Jimmy Fallon narrates how he met Michael Jordan and they kissed
Fallon was sneaker shopping at Nike Flight Club with Joe la Puma when he was asked about how he met MJ:
“I had a very awkward run-in with Michael Jordan. I was at a golf charity event with [Derek] Jeter, and so I was playing with those guys. … We were at some nightclub at the end of the night, and Derek’s like, ‘Hey Jimmy, do you know Michael?’ ”
He continued, “And I go, ‘Yeah, I know you.’ And I went to say what’s up, and I went to give him a kiss on the cheek and he went to give me a kiss on this cheek and we both like kissed on the lips. I thought I was gonna die.”
Luckily, there were no hard feelings with the former athlete, as Fallon said, “He grabbed me and he goes, ‘It’s okay.’ ”
There definitely is a lingering awkwardness though, as Fallon joked.
“I saw him a couple months ago at a restaurant … we kinda had a look,” teased the comedian, adding. “He knows what happened.”
