Hollywood is buzzing again after the surprising news of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban ending their nearly 20-year marriage. Fans, however, didn’t take long to dig up a legendary moment from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that left audiences in stitches back in 2015.
In that viral throwback, Kidman recalled how a mutual friend once tried to set her up with Fallon when she was single. She revealed she had been interested, but Jimmy had no idea it was meant to be a date. Instead of sweeping her off her feet, Fallon wore a baseball cap, barely talked, and even turned on a video game while Nicole sat there awkwardly. After waiting for over an hour, she left convinced he wasn’t interested, joking, “Maybe he’s gay.”
The moment was TV gold — Fallon was utterly shocked that he once ignored a chance to date Nicole Kidman. His dramatic reaction, paired with Kidman’s uncontrollable laughter, made the episode one of the most memorable interviews on late-night TV.
Now, with the news of her divorce, fans are humorously reviving the clip, playfully speculating if Fallon has a “second chance.” Social media has been flooded with memes, edits, and playful shipping between the two.
That said, Fallon has been happily married since 2007 to producer Nancy Juvonen, with whom he shares two daughters. Kidman, meanwhile, is focusing on her next chapter post-divorce, though fans continue to reminisce about the chemistry she and Fallon showcased in that iconic interview.
So, while the idea of Fallon and Kidman as a couple remains in the realm of fan fantasy, the resurfaced clip proves one thing: some moments of television never lose their charm.
