Jimmy Fallon Pays Tribute To Prince With Unbelievable Ping-Pong Story

That time Fallon got served.

After taking on Prince in ping-pong, Jimmy Fallon knows firsthand what it sounds like when doves cry.

In honor of the late singer, the comedian and Questlove shared a story about the time Prince challenged Fallon to table tennis. It happened around when Fallon's daughter Winnie was born. Questlove got a text that "he," aka Prince, wanted to play Fallon in ping-pong. Despite recently having a baby and later being at dinner, Fallon dropped everything and showed up at Susan Sarandon 's ping-pong club, SPiN, to accept the music icon's challenge.

The rest of the story is so ridiculous that you need to hear it from Fallon himself, but it all culminates with Questlove showing up late and running to Prince's car to find out what happened. Let's just say the singer simply replied, "Ask your boy."

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.
