Blake Shelton Slams Jimmy Fallon’s Fake Laughs in Hilarious Takedown

by

For over a decade, Jimmy Fallon has been hailed as one of the top late-night hosts, gracing our screens every night on the 2025 TV schedule for lively chats with fellow stars. With his roots in Saturday Night Live and an infectious demeanor, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon regularly includes games, skits, and plenty of hearty chuckles, if not a tad too many? Controversially, some have claimed that Fallon exaggerates his amusement towards guests, and Blake Shelton is among those who’ve pointed this out.

Country music sensation made a trip to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to advertise his latest album titled “For Recreational Use Only”. It wasn’t surprising that the show, being Blake Shelton’s 10th appearance, had Fallon breaking into fits of laughter numerous times. As they conversed about collaborating with Post Malone in the past, Shelton found some similarities and one significant contrast between Malone and Fallon. Shelton quipped dryly:

In every encounter with him, I find myself swept up in the whirlwind of joy he exudes. It’s truly infectious, and I can’t help but be drawn into his enthusiasm for life. Upon reflection, there are indeed similarities between us, yet what sets him apart is his authenticity in expressing that excitement.

It’s worth noting that during Blake Shelton’s tenure as a coach on “The Voice,” he gained a reputation for being something of a prankster. However, this isn’t an uncommon observation about Jimmy Fallon, the late-night host. In fact, it could be seen as a fair assessment. I can’t recall ever watching Jimmy Fallon conduct an interview without him bursting into laughter, slapping his hands together, or tapping on his desk at some point.

I’m not implying that all or even the majority of his laughs are insincere, but I would describe them as “scripted” or “staged.” For instance, consider the latest guest on The Last of Us, Young Mazino. Unlike Jimmy Fallon, the actor appears to be much less genuinely amused by what he said.

Jimmy Fallon is recognized for his own amusing one-liners, and I admire how he isn’t shy about acknowledging the funny side of things, such as when he laughed heartily at a particularly humorous joke with Sofia Vergara.

I, too, wouldn’t be overly sympathetic towards Jimmy Fallon after Blake Shelton’s remark. The country music sensation is known to dish out jokes, but he can handle them just as well (as evident by Adam Levine’s comments about the limits of teasing their fellow “Voice” coach). It’s clear that Shelton believed Fallon was preparing for a joke when he commented on the new album cover.

  • Jimmy Fallon: I think the album cover is cool. It’s mysterious. You’re, like, a stranger in a bar.
  • Blake Shelton: Stop.
  • Fallon: No, no, no.
  • Shelton: What are you doing? Just say your joke. I know you’re building up to something.
  • Fallon: No, you’re, like, thinking. You’re in front of a jukebox, there’s a map behind you with, like, a whip. You’re like Indiana Jones. You’re deciding, ‘What song should I play next?’

At that point, Blake Shelton requested the band to begin a tune, hoping it would interrupt Jimmy Fallon while he was analyzing the cover of his album.

It’s quite evident that Jimmy Fallon enjoys himself while interacting with his guests. However, after numerous instances where people have accused him of forced laughter, the hilarity of Blake Shelton’s critique is simply killing me.

Hey there fellow movie enthusiasts! If you’re hungry for more of me (Jimmy Fallon), don’t miss out on “The Tonight Show” airing every weeknight at 11:35 p.m. ET over on NBC.
