Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon Share a Hilarious Summer Camp Memory
On a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon took a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about a cringe-worthy experience they shared at summer camp in the 1990s. The two childhood friends opened up about an awkward, yet funny, incident that still haunts them to this day. With their signature humor, the pair revealed how this embarrassing moment has remained a part of their friendship for decades.
A ‘90s Summer Camp Experience That Still Haunts Them
During the interview, Timberlake and Fallon recalled a time in their youth when they attended the same summer camp. Both admitted that they were nervous and out of their element at the time, and the memory that has lingered is an incident involving a performance they had to give in front of the entire camp. The two were tasked with putting on a skit or performance for their fellow campers, a pressure-filled situation that led to what they described as an absolute disaster.
Timberlake and Fallon explained how, in typical 90s fashion, they were wearing oversized clothes, attempting to show off their “cool” dance moves to an eager crowd of their peers. The performance was a huge flop, with the pair admitting that their moves were so cringe-worthy that even they couldn’t look back at the moment without wincing. Timberlake, recalling the awkwardness of the situation, said, “It was just one of those things where we thought we were so cool… and we definitely were not.”
Laughing Through the Embarrassment: How They Made It Through
Despite the initial embarrassment, Timberlake and Fallon managed to find humor in the situation over the years. The two joked about how they still occasionally bring up the “cringe-worthy” camp performance, laughing about how much they’ve grown since then. Fallon, ever the comedian, joked about how their camp performance might be the reason they’re so comfortable in front of large audiences today. “It prepared us for everything that came after,” Fallon quipped.
Timberlake agreed, noting that the experience taught him not to take himself too seriously. He also credited his friendship with Fallon for helping him navigate moments like these, saying that the shared memories, including the “cringe-worthy” performance, are part of what has kept their bond strong. “We laugh about it, but we also know we got through it together, which made it easier to face the embarrassing moments that came after,” Timberlake shared.
