Jimmy Fallon eats a cricket after losing ‘Tonight Show’ game to Kevin Hart
Jimmy Fallon’s gag reflex has had a tough week. First he swallowed warm, freshly-squeezed cow’s milk, and on Tuesday’s Tonight Show, crickets were the dish du jour.
Kevin Hart joined the late night host for a game of Would You Rather, in which each player tries to guess what the majority of the audience would do in a given scenario.
The star of the new Jumanji movie and Ellen DeGeneres' recent co-host took this game very seriously, conducting audience analysis – “This doesn’t look like an audience that wants to sing. You guys look like a bunch of people that need to escape” – and asking thorough follow-up questions – “Wait, if I had a clone of myself, does he get to do the bad things that I wish I could do that I can’t do?” In the Scripps National Spelling Bee, Hart would be the kid who asks for both the word’s origin and that it be used in a sentence.
The comic correctly guessed the audience’s preference in the Final Dilemma round, making him the winner of this face off.
At the “loser’s table” Fallon got to pick his punishment – either hold worms for 10 seconds with his bare hands or eat a cricket. R.I.P. Jiminy!
