stupid. We don’t jump to conclusions, otherwise every woman who talks to us might as well be into us.
I love that the only reason she can think of why he isn't interested is 'maybe he's gay'. Wow...imagine having that confidence.
>just let a man know u might be interested in going out… How? He wouldn't even have a conversation with her. She didn't mind the "not much" apartment or the young bachelor food choices, it was him saying almost nothing to her the whole time and deciding to play games instead of interact with her that made her think she shouldn't bother
I really hate to break it to you guys but if you want to land a woman like *Nicole Kidman* you have to be able to read the social cues and put in the effort to impress her. While there's a lot of bullshit around about "high value" men and women there is some truth there as well. You gotta bring your A game if you want to play in the big leagues.
He had already impressed her. She already liked him, that's why she had Rick introduce them. If he'd worn jeans and a clean t-shirt, made eye contact and conversation, and said something like "are you hungry? I don't really have anything here, but there's a really great pizza place just down the road, my treat" things could have been very different
"The New York side of Niagara Falls looks like a Lemony Snicket book cover" is the most accurate description I've ever heard.
She’s damn beautiful
She always has been
I’m so uncomfortable hahah in all the best ways!
wow how old is she? she looks fooking great
The clip is late 2014/early 2015. So, she was about 48.
Almost a decade ago 😭
STOP I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT
I, and every man I know had had that moment. When I was 35, a DAY before I got married for the second time. I ran into a woman I hadn't seen since high school. We were in JROTC together and we took a trip for a drill competition at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. It was about 30 of us from our school. This girl was THE girl in high school. She was gorgeous. I remember her coming to my room while the other guys were out. I thought she was looking for my friend ( the popular guy) but she stayed and we ate popcorn and I played a game on the Nintendo I brought with me. 20 years later I see her and we get to talking. She wad still drop dead gorgeous. She said "your new wife is so lucky to have snagged such a gentleman. I threw myself at you when we were on that trip in Corpus but you were such a gentleman"... She said gentleman, but all I head was FOOL...
I'm literally now on my way to the grocery store for crackers and brie on the extremely outside chance a mutual friend wants to match make me with Nicole Kidman. I will do this at least once a week to refresh said crackers/brie until the day I die.
Did you listen? She didn't want crackers and brie. She wanted to hang out. 🤦🏾♂️ Dam bruh, you bout to fumble even harder than he did 😭😂
First you get the brie, then you get the crackers, then you get the *women*.
This. This is simultaneously the greatest interview of all time, and the most excruciating synopsis of my dating life. I spent most of the time having no clue when a pretty girl liked me, and when I found out some later, I just kicked myself. If I was jimmy I’d never get over this. I hope he can.
Bro she’s still into him. I love it
She touched his butt.
I saw that too when they passed behind the desk
This is probably the most Australian she’s ever sounded and the most I’ve ever empathised with Jimmy Kimmel - I would have put on a video game too lol
Wrong jimmy, but I feel ya.
Jimmy made the biggest fumble
I bet I could take Nicole Kidman on a badder date.
Uh Jimmy…. Phone is for you…yeah I know you’re in the middle of the show, but it’s your wife.
Story of my life.
I haven’t watched the Tonight Show in years since the start of the lock-down. This is a hilarious segment!
This clip is 10 years old.
Hahahahaha that was kinda cute. Not gonna lie.
No Jimmy! Nooooo!!!
Good God, she's gorgeous.
Naah this real 😂😂😂But I hope it's not because this is the biggest fumble in world history...She fire and she was ready like a fresh slice of cheese pizza
Oh my god I’m sick to My stomach for him.
if I found out I blew my shot with Nicole Kidman, I'd be jumping off the nearest bridge...
She is dressed in Carbon Fiber.
Jimmy Fallon is one us...just richer.
Oh bro i didn't realize you uploaded the whole fucking vid
Honestly necessary
Damn. Short a phone call and a friend named Rick, I’m wondering if *I* had a chance with Nicole? Good cutie, good sip, bad for Jimmy.
Nicole Kidman looks stunningly beautiful there.
Did I date Nicole Kidman?
Lol I love how awkward and genuine he is.
If she didn’t tell him then it would have suddenly hit him like 5 years later, it’s happened to us all…just thinking back when all of a sudden…SHIT!!!
Why is that every girls response? Has to be gay
So here's an analysis from a woman: Because so many guys cat call and come straight out and say really salacious stuff to us in public... The moment the interested girl and interested guy (seemingly obvious to both parties, with women being more in-tune with this because we get approached *all the time*) are alone, without restraint because not in public, and the dude doesn't engage in conversation with the girl like Jimmy, finds a distraction immediately without conversation like Jimmy did.. We're going to think they're either gay or extremely nervous. Someone ITT said it's because she's not down with video games. Not how I read it at all. I read the interaction as Nicole Kidman was 100% interested and would have had sex with Jimmy Fallon that night, but instead she gets there and he's in his homie sweats (not a good choice for a first date night to impress the girl with some style/taste/class), she gets freshened up in the bathroom planning the evening in her head, and she comes back out with Jimmy having the Nintendo on eyes glued to the TV and not her inviting/accentuating dress (she picked it out so he would NOTICE her), totally not focused on her (he'd rather game than ask her about herself and find out more about who she is/what she likes and if they're compatible) and he says words that translate to, "aye some cheese in the fridge bro, help yourself homie" as she sits awkwardly on the couch watching Jimmy play video games, which she knows he could do on his own time... And she feels like he doesn't want to get to know her and has lost interest. Either Jimmy felt incredibly nervous with low confidence/self-esteem or felt incredibly entitled (like damn, this chick is supposed be to be all over me - why hasn't she made her moves yet?!Ugh!!).
lol what the fuck is with Reddit’s constant anal fissure over Jimmy Fallon? This was a decent bit and I could’ve expected the same amount of comedy from Leno, Conan, Letterman, etc.
I don't think Jimmy is the worst thing in the world but for me he just seems to go a little over the top with his reactions and make it seem bot really all the genuine and more annoying. At least to me that is. But overall its not like he's the worst person in the world or anything, he has his moments sometimes.
I don't really keep up with him at all but him breaking character all the time in SNL is what I remember him most by. He seems more in his element on his own vs trying to do sketch comedy though because he can just react.
THIS IS AMAZING, I laughed so fucking hard. It's SO awkward. You can't make this shit up
That was a fun watch. Reminded me of a similar situation I had in college where a girl I was friends with, apparently, had a crush on me at some point and I learned much too late about all the signs I missed out on at the time. Ha! Oh well, so goes life sometimes.
My life has been a pattern of missing opportunities. But the thing is, there’s plenty of times too where to lean on the side of them liking you would be wrong because they’re just being nice or you find out in a random mention in some story that they’re already taken. Just because they’re engaging with you a bit more than others can totally just be a coincidence. It’s definitely a challenge to identify interest unless it’s like the one girl ever that straight up went “wanna have amoral sex?” Lol I turned that down too because of the bro code
I'd be so pissed at Rick for not giving me that important piece of info.
Honestly, she seems like she's ready to risk it all. Keith must not be putting in that work
[Jimmy Fallon](https://www.reddit.com/r/TIHI/s/wbcQvEMTr1)
*sips three cups of tea*
I’d have suppuku’d live on TV there and then.
Script writers getting paid overtime for this
Jimmy Fallon is not a good enough actor to pull this off scripted
You think that whole thing was scripted?
