“It’s like a lot more miles” dead
“This is a bra.” I’m dying! Saxophone players unite. We had to march with that damn thing! Lol!
How much did it annoy you that she didn't use the neck strap?
It hurt my soul that she picked it up by the neck
Omg yessss me sitting there knowing how to play it and going no lady it’s a neck strap not a bra how would it be anything else 😂😂
Not in Europe. Jazz sax, baby.
pain that she didn’t even put all her fingers down and didn’t use the neck strap
I like how Jimmy gets all the easy shit and Tina's were all like: here's a complex melody on an instrument that is obscure and difficult to play
tina fey plays flute that's probably why
I'm impressed with Quest's extensive music knowledge including "Husha-bye Baby" and "I Would Walk 25 Miles"
Impressed? Everyone knows them.
@@wholeshebang1 It was sarcasm; he's making fun of Quest for not knowing the correct titles/lyrics to some very well known songs. Of course, it's live TV etc
@@wholeshebang1 r/woosh
I would walk 500 miles not 25
@@captainfirebolt5673 yes I know I was joking because he got the titles wrong
She gets prettier every time I see her. Good on ya, Tina!
She is like fine wine!
Those tiddys getting phatter too… 🔥
Playing Rock a bye baby on the timpani is such a great contradiction 😂
@@jimmyfallon317 - Bahaha! As if you're Jimmy Fallon, randomly annoying a woman in the comment section - especially seeing you have just 2 followers (probably your mom and your other YT account).
Yes! And I believe it’s called a timpanum, the word timpani is plural.
@@corinnedrollette6107 Timpano, since we're being correct. I've played since the 80s and we just call them timps, since they're hard to confuse with any other instrument.
😂😂😂Tina flunks reed instruments & gets the hardest song pics-what a good sport 👍
Hey Jimmy, if you ever need an Otamatone player, let me know!
If u go on, it might be good to bring the big one
The KING of otama
rip
Yesssss
What is a otamatone
Tina: “What are all these damned straps for? Must just be decoration.” Also Tina: “This is heavy, and I can’t hold it.”
Tina is so brilliant, and has such a youthful energy! She sounds like a kid! I adore her.
Love her and she’s not afraid to look silly =)
For a second I thought he had to play 'Old Macdonald' on an ophthalmologist.
The band should do this but they're at someone else's instrument 🤣 and have to play as a group!!!
“It’s like a lot more miles.” Wow 🤣🤣
"what if i hit this and no sound comes out" 😂😂
When I saw Tina Fey struggling to play that instrument, I imagined she was gonna resort to tapping it, but I was thinking like tapping the instrument on the floor or slapping it in that rythm. I'm an idiot if I didn't think of knocking on it.
She couldn't make a noise because there was still a cover on it 🤣🤣🤣 OMG THAT WAS SO CRINGE. She even touched it and never thought to take it off 🤦🏼♀️
@@petalsforarmor106 There was a cover, but it doesn’t prevent sound. It’s a bell cover used for COVID regulations but the was no cover on the mouthpiece. She just couldn’t play it
@@petalsforarmor106 It was maybe because the reed wasn’t moistened beforehand. Of course, we have no way of knowing.
Tina Fey is so funny, love her!
Very impressed that Tina Fey not only knew what a timpani was but the piccolo trumpet as well. The instrument Jimmy tried to play is not exactly an "Electric Saxophone", but an Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI). Although it is played with saxophone fingering, it has many other voices including violin, trumpet, shakuhachi, synthesizer etc. In addition to these built-in voices, you can get desktop and iPad apps from companies such as Audio Modeling and use your EWI as a MIDI controller to get the sound of pretty much any instrument in the orchestra, which are very realistic. I'll be playing my EWI (mine is the same as what Jimmy tried to play on the show, a Roland AE-10) as a bassoon when my community orchestra starts up again in August
TL:DR: The Electric Saxophone is a Smart Instrument.
As a sax player I love/hate this, but I love Jimmy and Tina!
How did someone get through the entire process of micing that mandolin without thinking, even once, that maybe it should be tuned up too? C'mon NBC
This accordion is up side down😂😂😂
7:45 What if I hit this and no sound comes out? hilarious after that baritone attempt
*Baritone Saxophone, more commonly referred to as the bari sax.
@@mickeykramer2162 bari great sax
This made me laugh so hard bahahah. Poor Tina! She's still number one in our hearts!
I’m rolling here cuz I play sax and I went to Tina’s Alma mater UVA...doing us proud 😂 Yeah, the hardest part of sax is getting the sound.
Sounded kinda dry..
She didn't take the cover off the instrument! 🤦🏼♀️🤣
@@petalsforarmor106 On the bari, I saw what I would call a "hairnet"--never saw these until covid came along.. But it is a very light mesh, and would not impede sound very much.🎷
@@danielgregory3295 I thought it looked more dense than a hairnet and more like a dust cover.
@@petalsforarmor106 Yup... I think I saw all the winds on the SNL band using them, too..must be a way to keep from breathing on someone through the horn..
This segment is hilarious. As a music lover, it makes me laugh so hard on how bad they are struggling lol
Jimmy always has very fun games.
Yeah
fixed games lol
“Since I’m the host, I’ll go first” Excellent hospitality Jimmy 🤣
JIMMY, MAKES EVERYTHING HE DOES SEEM MORE EXCITING!!! 🔥👏👏❤️
@@jimmyfallon317 - You forgot "it" - you greatly appreciate "it." LOL As if you're actually Jimmy Fallon, with 2 subscribers. 🤣
I wish the audience had as much fun as you two. Quest holds this bit together. 🌟
I love their energy when they are together. You can tell that they really enjoy each other’s company.
wow Tina Fey looks amazing for 51!
Roots is such an amazing band, love those guys. 💕
Love Tina Fey! Miss seeing her on a regular basis…SNL… 👍😊👏 Love this game…🤣😂👍👏
Rock-a-bye Baby was a mess 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard I cried 😆
Great Video! I love seeing people do this
"opomotomy" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Roots are the best!
Always will love Tina Fey
I love Tina Fey she is the best. Jimmy Fallon you're the best guy ever and you have the best shows that I've ever seen you need to put more shows like that on more time
Love her energy
They are sooo funny together.😂😂😂
I absolutely love your challenges your games everything you do is awesome!!! You ROCK🤘 Jimmy Fallon 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much Kelly I appreciate your comment
These are AWESOME
OMG laughed till tears came out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was a great skit!!
Yay!! I love it when they do games, it's my favourite!!!💖💖💖
I love Tina also I love how jimmy has a theme for everything lol
I liked this because I'm in love with Tina Fey.
Never wished I were a baritone saxophone till now....Tina Fey always a babe😍
Next time Emma Stone and Gal Gadot would love the Random Instruments Challenge of The Tonight Show
How has this not been flipped yet where The Roots play and Jimmy and guest guess?
Cause they know how to play instruments
Where's the fun in that? Too easy.
😗
Awesome! 👏
You can see the roots trying not to cringe when they attempt to play an instrument😂😂
In tears 😂
7:59 That instrument looks like one of those handheld vacuum cleaners lol
The cutieful Tina Fey🥰 💕
Games when they involve the Roots music knowledge are peak tonight show!!!
8:21 His FACE I died 😂😂😂😂
This is slowly becoming one of my fave segments
Questlove is in the house!
she is wearing the accordion upside down OMG
Maybe she's a lefty?
@@brankin421 I think you might be ri... correct. She might be a lefty.
Mrs Tina Fey is legendary and gorgeous
She is * "Ms." * Tina Fey, not "Mrs."
Honestly I'd love this!!! I wish anyone could give it a go... the only issue is I wouldn't know most of the songs
I played alto sax through college and I don't think even I could play the bari sax just picking it up for the first time XD
you be surprised how much easier it is to play compared to alto or tenor just don't be discouraged by its size and weight! Well coming from a bari player.
That is so funny... and then the roots play extremely easily lol.
5:51 jajajajajajaja XD the one and only Al Yancovik
This is so funny 😂
Hush a bye baby on the treetops lmao
She didn't remove the lid off the saxophone I am not an instrument player and did not know that it had to be there😂
The cover was off… you have to have a sax reed wet for it to make any sound… if she had just licked it a bunch she might have gotten something 😂
Hahahaha! It's not a "lid;" it's a "bell cover," a piece of cotton or Spandex stretched over the bell of woodwind and brass instruments, to prevent the spread of COVID by up to 79% while playing.
@@wholeshebang1 oops..didn't know that sorry😅
>>>.
I dream to see a Random Instrument Challenge with John Krasinski...It would be hilarious imo 😂😂😂 plus, I love him! 💙 please Jimmy, make this come true 🙏
They need to add a few more seconds to the clock...15 more seconds and The Roots might be able to guess more of the songs.
They guessed Jimmy's; Tina kept getting really hard ones.
tina fey is a national treasure!
Tina Feys husband plays the saxophone #TinaSaidSoOnJimmysShow The saxophone is a great instrument
Lol, the Weird Al/ accordion joke.
Wait, I got it, that's noise xD
“What’s a timpani?” Lol!
Hey Jimmy did you never watch the MDA Telethon? Each year, every time they would announce the new total reached, they'd call for the timpani first. That's where I learned it from.
I watched most of the random instrument challenges and as someone who plays instruments, it hurts to watch
What a train wreck of a segment! Great concept but poor Tina got screwed with instruments she couldn’t play.
What a good sport Tina is.
She's so nuts. I like that ❤️
Spit girl!!
The reed is too dry! #barisax
uuuuuughhh, 35 miles?! LOL
Of love how shes playing the sax like Tandy is playing the guitar in the last man on earth.
You guys are nuts I love you 🙏🙏🌈🌹🌹🌹😂😂😂
Of course Quest thought it was only 25 miles.
NOT THE BELL COVER ON THE SAX
I played baritone sax in 8th and 9th grade in _marching_ band. 30 years later, I think I still have the leg and neck scars.
I still don't understand that otamatone thing. Never even heard of it!
I’m dying to play this game!!!!!
?uest what is hush a bye baby 😂
Never seen a left handed accordion before 👍
Hilarious!
alana haim needs to do this lmaoo she’d excel
This was great!! Sending to my BF he is an orchestra conductor LOL
Reed instruments are difficult with no prior knowledge. I still have a mark on my bottom lip from the embouchure you have to make to play the sax/reed instrument, felt so bad that, that was an option because its not easy to even get a sound out at your first try sometimes.
"Please find me, spirit of Al Yankovic " imma start saying this
Next time you do one of these, you should have a viola as one of the instruments.
Two set should react!
