Jimmy Fallon Is The Happiest He’s Over Been: On James McAvoy’s Shoulders


Jimmy Fallon has had one of the most entertaining weeks of The Tonight Show in 2015 this week. With guests like Daniel Radcliffe, James McAvoy, and The Undertaker, this week has left Fallon’s fans more than satisfied.

On Tuesday, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show along with his freshly bald head. The 26-year-old actor is currently promoting his new movie directed by Daniel Ragussis, Imperium, in which he plays a government agent, as reported by Us Magazine.

But Radcliffe arrived not only to promote the movie, but also to play celebrity talk show games with Jimmy Fallon. This time, Daniel was faced with the game of Water War, in which he, well, got totally soaked.

It was starting out fine for the Harry Potter star: he won the first round and was delighted to pour a glass of water over the talk show host’s head. The following round, Radcliffe got soaked for the first time, but then he, once again, was “on fire,” soaking Jimmy Fallon time after time.

And when Jimmy Fallon and Radcliffe got the same card by coincidence, the show’s host declared war. But the Harry Potter star was once again on a roll, pulling a better card and soaking Fallon’s head with water.

But then, suddenly, bad luck started chasing the British actor’s tail, and Fallon got his revenge by pouring a glass of water onto Radcliffe’s lap. Radcliffe then revealed his secret to the audience.

“For the record I’m going to a premiere later, and I don’t think I bought any other underwear!”

In the final round, Jimmy Fallon got to completely destroy Radcliffe’s clothes by water cannoning him. You can watch the full video on The Tonight Show‘s official website.

But Jimmy Fallon had more than just the hilarious Water War planned for Daniel Radcliffe, which is why the Harry Potter star was invited to make a surprise appearance at the end of the host’s monologue, as reported by E! Online.

Jimmy Fallon was forced to do the Gangnam Style dance during his monologue after Radcliffe commanded him to do so. The Tonight Show host started his monologue with a joke.

“South Korea is building a giant monument to the song ‘Gangnam Style,’ which will feature two overlapping wrists, a signature move of the ‘Gangnam Style’ dance.”

Audience members, with the help of Daniel Radcliffe, then forced Jimmy Fallon to do the dance himself. You can watch Jimmy Fallon dancing Gangnam Style here.

The next day, on Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon had fun with another actor who appeared with his freshly bald head – James McAvoy. The 36-year-old actor, promoting his film Victor Frankenstein, gave Jimmy Fallon a ride on his shoulders, as reported by Time.

With his new hairstyle, which McAvoy calls a “neo-fascist” haircut, the Scottish actor told Jimmy Fallon that his son is crazy about his spiky head.

“My wife likes it… my kid likes it, well, when he’s on my shoulders he quite likes it because he can rub his hands through it. He thinks it’s spiky and for some reason he gets a tactile pleasure out of it. Would you like to try?”

Jimmy Fallon responded by asking whether McAvoy’s shoulders could hold him. Then the show’s host climbed on his desk to get on McAvoy’s shoulders and feel his hair. You can watch this hilarious bit here.

On Wednesday evening, The Undertaker, the wrestling icon — who will mark 25 years with WWE later this month at Survivor Series— made a surprise appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, according to Rolling Stone.

During the show’s suggestion box segment, one of the suggestions asked Jimmy Fallon to have The Undertaker come out and Tombstone a guy in a turkey outfit. And well, Fallon managed to pull it off.
