The particular episode stands out for a unique reason - fans couldn't get enough of the sheer joy as Fallon and Cooper completely lost it, breaking into uncontrollable laughter non-stop.
The giggles won't stop
Cooper's plan was to discuss his portrayal of the titular character in the Broadway play, 'The Elephant Man', but things took an unexpected turn as the duo found themselves unable to contain their laughter for over 10 minutes.
Despite their best efforts, the interview became a hilarious struggle, with both struggling to keep a straight face amid bursts of laughter.
Further in the show, the duo engaged in Egg Russian Roulette, with flying yolks leaving them in stitches but laughter continued throughout the sit-down interview, intensified by the silly visor look Bradley introduced.
They found themselves caught in a fit of giggles without any apparent humorous remarks, the source of their laughter remaining a mystery, as it appears to be instigated by a third person in on the joke.
Speaking to Fallon about the play, Cooper harbored a profound motivation for taking on the project, tracing back to its role in sparking his interest in acting.
Reflecting on the pivotal moment, he shared, "It was that movie, when I was a kid. 'The Elephant Man'. John Hurt. That was the crystalized moment, where I thought, 'Oh, I really need to do this for a living'".
Netizens have found the old interview particulary funny, with one commenting, "My absolute favorite interview! I queue this up when I, or my loved ones, need cheering up. Works every time! #JimmyFallon #BradleyCooper".
