Jimmy Fallon took Matthew McConaughey s film class at the University of Texas at Austin and pretty much failed right off the bat. The Tonight Show host wore a Yankees hat and lunged at gummy worms as if he were a fish in Thursdays bit.

But the Oscar-winning actor passed Fallon anyway perhaps because of McConaugheys big ol Texas heart. Or maybe because it made for a nice segue into Fallon leading the campus audience in the alma mater song The Eyes of Texas .

McConaughey, a proud UT alum, really is a teacher at the school. He was appointed as a professor of practice by the university in August after years of serving as a visiting instructor.

Hopefully hell never have another pupil like Fallon.

Watch the fun above.
