Yago: Any anxieties that a light will fall on your head or something will catch fire?
Fallon: I always have that anxiety that a light is going to fall on my head. There's a lighting guy that hates me. He follows me around and throws lamps at me so I assume that they're falling. Wait, there's not [supposed to be] a light out here — we're outdoors. Why is there a light? Maybe it's "The Truman Show." I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's going on. So I'm afraid all the time. But you've got to roll with the punches. If a light falls on me during the show, keep the cameras rolling, because I want to make the bloopers show, the "Uncensored" the year after. That's history. "Yeah, remember the year when that comedian — they won't even remember my name — remember when that comedian guy got hit with a light?" And he held his back in slow motion. And they'll play the Goo Goo Dolls behind me or P.O.D. "I feel so alive ..." and the light falls on me. They'll be wheeling me out — "Oh, I'll never host an awards show again."
Yago: Do you have any VMA moments that really stick out in your head?
Fallon: The Howard Stern thing was always great. I loved that. And the Rage Against the Machine guy was one of my favorite things. There's so many. The Chili Peppers with Marisa Tomei — that was the Video Music Awards, right?
Yago: I think that might have been the Movie Awards, but I don't know — I just work here.
Fallon: I remember being at the Movie Awards thinking about the Video Music Awards thinking, "Man, those are great awards shows. You should make a movie about them and then nominate it at the Movie Awards." "The winner of the best movie about a video awards show is ... our movie! Thanks us! You're welcome, you!"
Yago: You've got a comedy album called The Bathroom Wall coming out two days before the VMAs.
Fallon: I know. Doesn't that seem planned? It kinda seems bumped up. It's a comedy album. I'm not crossing over. I'm not trying to say, "Oh, I'm a singer now, take me seriously." The first song is called "Idiot Boyfriend" and it's a disco song. It's like a very Leo Sayer type of vibe, like (sings high pitched) "I know what you want!" And I think no one's going to get into that, and that's going to be good because I love to be depressed. We just did the video. I think they've got a "Making the Video," because my friend saw a commercial for it.
Yago: For real? They didn't even tell you about it?
Fallon: No, no. They make the video, and they don't tell you you're making the video, and they go, "By the way, you made the video," and you're like, "What?! How was it?" and they go, "Watch. Tune in." And then you see it and go, "Oh yeah, I remember that. That was good."
Yago: Is there any concept for it?
Fallon: Oh yeah. It's kind of like a "Meet the Parents" ... Sorry, am I cutting you off every time you try to talk?
Yago: No, not in the slightest. Go for it.
Fallon: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me talk.
Yago: I ...
Fallon: No, please.
Yago: Please, it's ...
Fallon: Thank you.
