Marlon Wayans, who is soon set to star in the Jordan Peele-produced horror film Him, recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and roasted the host over an incident that occurred when Arnold Schwarzenegger was on the show. Here’s what went down between Wayans and Fallon.
Marlon Wayans jokes about Jimmy Fallon not knowing how to smoke a cigar
Marlon Wayans was hilarious throughout his stint on the talk show. Soon, the two discussed Wayans owning a cigar brand, “Liga Tridente.” This led to Wayans recalling when Jimmy Fallon smoked a cigar with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wayans said that the Terminator star was the one who taught Fallon how to smoke a cigar.
Wayans further asked Fallon what he did when he tried his first cigar. Fallon admitted that he licked it, leading to bouts of laughter all around the room. Wayans pressed further about why he would lick a cigar. Fallon tried to explain, “Well, when I grew up, it was, we, my dad had some cigars from probably like, it was just an old dusty cigar, like, so I think to moisten it, I think to moisten the tobacco, he licked it or something.”
This led to more laughter. Wayans calmly said, “You obviously smoked weed,” which led to more laughter all around. Wayans added, “Jimmy. I know you’re PG-13, but come on. Let’s keep it a buck.”
The entire segment has gained popularity since the episode aired, and fans continue to revisit this exchange, especially because of Wayans’s humor.
Marlon Wayans will appear in Justin Tipping’s Him, a supernatural psychological sports horror film that follows the training of a new superstar at the isolated compound of an aging quarterback.
The film also stars Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, and Jim Jefferies, among others.
Him will premiere on September 19, 2025, in theaters.
