Tina Fey Plays the First-Ever BOX OF LIES Against Jimmy Fallon
The 2013 segment marked the very first time the guessing game aired on the program.
Tina Fey appeared on THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING Jimmy Fallon for the first-ever installment of Box of Lies, a segment in which the host and his guest take turns trying to stump each other about what items are hidden inside mystery boxes. The clip, resurfacing now as part of the channel's Fallon Flashback series, originally aired on September 26, 2013.
The format has Fey and Fallon each describing an object concealed in a box without being able to see it themselves, leaving the other person to determine by touch and description whether the claim is true or a bluff. As the segment that introduced the game to the show, this early round set the template for the back-and-forth guessing and reactions that would come to define Box of Lies in later episodes.
The appearance centers entirely on the game itself rather than a traditional sit-down conversation, with Fey and Fallon trading turns describing and probing the contents of their respective boxes for the studio audience.
The video is being shared now as an archival look back at one of the show's recurring bits in its earliest form, giving viewers a chance to see how the segment played out the first time Fey and Fallon took part in it together.
