Today, Jimmy Fallon is a successful comedian, actor and producer, and the current host of The Tonight Show -- but he wasn't always so smooth an operator.
During his recent interview with Hollywood star Nicole Kidman, it was revealed that the two met many years ago and that Fallon missed out on the chance to date the famous actress because he "wasn't interested" and was seemingly more concerned with lazing around his apartment and playing video games.
You can watch the segment below, which is almost ten minutes long but well worth sticking with -- Fallon's realisation that he almost dated one of the most famous faces in the world effectively de-rails the entire interview, with amusing results.
To make the situation even more funny, Nintendo of America picked up on the *Super Mario* reference in the interview and attempted to console the talk show host:
We sure hope that game of Mario Bros. was worth it, Jimmy.

LOL
...holy crap, it's like watching the story of my life featuring Jimmy Fallon as me!
I don't even know this show and I was in stitches through the whole thing, oh mY GOD, lol
Nicole Kidman's not a Mario fan?
Wasn't she married to a short, bossy bloke who jumped about a lot and whom people questioned about his sexuality just like Mario?
Bahahahaha told!
Who needs a girl when you got video games?
Question Mario's sexuality? Really, how do you question the sexuality of a character that only says eight words and destroys evil turtles and mushrooms all day?
Mario is clearly heterosexual (not that it matters), in fact...he's been accused of being a womanizer!
In reality, he just likes to date around...Pauline, Daisy, Peach, ...They're all very attractive women, but he seems to have settled on Peach for a long term relationship.
@Porky That's what Porky said.
Don't feel bad, Jimmy. Trying to date Kidman would be like buying a lottery ticket. It just gives you a very slim chance of hitting the jackpot.
@Zach777 true. Though, that speaks volumes on Mario's psychological state...
@MrGawain Hilarious!!
Hard to believe humanity has been playing Nintendo games for over 125 years.
NoA should have said:"Never mind, Jimmy, obviously your princess was in another castle..."
Video was hilarious, though, guys, well done, gotta love that Jimmy fella.
Well, at the time, Nicole was 22 and Jimmy was only 15, so maybe they're playing up the potential for romance slightly more then the original situation warranted.
@andrea987 Yep, I like your reply better. I had to read the official Nintendo one a couple times to understand.
Just... Wow! Jimmy's reaction was priceless!
@andrea987 haha much better! The NOA tweet has a bit of a whiff of desperation off it or something. Lol.
@andrea987 Oh that would'ave been perfect!
That was hilarious!
Whether your name is Mario, Luigi, or Link: Nothing is more important than rescuing the quintessential damsel in distress!!!
@Action51 Don't forget Rosalina, from Mario Galaxy series. She's bursting with personality and an intriguing back story. Mario set out to save Peach, but fell in love with the classy cosmic sorceress instead!
If I were Jimmy, I would ask everybody in the audience to slap me in the face.
If only it was that easy...
God I love Jimmmy Fallon. This was hysterical. Kidman clearly is still in love with him haha.
My god... Nicole Kidman looks beautiful than ever! <3
All's well that ends well. I'm pretty sure he is happy with his spouse. Perhaps SHE plays videogames?
@Porky Ain't that the truth? Hurhur
@andrea987 XD
If she didn't also wanna play SMB1, then she's no good for ya, Jimmy!
How funny. Love it.
@Spectra_Twilight True...
Nicole Kidman must be an elf cause she is still gorgeous.
@Spectra_Twilight My love for FFXIV will never betray me but only at the end of every dungeon. XD
"Merry-o"...
NOA actually trolls well.
Nicole could have been Jimmy's beard
Just got to watch it. That was hysterical. I gotta give him credit, Jimmy Fallon really knows how to translate fun through that late night format.
Uhhhh you sure Jimmy Fallon isn't gay?
Bells and whistles in the gaydar bunker go off everytime he is on television.
Hmmm... Nicole Kidman, or Super Mario Bros.... Decisions decisions.
You made the right choice Jimmy.
lol
who cares??
