The Awkward Moment Blake Shelton Had With Jimmy Fallon On The Tonight Show

Publish date: 2024-05-08

An October 2017 episode of "The Tonight Show" opened with a Jimmy Fallon-style monologue, which showed the talk show host comparing Blake Shelton to the Brawny paper towel guy and mocked his album "Texoma Shore," its cover, and just about everything else about Shelton. 

Then, when Shelton finally arrived on set to join Fallon, he couldn't help but address the barbed introduction. "I loved the 15-minute segment you did making fun of my damn album cover. Can you try to help me sell albums for once?" the singer chuckled, per CMT. Although there's a chance Shelton took it in stride, we can't help but wonder if there was a twinge of frustration, making the whole chat a little awkward. Fans picked up on it, too.  

Fallon wasn't finished with Shelton, though. There was more to come as Fallon mocked what he imagined his friend's life in Oklahoma must've been like. He then dunked on the name Shelton chose for his restaurant, Ol' Red, and then put on a cowboy hat while mock-singing his then-new track, "I'll Name the Dogs." Ouch. Maybe Fallon went too far that time?
