Jimmy Fallon and Jamie Lee Curtis Spoof Nathan Fielder's 'You Can See Everything'

Jimmy Fallon played Nathan Fielder and Jamie Lee Curtis played Elizabeth Holmes on Wednesday night's cold open of "The Tonight Show," spoofing A24's hit documentary "You Can See Everything." Curtis wore a blonde wig and did the stare. Fallon did the halting interrogation. It worked about as well as these things ever do.

"Now, be honest. Do you really want to be on the show tonight?" Fallon asked, in his best Fielder impression — the flat, forensic delivery Fielder has made a career of. "Of course I do. I love talking to you," Curtis replied, holding unblinking eye contact in a Holmes-like voice.

What happened in the sketch?

The parody compressed the documentary's central dynamic into one exchange. Fallon's Fielder pressed on motive: "So, you're not just here to promote your new show, 'Newlyweds'?" Curtis's Holmes denied it with the founder's signature certainty: "No, I'm engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that. There's nothing for me to deceive you on."

"Good chat," Fallon concluded, before one last question: "You're being real right now?" "I'm always being real," Curtis answered. The punchline landed after Fallon exited: "Thank God! Fuck, what an asshole!" — Curtis yelling it at his back, the mask dropping a beat too late to matter.

Why was Curtis on the show?

She was promoting "Newlyweds," her new NBC sitcom that premiered Oct. 23. The series stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, and its logline describes "a later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship."

Curtis appears in a recurring guest star role and also co-created the show with Gail Lerner. Lerner was fired from the series earlier this month over what NBC characterized as "creative differences." In a statement when the news broke, Lerner called the job "the most joyous TV experience of my life." A firing framed that warmly is its own kind of Hollywood documentary. Nobody has optioned it yet.

How big is 'You Can See Everything'?

Big enough to spoof. The film debuted in theaters Oct. 16 and has grossed $45.1 million domestically to date, a strong figure for a theatrical documentary in 2025 — roughly the territory where nonfiction stops being a niche play.

Fielder and co-director Lance Oppenheim quietly worked on the movie for more than three years. It offers what the source calls an unhinged look at Theranos founder Holmes, filmed a month before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors. The deflection in Curtis's sketch — "There's nothing for me to deceive you on" — is essentially the Theranos defense rendered as a late-night punchline, which suggests the film's portrait has already seeped into the mainstream.

The full cold open is available online. Expect the Fielder stare to join the ranks of impressions that outlive the show that spawned them — and expect A24 to keep the box-office receipts quiet for exactly no reason at all.
