Barb is back and she is not happy.
On the heels of Stranger Things’ season two renewal, the beloved character played by Shannon Purser in the Netflix drama made a special appearance in a Tonight Show parody Wednesday.
The three-and-a-half minute clip, jokingly described as a exclusive deleted scene from the series, sees fan-favorite Barb (played by Tonight Show writer A.D. Miles here) return from the Upside Down to confront the show’s younger actors about leaving her there.
When Barb is asked during the sketch if the return of her character mean’s she’s appearing on season two, Barb replied “No, because Barb is getting her own Netflix spinoff, Orange is the New Bitch.”
Reprising their characters in the spoof is Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas). Fallon, too, appears in the sketch doing his best “Steve” impression.
Fallon later played a game with the Stranger Things actors where they all sprayed one another with silly string. David Spade also appeared on the show, which featured a performance by Tove Lo.
