Jimmy Fallon thought he was canceled after viral RuPaul interview Instagram: jimmyfallon, rupaulofficialLate-night US television host Jimmy Fallon has explained why he thought he was going to be canceled after a clip from an interview with drag queen RuPaul went viral. RuPaul is one of the most notable drag queens in the world, thanks largely due to the huge success of his show RuPaul Drag Race, and had appeared on The Tonight Show to promote the new season of the show. In the viral clip, Jimmy had called RuPaul a drag queen, and was immediately cut off by the star saying \u201cdrag queen?!\u201d Jimmy looked terrified, thinking he had got something wrong, before RuPaul clarified that he is \u201cthe queen of drag.\u201d LMFAOOOOOOO Jimmy Fallon thought he was about to get CANCELED\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d I\u2019m SCREAMING pic.twitter.com\/TGHccn1B1u \u2014 Tyonne \u272a (@issa6foot3) February 7, 2020 Jimmy\u2019s face was priceless, and the internet immediately started joking about how clearly he had thought he had messed up, with the clip amassing over 7 million views throughout the weekend after it happened. Though Fallon sees the funny side now, he reiterates how terrified he was during the conversation, saying that he \u201chonestly thought it was over.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s it, I\u2019m canceled,\u201d he said. \u201cI started my own hashtag, #JimmyFallonIsOverParty. I was like \u2018I had a good run, I had 10 years in the business.\u2019 But it was so funny.\u201d Jimmy went on to repeat RuPaul\u2019s appalled \u201cdrag queen\u201d exclamation with a brilliant impersonation, before extending his thanks to the Queen of Drag and calling it a \u201cvery funny moment.\u201d Jimmy wouldn\u2019t be the first person to have a hashtag to celebrate canceling them \u2013 earlier in January 2020, #DuaLipaisOverParty was trending on Twitter because of her appearance at a Los Angeles strip club. This might be one of the greatest pranks we\u2019ve seen pulled on national television, and Fallon will no doubt think twice before he dares call RuPaul a drag queen again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
