Mo'ne Davis Pitches 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon'


Jimmy bets Mo'ne Davis a Philly cheesesteak if the Little League Baseball star pitcher can strike him out.Fallon’s first guest was acclaimed actress, Claire Danes, of the hit TV series Homeland. His second guest tonight was Little League pitching sensation, Mo’ne Davis, who Fallon will play wiffle ball with, badly. Jimmy’s musical guest was the band Fences, featuring singer Macklemore. Also, as it is Friday, Jimmy Fallon did his very funny “Thank You Notes,” segment after his monologue. Jimmy Fallon opened up the show by welcoming his audience to the Tonight Show. Then, he said “Happy birthday” to Chris Christie, who will turn 52 tomorrow.Jimmy Fallon then cracked a joke about one of the favorite personalities he has to poke fun of, Mayor Rob Ford, saying “Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is back in the news after he dropped out of two debates earlier this weekend. Something come up in his schedule: 1. Get High 2.Punch a Fire Hydrant.”Along with her Taney Dragons catcher Scott Bandura, Davis squared off against Fallon in a wiffle ball pitch off. In the 10 pitch contest, with every strike counting as a point for Davis and every hit being a point for the host -- well, let's just say that if this was a real ballgame, Fallon would have been pinch hit for pretty quickly. In the end, Davis even decided that she needed more of the inside corner and buzzed the comedian off the plate. While her curveball is like Kershaw's and her fastball is her own, I think her mound presence may be Bob Gibson's.
