Jimmy Fallon Has Jodie Foster Wipe Egg Off His Face

Jimmy Fallon had egg all over his face last Monday night. But that wasn’t the only highlight of the episode of The Tonight Show, as Fallon and Jodie Foster made fun of actor veteran Robert De Niro, according to Time.

It’s no secret that De Niro doesn’t talk much during his interviews. And this fact became the subject of jokes on Jimmy Fallon’s late-night talk show on Monday. In fact, the 41-year-old host admitted that it was “a baptism of fire” having the Taxi Driver actor as the first ever guest on the talk show.

Foster added to Jimmy Fallon’s comments about De Niro, saying that when working with the Oscar-winning actor on the set of Taxi Driver, he rehearsed his lines with her and then just stared at her. It’s especially hilarious given that Foster was only 13 at the time.

But discussing De Niro’s creepiness wasn’t the only thing Foster and Jimmy Fallon did during Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show. The Silence of the Lambs actress is surely fun to be around, and she proved it during a game called Egg Russian Roulette, according to CDA News.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has had many of its guests play Egg Russian Roulette. According to the game’s rules, each player picks an egg from a carton that contains eight hard-boiled and four raw eggs and cracks it on their head.

And the player that first smashes two raw egg loses. The segment started with Jimmy Fallon’s sidekick Steve Higgins making funny voices and telling Foster to go first. Foster picked an egg from the carton held in Higgins’ hands and tried to distract herself by asking Fallon if he knew what her company was called.

Smashing the egg on her head, Foster said her company’s name was Egg Pictures. And the Taxi Driver actress was the first to pick a raw egg. But Foster wasn’t discouraged by losing the first round, making a joke that she needed avocado and some coconut oil to make a hair mask. Jimmy Fallon then replied that she could make an omelet by the end of the game.

Now it was Jimmy Fallon’s turn to either get hit in the head by a boiled egg or have an egg yolk running down his face and hair. The host was very confident the egg he picked was hard-boiled but turned out he was wrong. The chances of losing were now equal.

And it felt like Foster was still under the influence of Mother’s Day, only a day earlier, when the actress helped Jimmy Fallon clean his face off. It really looked like Fallon was her young son who got his face covered with food.

Now the next person to smash a raw egg on their head would lose. But after Foster and Jimmy Fallon smashed a couple of hard-boiled eggs on their heads, the audience couldn’t wait to see some egg yolk dripping down someone’s face.

And when there were only three eggs left in the carton, Jimmy Fallon was getting nervous. He even started counting in Spanish in the hopes to find a hard-boiled egg, but this didn’t turn out to be a helpful game plan. So the game ended with egg yolk running down Jimmy Fallon’s face. The audience liked the way Fallon and Foster kept everyone on the edge of their seats. But it’s recommended to watch the full segment and see it for yourself.
