In most games, you try to fool your opponents. In The Tonight Show's "First Impressions" game, Jimmy Fallon and his guests, Josh Brolin and SNL's Kate McKinnon, were shooting for the opposite. Brolin took the first shot, saying a given phrase in a given celebrity voice, and with a few clues, he got Fallon and McKinnon to guess correctly. McKinnon was handed a gimme, but did perhaps the worst Christopher Walken impression The Tonight Show has ever seen. Brolin and Fallon guessed it almost immediately, but McKinnon knew the score. "It's not good," she said, banging her chair, after Fallon said her impression was "not bad." "I know that it's not good."
Then the game got a little dangerous, at least for Fallon. His Mike Tyson was, if anything, a little lower-pitched than the boxer's real voice, but Brolin gleefully dragged out the impersonation. "I'm so afraid right now," Fallon said. Brolin and McKinnon each got another turn, and while none of the impersonations were great, that's probably not the point of the game. Peter Weber
