Late night turned a tense documentary scene into a quick gag.

Wednesday's Tonight Show opened with a one-minute bit in which host Jimmy Fallon played Nathan Fielder, co-director of the Elizabeth Holmes film "You Can See Everything," while Jamie Lee Curtis stepped in as Holmes.

The pair faced each other the way Fielder and Holmes do during one stiff stretch of the movie and matched that awkward energy.

The bit

Fallon asks whether Curtis really wants to appear that night. She answers "of course" with a Holmes-like stare and says she loves talking to him.

He presses to confirm she did not only stop by to promote a project. She insists she is not tricking him and claims she has zero motive to lie.

Convinced he says "Good chat" and leaves to start the hour. Her parting quip after he walks off seals the joke.
