Zayn Malik Crashes Jimmy Fallon’s Monologue Twice in Six Months, This Time To Announce a Special Surprise

Published 09/18/2024, 12:57 AM EDT

Interruptions whether on a VMA stage as you are accepting the Moonman for the Best Female Video, or the Oscar stage as you make a G.I. Jane joke, always either leave bad blood or an aching cheek. However, there is an exception when Zayn Malik and Jimmy Fallon are involved. Having left the public eye for quite some time now, the former One Direction member amped up the ante this year by hijacking Jimmy Fallon's show to announce his comeback single.

Within months, however, Malik has recreated the scene but somehow managed to make it more iconic than the last.

When Jimmy Fallon says "This is gonna be one of our best show," despite his best efforts, it does not always turn out to be true. However, when this declaration is followed up by a slick and shady Zayn Malik emerging from the curtains to drop him a coffee and a memo that reads "I am going on me first ever solo tour this Autumn," swiftly announcing his STAIRWAY TO THE SKY TOUR across the US and the UK, it stands true to its claims.

Malik is a man of a few beautiful words and while he did not speak any of them during his second appearance within a year at The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, his actions may have earned the loudest applause from the audience in a while. Since his departure from the once globally famous band, this would be the first time that Zayn Malik goes on a tour, and even before he makes the official announcement, a sold-out sign already seems to be dangling, fortunately, Fallon does not have to worry given that Malik just called him "mate."

With Zayn Malik using Fallon's show to make almost every announcement these days, it seems that the two are eventually becoming a stronger duo, more popular than the marketing tactics of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

Given the entourage of talk shows present, and the abundance of 'Jimmys' on said talk shows, it is very rare for a celebrity to strike a special bond with a talk show host. However, Zayn Malik has managed to do just that with Jimmy Fallon. The singer chose the same 'hijacking' style that he did to announce his tour earlier in the year to announce his comeback single.

With two wins in a row, Jimmy Fallon's show has become the go-to for Zayn Malik and his fans. Not only is the tall show Malik's favorite pit spot for making big announcements, but it is also where he presented fans with the gift of his vocals when he performed 'Alienated'. It seems that Malik has realized that in the music world, where making the headlines is key, it is better to 'Fall-on' than fail.
