Ever since Jimmy Fallon took over The Tonight Show<\/a> in 2014 after Jay Leno<\/a> retired, he\u2019s brought his own brand of fun. From writing thank you notes<\/a> to the oddest things to his viral lip-synch battles, Fallon has turned the late-night show into a playground of fun and humor, featuring sketches that harken back to his early SNL days<\/a>. The talented host apparently even endears himself to celebrity guests so much that when they’ve visited his show, they’ve told him how their movies are \u201cso bad.\u201d<\/p>\n I’ve watched The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a> amid the 2025 TV schedule<\/a>, and I really enjoy his segment involving movie spoofs. Fallon has never been one to shy away from involving guests to spoof their own movies, like when he and Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a> recreated her iconic aerobics scene from Perfect<\/a> or when Michael Keaton reenacting his Birdman scenes<\/a> rewritten by kids. The Primetime Emmy winner admitted to Forbes<\/a> that behind the scenes, though, celebrities have even gone as far as to trash their own flicks while talking to him:<\/p>\n I\u2019ve had guests on where they\u2019re, like, \u2018I hope you didn\u2019t see this movie, it\u2019s so bad.\u2019 I\u2019ll just be, like, \u2018We don\u2019t have to get into details. There\u2019s always something good about every project.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve got to give Jimmy Fallon credit for his optimism. Given how entertaining his talk show is and all of the hilariously memorable lines<\/a> he delivers, I\u2019m sure he’s always able to find the hilarity in even the most panned movies. I have a hunch that even if a celebrity guest warns Fallon off one of their films, he\u2019ll probably watch it anyway whether to form an opinion for himself or simply to find humorous material for his show.<\/p>\n In general, fans may be surprised how many A-listers have admitted they\u2019ve hated their own movies<\/a>. A popular example would be Halle Berry hating on Catwoman<\/a> after the critics did. (Berry even gave a funny Razzies speech after<\/a> winning her Worst Actress Award.) Viola Davis<\/a> has also constantly talked about regretting her role in The Help<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most recently, Dakota Johnson said she doesn\u2019t plan on seeing Madame Web<\/a>, saying she wasn\u2019t surprised that it got \u201cripped to shreds\u201d by critics.<\/a> I suppose a person has to appreciate the fact that some stars can be honest with themselves about their work and in turn, have no problem with Jimmy Fallon lampooning said movies as he sees fit.<\/p>\n I honestly wish I could be a fly on the wall when those actors speak to Fallon about the movies they’re not so proud of. Still, whether an actor likes their film or not, that doesn’t keep a devoted fan from like not only the film but the spoofs on The Tonight Show just fine.<\/p>\n See Jimmy Fallon bring laughs and celebrity fun when The Tonight Show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET\/10:35 p.m. CT on NBC. New episodes are also available for next-day streaming with a Peacock subscription<\/a> and can be accessed with a YouTube TV subscription as well.<\/p>\n
