Ben Stiller proved that he possesses one of comedy’s quickest wits on Thursday night during a “Tonight Show” “Emotional Interview” with Jimmy Fallon.
The duo ran the gamut from “Overly Polite” to “Extreme Sexual Tension,” and Stiller nailed all random producer prompts, which were indicated by a dinging bell and new displayed emotion to portray. That’s not to say that Fallon didn’t hold his own — he certainly did — but this game went to the “Night at the Museum” star.
In addition to being the setup man and the punchline, Fallon did what he does best — broke up in genuine laughter throughout the panel segment. He also fulfilled his hosting duties, letting his guest score.
During the “nosy” round, Stiller asked Fallon what he weighs these days, who pays for his driver, and if he’s “regular.”
When “Ben Thinks Jimmy Is a Spy” flashed onto the screen, Stiller quickly switched bases. “Let me ask you something else, do you love your country?” he posed.
The sexual tension that the two ended on was too much for Fallon to take, drawing the buzzer.
Stiller recently announced “Zoolander 2” during Paris Fashion Week.
