Watch Jimmy Fallon and Post Malone get weird at Olive Garden
By Matt Moore
Rapper Post Malone took Jimmy Fallon to dinner at Olive Garden for the Tonight Show and it was not your typical meal.
The Olive Garden is one of the most popular and well-known chain restaurants in the country. Everyone knows where their neighborhood Olive Garden is and everyone knows about the famous never-ending breadsticks. Chances are you’ve enjoyed a meal or two at the Olive Garden…unless you’re Jimmy Fallon.
The Tonight Show host admitted he had never before dined at Olive Garden. So Post Malone, his guest on the Oct. 11 episode decided to change that. After extending the invite a week earlier, the rapper took Fallon along for a ride in his pink limousine for a private meal for two.
Anyone familiar with Post Malone knows that the Beerbongs and Bentleys rapper is a unique character and a tad eccentric. However he seems to be in his element when sampling free wine or buttering his bread stick at Olive Garden. Check out the video for yourself:
These remote bits aren’t used by Fallon as heavily as other late night hosts like Conan O’Brien. They typically involve Fallon surprising unsuspecting fans in public. But in this video, Fallon is able to bring some the same energy he has during interviews to a booth at the Olive Garden. One of his strengths is matching the enthusiasm of his guest and here he stays in step with Post Malone.
The bread sticks, salad, and chick parm meals they ordered are certainly typical of an Olive Garden experience. What wasn’t typical was the laundry basket of croutons, silly straws in wine glasses, and Jimmy’s “mustard or ketchup” guessing game. Credit to the waitress for taking everything in stride.
And if you’re curious about that Olive Garden slogan proclamation that Fallon mentioned, it’s true. Check out the clip from a 2013 episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon:
This could be the start of a whole new series for The Tonight Show. Jimmy Fallon trying out all the favorite restaurant chains of celebrities. Wherever he ends up next, we’ll have it covered at Last Night On.
