On Wednesday night’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” host Jimmy Fallon gave his best Nathan Fielder impersonation while guest Jamie Lee Curtis played Elizabeth Holmes to parody the popular A24 documentary, “You Can See Everything.”
“Now be honest. Do you really want to be on the show tonight?” Fallon asks, doing his best Fielder impersonation. “Of course I do. I love talking to you,” Curtis responded in his best Holmes voice while donning a blonde wig and looking deep into the late-night host’s eyes. “So you’re not just here to promote your new show. ‘Newlyweds’?” “No, I engage with you as a human being,” Curtis said. “Why should I cheat on you? I have no reason to do this. I have nothing to cheat on you with.”
“Good conversation,” Fallon concluded, but not before one final question: “Are you real right now?” “I’m still real,” Curtis replied. As Fallon leaves, she shouts, “Thank God! What a fucking asshole!”
As mentioned in the cold open, Curtis was on the show to promote “Newlyweds,” his new sitcom on NBC which premiered October 23. The show’s logline, starring Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, describes it as “a later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who impetuously marry after a whirlwind courtship.”
Curtis will appear on the series in a recurring guest star role and also co-created it with Gail Lerner, who was fired from the series earlier this month over “creative differences.” In Lerner’s statement when the news broke, she described her experience working on the series as “the most joyful television experience of my life.”
“You Can See Everything,” which debuted in theaters earlier this month on October 16, was a critical and box office success, where it has already grossed $45.1 million domestically to date. Outfielder and co-director Lance Oppenheim quietly worked on the film for more than three years, which offers an unhinged look at the Theranos founder a month before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors.
