Madonna Shocks Jimmy Fallon by Crawling on His Desk During ‘Tonight Show’ Appearance
|It’s Madonna’s world, and we’re just living in it.
On Thursday evening, the 63-year-old musician stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she surprised the late-night host by crawling across his desk in an attempt to “disturb” the peace.
Appearing on the program to promote her newly released Paramount+ tour documentary Madame X, Madonna was asked what she hopes viewers will take away from the project. She told Jimmy Fallon, “Art is important in our lives. I don’t think people emphasize that enough.”
Explaining to Fallon, 47, that she is “really inspired by James Baldwin, the writer,” Madonna said, “… He was a great source of inspiration for the show, and one of the things I quote over and over again in the show is that artists are here to disturb the peace.”
“And so I hope that I have disturbed not only your peace this afternoon but people’s peace while they watch the show. But I mean that in the best way,” the “Like a Prayer” singer added to Fallon.
As Fallon commended Madonna for her viewpoint, noting that she always finds herself getting into “good trouble,” the singer flashed a sly smile before rising from her seat and stretching across his desk.
With the in-studio audience cheering, Fallon shouted at the star, “Madonna! Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop it! Oh my heavens. Stop it. Stop it. I don’t know what to do. Stop it right now.”
Fallon quickly placed his suit jacket across the lower half of the pop icon’s body. As she got up from the desk, Madonna reassured the host, “No one’s gonna see anything. My God!”
Returning to her seat, Madonna briefly flashed a glimpse of her derrière, causing the studio audience to erupt with cheers.
