They were probably SO out of their comfort zones. Their studio sets are like a second home. They did amazing!!

This is television at its best. Totally classic humor. Bravo to both hosts, guest, audiences and networks.

It’s nice how the audience instead of staying silent when Jimmy Fallon appears, they keep applauding and cheering for him

the crowd goes crazy when they realize it’s Fallon 😂
“please settle down, you’re gonna offend the other Jimmy”

I love how the Jimmys kept swapping places and some guests didn't even notice, haha!! Excellent idea guys it would be great if you do something similar again!!

Never seen Fallon that relaxed and confident, or heard him get an ovation like that. Brilliant idea.

Now imagine if Ryan gosling replaced Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

The late night multiverse is such an awesome concept 🤣

The Italian guy killed me !! Also the violin lady - this is so funny 😂

[tjstravelingtales]

The Italian guy just had no idea what was going on, he probably didn’t realize who Fallon or Kimmel really were 😂 he did it for his instagram

"We're two different people.You're not drunk." The perfect line.

[neerajasati]

I can bet, that Italian guy did not know either of them and came just to take a photo with foreign celebrity😂😂

The BEST April Fool's joke EVER!!! Love both Jimmies, now even more! :)

[steffenhaas]

Imagine having waited ages for tickets to see your favorite late night host live, and then this happens 😳😂😂

[alichehab]

I can’t stop smiling. Best April fool’s prank ever!

This is brilliant television! I'm sure Letterman was sitting at home laughing his head of and beaming with pride, because this is the type of experimental stuff that made him famous! Kudos to the Jimmies! Now we need to get Colbert, Conan, Letterman and even that British guy involved in these show swaps!

Kimmel legit got to host The Tonight Show. He is legit a nerve wreck.

[Bjorks]

I never thought this would actually happened 😂😂 Jimmy hosting a show that was hosted by Jimmy? Man I love Jimmy so much

I love the fake Guillermo how he's just nodding his head.

Fallon: He's like a brother to me
