Do you really want to be on the show tonight?&#8221; Fallon asked Curtis in a tone similar to Fielder&#8217;s in the movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The actress stared at him for several beats, just like Holmes in the doc&#8217;s viral clip, before she smiled and answered that, yes, of course she did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <a data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;So you&#8217;re not just here to promote your new show, <a data-ylk=\"slk:Newlyweds;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/newlyweds-stars-tea-leoni-tim-daly-talk-real-life-marriage-exclusive-12114062\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Newlyweds<\/a>?&#8221; Fallon asked her slowly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;No,&#8221; Curtis replied with intense eye contact. &#8220;I&#8217;m engaging with you as a human being.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fallon still wanted to know if she was being completely honest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She didn&#8217;t stop staring and appeared to agree with everything he said. She tried very hard to, at the very least, appear honest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Why would I deceive you?&#8221; Curtis asked in a lower voice. &#8220;There&#8217;s no reason for me to do that. There&#8217;s nothing for me to deceive you on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then she flashed her eyes, reminiscent of Gloria Swanson&#8217;s Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When he accepted her answer, with a &#8220;good chat,&#8221; she again stared at him wildly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fallon then left, telling her he would see her during the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Thank God!&#8221; Curtis, still in character, said, &#8220;F&#8212;! What an a&#8212;hole!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The sketch perfectly captured many of the sometimes awkward conversations between Fielder and Holmes, who was accused of having defrauded investors.
