Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd make ‘King of Wishful Thinking’ music video
By Jeremy Dick
For a segment on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd donned some goofy wigs and created a music video to ‘King of Wishful Thinking.’
Jimmy Fallon’s the best when it comes to musical comedy sketches on late night television, and his newest video does not disappoint!
On Friday night’s Tonight Show, actor Paul Rudd appeared as a guest. While on the set, Rudd took part in a new music video with Fallon. Wearing disguises in the form of wigs and glasses, the two create a shot-for-shot remake of the 1990 music video of Go West’s “King of Wishful Thinking.”
As the song is prominently featured on the Pretty Woman soundtrack, the video pays homage to the film too. A woman playing Julia Roberts’ character Vivian is featured in the video as well. Whether you’re a fan of the song or the film, though, you’re going to have a good time watching Fallon and Rudd in the video!
You can watch this segment in the YouTube video below.
This is not the first time Rudd has performed in such a sketch with Fallon. Previously, the two created a similar video using the Styx song “Too Much Time on My Hands.” Something tells me that whenever Rudd decides to return to the show to promote another new project, we’ll be seeing a third one of these things.
