It has been 31 years since the music video for Lionel Richie’s Hello came out and we are still talking about it today. In fact, yesterday on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon recreated it with a little twist. He played the singer and the singer played his ceramic bust. As the NBC late night host sang the song, Richie sat their motionless. Then when the chorus came on, he started to sing. That is where it gets creepy and yet you can’t turn away. There is just something so captivating about it, especially when both men can’t control their laughter. Which makes you laugh along with them and then you forget how creepy it is.
So is it the creepiest thing that Fallon has done in late night? No, that title is still held by him singing Barbara Ann with wax versions of himself, but this is a close second.
