Jimmy Fallon Wishes He Could Do Long-Form Interviews Like Howard Stern On ‘The Tonight Show’
deadline.comJimmy Fallon is jealous of Howard Stern’s long interviews. The Tonight Show host was a surprise guest on stage at SiriusXM’s SmartLess Live, which featured Stern.
Speaking at the event, which was held in Amagansett, New York, SmartLess hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes were interviewing their SiriusXM colleague Stern when the former America’s Got Talent host mentioned Fallon. “When Jimmy Fallon does an interview, he can’t do an hour interview because he’s dealing with televisions coming on and off,” Stern said.
Fallon was in the audience and was asked by Hayes whether he’d ever had conversations about doing longer interviews on The Tonight Show, much like Johnny Carson was able to do. “You can’t do it,” he said. “I wish I could do a longer interview with certain guests.
