Jimmy Fallon cuts off Big Justice’s insight into controversial 'boom meter' rating system
The segment was notably uncomfortable, particularly when Jimmy Fallon abruptly interrupted his guest Big Justice just as he was asked to elaborate on his notorious "Boom meter" rating, Daily Mail reported.
"You have something on your channel called the Boom meter, can you explain how the Boom meter works Big Justice?" the presenter inquired.
Big Justice responded, "So, we did this thing, 'boom or doom.' But everybody got like, 'You don't give any dooms,' blah, blah, blah. Right?"
"Well, we came up with the boom meter 'cause people rate stuff 1 to 10. So, we said, it goes from one to five booms. If it's good: four booms, okay: two booms, bad: one boom, amazing: five big booms," he explained.
At that moment, Big Justice, Dad AJ, and The Rizzler were poised to simultaneously shout "five booms," but Fallon intervened to prevent them.
"Okay," Fallon interrupted. "Yeah, five booms." He then advanced the segment so that his guests could rate Halloween candy using their "boom" rating system.

Another added, "I have never hated Jimmy Fallon more than this very moment. He does not appreciate the joy or whimsy of the Costco Guys, or even the Rizzler. He cuts them off, he disregards the love they have to give the world. I hope he goes to Hell the moment he takes his final breaths."

Andrew and Eric Befum capture hearts with 'boom' reviews
The father-and-son team, AJ and Big Justice, whose real names are Andrew and Eric Befum, have become an internet sensation with their Costco product reviews, where they give approval or disapproval through their unique "boom" rating system.
The Rizzler, not affiliated with AJ and Big Justice, is renowned for his social media presence.
The third grader, whose real name is Christian Joseph, rose to fame on TikTok after posting a video in which he was dressed as the Black Panther. He is also recognized for "the rizz face," a gesture that includes pouting and rubbing his chin.
In June, it was announced that Jimmy had extended his contract to continue hosting the NBC late-night talk show until 2028. This renewal occurred almost one year after allegations surfaced from 16 current and former staff members accusing him of fostering a "toxic work environment."
