Jimmy Fallon may be a lovable late-night host, but he can also throw some punches. The host has successfully maintained his show all these years through entertainment, humor, and a hoard of celebrities. He is loved for his charming, happy, and light persona. But when the time comes, he can certainly go into survival mode. Even if that means a drunken brawl at a bar.

If celebrities get into fights today, they would face heaps of scrutiny for their behavior. But back in the 90s, an actor could still defend himself and not face heat. Years after that incident, Fallon opened up about it when appearing as a guest for an interview.

Jimmy Fallon recalled the brawl incident on SmartLess

Jimmy Fallon is perhaps one of the last people that you would expect to get into fights. But years ago, the show host found himself in trouble when he got caught up in a bar fight. He revealed during an interview on the SmartLess podcast in 2021, remembering how the incident unfolded. Co-host Jason Bateman first asked him to tell the story of his fight with Vince Vaughn. Fallon corrected him and said that he and Vaughn were actually on the same side.”What in the world,” he thought to himself as they landed in a fight.

It all started when Vaughn appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as a guest that night. After the show, he joined Fallon and the show’s crew at Hurley’s bar. The two celebrities were at the urinal when the Freaky actor proposed the idea of pranking Will Ferrell. They decided to kick open the door of the stall where they thought he was. But as it turned out, it was not Ferrell in there. The random person began throwing punches as the three fought in confusion.

The duo ended up getting thrown out of the club. But Fallon went through another similar incident years later.

Years after that brawl, Fallon had now become a big and known celebrity. But in 2014, he went through a similar incident as he became part of a brawl. He was at the Niagra Bar in NYC with his crew when the environment turned hostile.

While he was not the perpetrator, the actor was soon taken aside and protected. The scuffle took place between the bar’s patron, and Fallon immediately decided to keep his distance. He even returned to host another episode of his show the next day.
