Martin Short and Jimmy Fallon exchanged hilariously fake tales about actor Bill Paxton on Thursday night during a Tonight Show round of “Word Sneak.” The game’s objective is simple: work a series of random words and phrases into a conversation “as casually and as seamlessly as possible” – and in this case, it led to an extended back-and-forth on Paxton’s back hair and public drunkenness. The game truly takes off when Short is forced to sneak “Bill Paxton” into the bizarre rant. This leads to a story about the actor getting drunk in the audience of Short’s play, getting into a shirtless scuffle with security and wrestling Fallon.
