Mark Wahlberg stopped by The Tonight Show to promote his latest movie with Will Ferrell, Daddy’s Home, due out Christmas Day. While Jimmy Fallon and Wahlberg had some fun playing “Random Object Football Toss, they did discuss some things of extra historic significance, like when Wahlberg met Pope Francis in Philadelphia back in September.
“You just hang out with Pope,’’ Fallon joked, talking about Wahlberg’s being a “cool’’ dude. “You’re like, ‘Yeah that’s cool, I don’t care, yeah, it’s cool, hanging out with the Pope.’’’
Ah, but plot twist! The Pope had no idea who Mark Wahlberg was.
“Come on, that’s not true,’’ Fallon said.
But, indeed, it is.
“It’s true, he hasn’t watched television since, like, 1980,’’ Wahlberg said.
