Jimmy Fallon is not a fan of surprises, but he got a big one on Friday's edition of The Tonight Show when Seth Rogen popped out of a giant birthday cake to issue a message to Fallon:
"I know you don't like surprises, so I'm just going to say two things," Rogen said. "First, happy birthday. And second..."
Suddenly, James Franco popped out of the cake dressed as a policeman stripper.
"You're under arrest!" he shouted, before breaking into some suggestive dance moves.
A comically appalled Rogen told him to cut it out, and then informed Fallon that they are not the real surprise. The duo then introduced Stevie Wonder, who glided in on some sort of keyboard float and began playing a special rendition of "Happy Birthday."
Check it out:
As usual, it's been a week full of viral clips on The Tonight Show.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani dropped by to have a lip synch battle, Tim McGraw sat down for a conversation about his favorite songs and Barbra Streisand made her first late-night appearance in more than 50 years.
The lip synch contest was the most entertaining. Our own Carolyn Menyes broke it down:
Out of the gates, it seemed as though Shelton was going to have a little bit of a problem with his first round of lip syncing, as the "Neon Light" singer couldn't form a full sentence and was carrying a glass of champagne... but it was all a part of the act. Soon, he whipped out his take on the 1980s classic "Putting On The Ritz," completed with the classy glass of bubbly and a rather impressive tap dance.
Fallon had a lot to live up to and more or less held his own with a spacey rendition of Ellie Goulding's "Burn." His chosen prop was a variety of wide camera angles and a flashlight to imitate fire, and it worked out well enough.
And then the always engaging performer Stefani took the unplugged microphone into her hands, giving a high energy rendition of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." She was unable to take the full Stefani out of it, winding around the stage like the No Doubt frontwoman that she is and pulling out some of her signature moves.
