Jimmy Fallon Blew a Chance to Date Nicole Kidman

I don't know if you remember this,
but we've met before.

Oh, I remember.

Do you remember this?
It was really embarrassing for me.

Yes.

- It was?
- Yeah!

- Do you want me to tell --
- I have not seen you since then.

I have not! That is correct.
- Right? No.

But this is years ago, and I

-- do you want me to tell
my version of the story?

Yeah, you tell your version.

I'm walking down the street,
in New York City,

- Yeah.
- My friend Rick calls me and says,

"Dude, what are you doing?"

I go, "I'm just walking down the street."

He goes, "I have
Nicole Kidman with me,

and she wants to meet you for, uh,

maybe, to be in Bewitched
or something like that".

So I go, "Wha-? OK."

And he goes, "I can be at your apartment
in like ten minutes."

I go, "You're going to bring Nicole Kidman
over to my apartment?"

I'm like, "OK, I don't know, what do I do?

What, do I have something?
What do I do?"

He goes, I dunno, just get some
cheese and crackers or something,

And I'm like,
"Cheese and crackers!

I don't have dinner parties.

I don't have anyone
over to my house,

I'm like, I have video games
and sneakers.

That's right!

So I go and, I go, there's a deli,
and I go in the deli.

I go, "What do you mean, cheese?"

He goes, "Get Brie or something."

I go, "Brie?" I didn't even know
what that is, I'm like, "Uh ..."

So I go in this --
I'm on Saturday Night Live, I guess,

or something, I don't remember,
really, when it was --

I just remember I liked you
and he was like --

Not now.

I'm married now.

Um, but he was like,
"Oh, well you can meet --"

I mean I don’t…

- What?!
- Not that way!

Wait, wait, what's going on?

Wait, what?

So he said --

So Rick,
our mutual friend, says,

"Oh, you know Jimmy wants to meet you,

and you can go over to his apartment,
and dadadada ..."

and I'm single, and I'm like,
"OK, yeah, cool!"

- Wait, what?!
- Yes!

- What?!? are you talking about?
- Yes!

Did I date Nicole Kidman?
Did we go out on a date?

So I go over, thou,
and you're there in a baseball cap,

and like, nothing.
Just like --

- I had Brie cheese!
- I was like,

and you wouldn't talk,
you didn't say anything!

You were like,
"Hey. Mm. Mm. Mm."

Do you?

- I didn’t mm, mm, mm,
- You wen’t mm, mm, mm

I was really nervous,
I didn’t say mm, mm, mm.

- And I like… ok, so
- I didn't know this was a thing!

- I thought this was a movie
- It was like a hang,

it was meant to just,
I dunno.

And then you put a video game on
or something --

and I'm like,
"This is so bad."

It was bad.

I swear, and you
didn't talk at all!

And so after about
an hour and a half,

I thought, "He has no interest.
This is so embarrassing."

I had no clue at all!

And I left, and went,
OK, no chemistry.

And then I was like, maybe he's gay.

C'mon!!

Don't say... OK I'm outta here,
take care.

OK, now I'm gonna do the show!

- So tell me, Jimmy.
- Well, doctor,

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Nicole Kidman walked
in my apartment --

That was our date.

Do you remember what the apartment
looked like?

Like, not much.

Anyway, we weren't meant to be, right?

Wow, did you make a good decision.

- Stop, you did.
- You made a great, fantastic decision.

- You didn't!
- Oh my gosh!

Anyway. It was like that.

Oh my god!
I am in shock right now!

But now, so nice,
we're both married with kids.

Yeah! I can't believe
I dated Nicole Kidman!

- This is fantastic!
-You didn't!

This is unbelievable!
Unbelievable.

It was one of the most
awkward moments ever.

Yeah. You're red!

I really am! I'm in shock!
- So am I!

I can't believe it...
you're definitely embarrassed!

Yeah, I mean, wow, my gosh!
Are you friends with Rick any more?

- Yes, I just saw him!
- No, we don't talk to him after that.

He's adorable!

You made a much better decision.

Keith Urban is so much
cooler than I am.

- He's a rock star...
- Stop.

- …you live in Nashville right now.
- I do, yes.

He's always on tour, isn't he,
constantly, like ...

Yes, these country guys --
yes, he's always on tour --

No...
You're not trying to be all serious!

No, I'm trying to be serious now.

- Look, here's the deal:
- Yeah...

I'm not always on tour.
I'm always at home.

- Hanging out, kids ...

You’re working all the time.
So… ok, so what we…

Did he not just play a gig
New Year's Eve, right?

He did, in Niagara Falls.

- Yeah. Niagara Falls.

The Canada side or the New York side?

- Um, the Canada side.

- That's the side.
- Beautiful.

The Canada side is like lights,
and it's almost like Vegas, it's fun.

is fun,
and the New York side,

is like a Lemony Snicket book cover, like,

sad, with all the trees with no leaves on it.

And you go, What happened?

Why is that side so much worse?

Canada side, that's the place to do it.

- Yeah,
- It's amazing.

we gotta work on
that side of Niagara Falls.

- Yeah, they do,
- So, where is the place...?

...I’ve never been to the New York side.

Oh, is just pfft, please, you don’t…

But we will fix it up.
But… where is it he played?

He played a big show there
for about 60,000 people.

Have you ever been to
Niagara Falls?

I had before.

We can't even have a conversation.

You're feeling a little something, yeah.

Oh come on.
I’M NOOOT!!!

A little chemistry now.
But it's too late, baby!

Ship has sailed, OK Nicole?

Taken, OK?
I'm taken, OK?

I'm just kidding, just kidding.

- This is hilarious…
- I can't believe this.

- I am never coming on this show again.
- No, come on! Come on!

You've gotta ... they're feeling it!
This is fantastic!

- I'm teasing you.
- And we love Keith.

We love Keith.

- I, love Keith!
- He's been on the show.

I know you love Keith more than I do.

I'm not saying I have a thing
for Keith Urban.

I'm saying I enjoy his music...

...and I like him...

We're now fighting over Keith.
... I like him as a personality.

I don't have a --

-Only one of us here is in love with Keith

- This is a disaster!
- No, it's not a disaster.

Uh, but he's always been on the show,

- And you've never been on the show.
- No.

Is this why?
- Absolutely.

So odd!

No, I just, we would watch you at home,
and I'd be like, "Gosh,

will I ever go on that show
and bring that story up?

Hm, maybe not.
And you did!

- And now I did!
Anyway, let's talk about Paddington.

This is the best day ever, man.
This is like a great day.

Let's talk about Paddington.

Paddington, congrats already,

it's a big hit already.
Internationally, right?

- Yes.
- Overseas.

They released it overseas first.

Horror.

Yeah. I remember I got Brie cheese ...

And corn chips!

Corn chips? I didn't get...

Did I get corn chips?

Yeah!
And some old Chinese food.

How could I buy old Chinese food?

It was in the fridge.

It was in the fridge. It probably was.

Really there was nothing there.

See, I've got a good memory.

Oh my god, I remember I got
saltine crackers,

Uh, it’s just really awful…
I didn't know.

And what sport did you really like?
Was it Baseball, or something ...

What sport I was into?
What hat was I wearing?

Yeah, you were wearing some baseball cap.

I love that you remember I was
wearing a baseball hat. Cool, man.

And some sweats.

I was not wearing sweatpants!
What are you talking about?

It's like you went over to, like,
Duck Dynasty guy's house, or something.

I was not wearing
camo sweatpants.

I was dressed in a ...
probably in a three-piece suit or something ...

You weren't interested,
so you wore sweats...

and a baseball cap.

That's not true! I don't even
know what you're talking about!

Now I'm like freaking out.

All right.
I'm gonna go back to Paddington.

- We're gonna edit this out.
- Yeah.

The bear. The little adorable bear.
- The bear.

- It's a cute bear.
- It's a cute bear.

It's a cute movie.

- You play the villain in the movie.
- I do.

That's a good juicy role.
- Yep.

[Jimmy] Did you always want to play --
what?

Can't even talk to you now!

I mean you can't even say, you're
stuttering and stuff.

- Yeah.
- You're so nervous.

Only because you make me laugh now.

I make you laugh, yeah.

I always made you laugh.

All right, so let's talk about it.
Hugh Bonneville.

- My man Hugh Bonneville.
- So funny.

Love him. Downton Abbey,..
We love him.

So funny.
And there's a CGI bear.

And of course
everyone knows the books.

But the bear does have
the most beautiful eyes.

- No, he does!
- Yeah! He does!

Why are you laughing?
Everybody...

Everyone's feeling the
sexual chemistry here...

There is none.

And it's awkward, and it's just odd.

Wanna play Mario Brothers?

I'll show you my new Nintendo.

That's pretty cool.

I can't believe that's real, that story.
