Pitbull on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon - H 2014

Beer pong-obsessed Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon upped his game on Thursday, challenging Pitbull to a game of giant beer pong. However, things didn’t go quite as Fallon had hoped.

The rapper, who graced the cover of the The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, went on to talk about a ball game of a much bigger scale, as he told Fallon what it was like to perform with Jennifer Lopez at the opening ceremony of the World Cup last week. 

“Who would ever have thought that the talk of the performance would be some rolled up pants?” he marveled.

Over on ABC, Australian actor Eric Bana admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that he was in America to escape the winter down under, and revealed that life in his home country is not always as it seems.

“The stuff that you think will kill you — like huge Huntsman spiders — don’t kill you, but the little stuff you can’t see is what is going to kill you,” he advised. 

Bana currently stars in the demonic horror film Deliver Us From Evil, in which even zoo animals become possessed. “I think all monkeys are possessed by the devil,” or at least baboons, he claimed.

Earlier on the show, Kimmel came up with a simple solution to the issue over the Washington Redskins’ offensive name — simply to put an “F” to make them the “Fredskins,” which somehow managed to anger Fred Willard, who came on the show to express his angst.

With the World Cup in full flow, not all American viewers understand what is going on in the global tournament. “I’ve played soccer all my life and am obsessed and watch as many of the games as possible … but I don’t know any of these people,” said a confused Paul Rudd, who tried to figure out some of the international rules and foreign players with David Letterman when he went on the Late Show.

When Dave Chappelle made his first appearance on the Late Show in 10 years on Tuesday night, David Letterman‘s main concern wasn’t why he hadn’t visited in so long — but why he walked away from his own Comedy Central show in 2005.

“Technically, I never quit — I am seven years late for work. It’s like divorce in the ’50s, you go out for cigarettes and don’t come back,” said the comedian. 

As for his impromptu trip to South Africa at the time, “I was there for two weeks, there aren’t too many hiding places in America,” explained Chappelle. “I don’t know if it was mysterious, it’s like living in the corner of perception and reality. When everyone thought Wesley Snipes was in jail, I saw him at a party.”

Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon also talked about adventures abroad and revealed that when she was as a teenage model in London, she didn’t realize she was living in a brothel. “All the girls were very pretty and every room had a theme.”

She went on to shoot down rumors about her own relationship status: “I am not married to Tom Cruise!” 

Over on ABC, L.A. Kings fan Jimmy Kimmel said in his monologue that “watching the Stanley Cup Finals is like Game of Thrones because it is violent and you can’t see who anyone is behind their beards.”

Guest Gerard Butler had some wild adventures of his own, telling a story of how when he was in Australia a tribal elder from the Uluru tribe showed him how to throw a boomerang — but it never came back. The Scottish actor was also dropped in the middle of the ocean by a helicopter and left bleeding into the water from coral cuts while fishing. “You were just bait at this point,” quipped Kimmel. 

VIDEO: ‘Dumb and Dumber To’ Trailer Debuts

After debuting the new trailer for Dumb and Dumber To, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels teamed up with Jimmy Fallon for a new edition of the Tonight Show‘s real people, fake arms bit.

Later on NBC, Seth Meyers welcomed his old Saturday Night Live colleague Aidy Bryant, who talked about being propositioned by SNL host Drake.

50 Cent Laughs at His ‘Worst Pitch Ever’ With Jimmy Kimmel (Video)

50 Cent Jimmy Kimmel -- H 2014

Rather than be known for his 30 million albums sold globally and 14 Grammy nominations, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson may go down in history for throwing out the worst first baseball pitch ever

Fortunately, the rapper can laugh about his terrible throw at the Mets game on May 27, and told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday that he felt “intense pressure… there is a ghost of old pitchers who don’t want you up there.

“The worst part was watching the catcher’s face,” said 50 Cent, crouching down to mimic the disbelief as his throw went far left.

“One thing you don’t have at the house is a pitcher’s mound,” quipped the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host when talking about 50 Cent’s mansion, which boasts its own nightclub. 

In his opening monologue, Kimmel pointed out everyone in Los Angeles is focused on different sport — the NHL Finals between the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers. “More people are pretending to care about hockey than ever.”

After apologizing all week for his gay slur to a paparazzo, Jonah Hill finally got to talk about 22 Jump Street on Late Night, saying that his perfect formula for filmmaking is for “these movies be so bad that the fact that they are decent is makes them look really good … We bash ourselves for making a sequel,” he explained.

As for taking his mom to the premiere of Wolf of Wall Street, “It’s all fun and games until you pull your c— out” onscreen,” he told Seth Meyers.

On CBS, David Letterman welcomed Tony Awards host Hugh Jackman, who said hosting the awards was  “not as much pressure as the Oscars.” 

To relax, the X-Men: Days of Future Past star took his son fly fishing in Montana. However, he says it was really to prepare for his upcoming Broadway role in The River. “I’ve got until the play opens until my son realized that what we went on was a research trip, not a father-son trip.”  

On NBC,   Jimmy Fallon reveled in viewers’ #WorstSummerJob, which included selling cars, shoveling peanut butter into a dumpster, and selling dad’s homemade shampoo.
