Jimmy Fallon is used to interacting with polished, outwardly calm guests comfortable playing to live audiences. Kristen Stewart is not that — refreshingly so. On Tuesday's Tonight Show, Stewart and Fallon played a game called "Blurt," which is sort of like a word-based Rorschach test: You see a word and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Their answers are amusing — especially when they draw "Tinder" — but the best part is watching Stewart narrate the conversation inside her head.
"I'm not really good at the whole, like, improv joke thing, so I'm gonna be — even to say a word is hard — so, OK, let's go," she said at one point. It's unclear at some points if Fallon and Stewart know each other well enough to needle the other, or if Fallon doesn't know how to handle a guest who just says what she's thinking — and that's really the reason to watch this delightfully uncomfortable game of "Blurt." Never change, Kristen Stewart. Peter Weber
