Your support makes all the difference.Mick Jagger showed Jimmy Fallon how to make the most out of quarantine in a spoof PSA clip.
The Rolling Stone appeared on Fallon’s show on Monday to support Save the Children, a humanitarian aid organisation.
“This pandemic is affecting everyone across the globe,” Fallon said to introduce the video.
“Check out this thing I saw earlier today on BBC.”
A faux news clip then began playing, showing Jagger playing his guitar while a narrator comments: “In times of international crisis, every man, woman, and child must pull their weight. But look at this fella: not a care in the world.”
Jagger is then urged to put down his guitar and tackle “all those chores you’ve been putting off”.
He can be seen performing a few repairs, chopping vegetables, herding sheep, tending to his garden, doing some exercise, and reading the local French newspaper La Nouvelle République while cuddling a cat.
The narrator then adds: “Even the cat’s impressed with a good job well done.”
Fallon, like many other late-night hosts, has been hosting his show from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Recent guests who have joined the programme remotely include Annie Lennox, Evan Rachel Wood, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis.
