Jimmy Fallon and Greg Gutfeld came together for a surprising collaboration where the television personalities reminisced on the first time they met.

The two hosts gathered on Fallon’s Tonight Show – an interesting pairing as both have talk shows on competing channels – as Gutfeld shared the embarrassing tale of the first time the two had met.

As he joined the stage, Fox News’ Gutfeld gave Fallon a hug and said that it “brought back memories.”

“This is hilarious – we’ve met before,” Fallon said on air. 

“Yes, you have no memory of it… Which is understandable, because we were wasted,” Gutfeld said.

He then claimed that the two had met over a decade ago at an “illegal speakeasy” in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, owned by a mutual friend.

“You’re not making this up. I totally know what you’re talking about,” Fallon quipped back.

“I think I remember bringing beer into the bar, and then him charging me for my own beer.”

The Fox News personality then said that as soon as Fallon saw him, he ran over.

“You run towards me, and you tackle me, like you’re a giant golden retriever,” he recounted as the crowd laughed.

“You’re like on top of me. And so we’re wrestling. We’re wrestling.”

“And then you change, and you start wrestling my buddy Andy, and you’re wrestling him. And you guys get on the ground. You guys are now on the ground wrestling.” 

Gutfeld then said that as he took out a cigarette, Fallon took it from him and crumpled it to the ground, saying: “These things will kill you.”

“Then I go: ‘Dude, I’m not rich. You’re rich.’ Cigarettes are expensive in New York City. I yell, and all of a sudden, your face changed,” he claimed.

“And you looked sad, and then you left.”

Fallon was looking to make amends, however, as just minutes later, he turned up with a new pack.

Fox News hosts

Meet the hosts who appear on Fox News:

“I go, ‘That was really sweet. You want me to die,'” Gutfeld said as the audience laughed.

Fallon then confirmed the story, saying that all the details were true.

“It was all very good-natured, and it was a great memory,” Gutfeld said on the show.

“And I’m so glad I finally got to tell you!”

The rest of the episode featured Gutfeld talking about his Fox News show, “What Did I Miss?” and how he had gotten fired plenty of times before finally ending up at the channel.

“Congrats on the series being picked up another season, that’s a big deal,” Fallon told Gutfeld as the show concluded.
