Ryan‘s Odd Interview With Jimmy
Ryan gave an interview on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show where he talked about Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell, and their new movie.
The thing was, Jimmy invited Will Ferrell to the show, but unexpectedly, Ryan showed up.
Jimmy and the whole audience were shocked, and as Jimmy had his questions prepared for the Will, he had no idea what he would talk about with Ryan.
Ryan said that he received a call from Will when he was walking his dog.
It was a last-minute call, and Will asked for the favor and told Ryan to go and do the interview instead of him because he got stuck at his work.
Will couldn’t make it, so Ryan showed up there. Ryan said that Will is a talk show freak, and he doesn’t know how he could miss such an amazing talk show.
Jimmy asked Ryan about his wife, Blake, and he said that his kids and wife were going great and his sex life with Blake was also going well.
He then told Jimmy not to ask him personal questions, but he himself was talking about his personal stuff.
Jimmy wanted to talk about Ryan’s show, Red Notice, but Ryan didn’t want to talk about himself as he was there in place of Will.
So he asked Jimmy to talk about Will’s new show. Will and Paul Rudd’s new show, The Shrink Next Door, was about to release, and Jimmy asked if Ryan knew anything about the movie.
Ryan started talking about the show, but it was nothing, as it's shown in the trailer.
He still continued and talked about a bunch of things that didn’t relate to the show, making clear that he had absolutely no idea about Will’s how.
The whole interview was weird as none of them were prepared on what to say, so as not to make the whole situation weird, Ryan just said a bunch of funny stuff.
