One of Jimmy Fallons late-night staples is bringing on Tony-winning vocalist Audra McDonald to belt out absurd Yahoo! Answers. But for Tuesdays episode, the host recruitedcomedy-croonerSeth MacFarlaneto form Tonight Show supergroup Yahoo! Answers Lounge Singers,singing answers to real, ridiculous questions submitted by Yahoo! Answers users.
The duo conjure a hammy lounge atmosphere in the clip, delivering their laid-back Q&A while staring at each other from behind two grand pianos. Can a veterinarian tell how many lives a cat has left? Fallon asks, to which MacFarlane responds, Yes, they can. They need to cut a part of the tail off and count the number of rings left. Its like a tree.
The silly queries continue, interrupted by Fallons sultry fake piano-playing. What does TGIF stand for? the host asks, earning the satisfying answer, The Goat is Fed. And Are skeletons real or made up? brings a tasty response: Skeletons, contrary to popular belief, are made of marzipan by the finest French confectionary chefs.
Fallon switches gears into some holiday questions, with MacFarlane explaining how Santa knows were sleeping (The same way peeping Toms know. The looks in your window. But when Santa does it, its not weird.), the actual spelling of Chanukah (Chaka Khan) and the best Christmas routine (The the balls out of the boxwash emdangle em from the tree.).
