  • -Here he is, Blake Shelton. Oh, my gosh, this is fantastic.

  • -Whoo! Jimmy! -Nice to see you.

  • Nice to see you, buddy.

  • Where are you?

  • You got a lot of animals back there.

  • -I'm in Oklahoma at my place here.

  • And what did you say, I got a lot of animals?

  • I do have a dog --

  • -Yeah, I saw -- -Betty, come here.

  • Come here. -I saw a dog, aw.

  • -I got Betty here. -That's a beautiful dog.

  • Oh, my -- oh, what a good dog.

  • -Oh, my God, your breath smells like Jimmy.

  • -Oh, my gosh. Who are you there with?

  • Who are you being safe with?

  • -We are quarantined with a bunch of Stefanis.

  • I'm talking about a pile of them.

  • It's me and a bunch of Stefanis.

  • My mom and stepdad live,

  • I don't know, about 10 miles from here.

  • I haven't seen them since the middle of March,

  • except for waving at them, you know,

  • through the truck window.

  • And that's about it.

  • We haven't left.

  • -Yeah, it's kind of -- it's weird.

  • -I had to cancel my tour.

  • We were in Omaha, Nebraska.

  • And we were actually building the production that day.

  • And finally just decided, that's when pretty much the bottom

  • was falling out of all touring and any live events.

  • And so we just cancelled, and Gwen and I

  • immediately came here and we have not left.

  • -What have you been doing

  • with all -- with your downtime?

  • It feels like the days go fast, really, huh?

  • -Oh, my God, they do.

  • They go by so fast.

  • And a lot of us, because I black out normally around

  • 5:30 or 6:00 or something --

  • yeah, you like my hat, by the way?

  • -Get closer, I can't see it. -"I drank today."

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • Hey, that's not bad.

  • -That's pretty much all we do, you know?

  • Gwen has learned how to bake bread

  • really good, sourdough bread.

  • We're just -- literally it's like, you know,

  • "Little House on the Prairie" out here.

  • Like, she makes bread.

  • I've been building a fence and gardening.

  • And we're pretty self-sufficient out here.

  • As a matter of fact, I don't know --

  • this interview, I wanted to do it,

  • but we actually have a schedule

  • that we already had lined out for today.

  • And I don't think we can put it off any longer.

  • It's up to you, if you just want to go ahead and start.

  • -Hey, Jimmy. -Oh, my -- yay! Finally!

  • -We talked a lot about this.

  • Yeah, I'm going to be helping Blake grow out his mullet.

  • So, you know, today we already scheduled it was haircut day.

  • So, I have my clippers.

  • I got my attachments. -Oh, my God.

  • -I got to get a haircut.

  • But go ahead with your questions

  • 'cause you're a very good, interesting interviewer.

  • And I don't want to miss... -Oh, my God.

  • -...any of the good things that you got to ask me.

  • -Thank gosh you took off that camouflaged jacket

  • 'cause I didn't -- I noticed

  • I didn't think you had arms for a second.

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • -Oh, my God.

  • Are you gonna give him a mullet? Please give him a mullet.

  • Please. -Yeah.

  • -Blake, this is really interesting --

  • I love seeing Gwen cut your hair.

  • This is fantastic.

  • I love this.

  • Hey, are you guys, like -- do you guys give,

  • like, give each other inspiration

  • on new music, like, different music?

  • 'Cause I know you have different backgrounds musically.

  • Like, what have you --

  • what music are you listening to, Gwen,

  • that you wouldn't have listened to before Blake and vice versa?

  • -The music that Blake turned me on to,

  • it's called country music.

  • Yeah, I hadn't really listened to much of that

  • on my ska playlist.

  • But it's been fun learning about country music,

  • and all the different --

  • He's literally an encyclopedia jukebox, like a weirdo.

  • Like a weirdo with the knowledge.

  • -Every country? -This guy, he knows everything.

  • Like -- and we do games with him where we'll

  • just, like, play, like,

  • a little tiny taste of a song to see if he will know it.

  • And we won't know what it is.

  • We'll just look it up on, like, the Internet.

  • And he'll know it.

  • -The only time I've ever been stumped on that,

  • is on your show, whenever y'all played something --

  • like the "Welcome Back, Kotter" version of "Hollaback Girl"

  • or whatever it was.

  • I didn't know -- -"Welcome back, Kotter" version?

  • You didn't even know your girlfriend's song at the time.

  • -No, it was -- y'all played some weird version of it

  • I never heard of before.

  • -I forgave him, though. -Yeah.

  • -Blake, who -- what is the Conway Twitty song

  • where he sounds like Elvis?

  • -Oh, that's -- ♪ People see us everywhere

  • -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • ♪ -They think you really ♪ "It's Only Make Believe."

  • That's it. -I love that song.

  • -It was a pop rock song.

  • That's what he had his first success with.

  • And then later, he went country.

  • -I would love it if Gwen would not come back

  • and just left you with that haircut.

  • -What did he say?

  • -I said Conway started out rock and pop and then went country

  • kind of like Gwen Stefani. -Oh, yeah.

  • -Gwen has a country hit right now.

  • We have a duet. -Whoo!

  • -Who would have ever thought Gwen Stefani on country radio?

  • -I know. I love it.

  • I think it's so -- Do you love singing it, Gwen?

  • It comes -- It feels natural.

  • -It was one of those songs that I was like,

  • "Wow, you just" -- these songs come to Blake.

  • They're so incredible.

  • And I was dreaming that I could be on it.

  • We were working out together in the gym.

  • And I was like, "Man, I wish you'd put me on this one."

  • He actually turned the song off and goes,

  • "Dang, I wish I would put you on this one."

  • And then he did. So here we are.

  • -Was it written as a duet when it first --

  • -It wasn't. It was just -- No, it wasn't, was it?

  • -No, but what's crazy is that one of the writers,

  • Shane, had sent me the song to give to Blake.

  • Like, one of those, he had my text

  • and he wanted me to give it to him.

  • So it was a weird coincidence, the whole thing.

  • -Are you getting him into ska music at all?

  • -I tried. I made him a ska playlist.

  • We were listening to a bunch of reggae and UB-40.

  • We were building actually a garden out here the other day.

  • We had, like, everybody on it, pulling rocks and planting.

  • And we were listening to a lot of that music that day.

  • So, did you like it? -Yes.

  • -You got to get him to --

  • -We had Steel Pulse playing, Jimmy.

  • That's a band you probably never heard of.

  • But they're very popular in the ska world.

  • -I know Steel Pulse.

  • My jam is "Ghost Town."

  • Is that Specials? -Yeah.

  • -Blake, you'd like that one, I think.

  • -Yeah, I do. That's the one that goes...

  • [ Vocalizes ]

  • You're right. I do love that song.

  • -Oh, my God, Gwen, I don't know how you put up with this dude.

  • -Just learning, Jimmy, but I already know that much.

  • -Can you come closer to the camera

  • so I can see your haircut?

  • -Closer up. -Yeah.

  • -Like shamish.

  • -How's the mullet? Is the mullet getting long in the back?

  • -Not long enough, man. You can get it longer.

  • But it's getting close.

  • I like those sides coming off.

  • This looks really good.

  • I've never seen you like this.

  • -You know, to be able to do this to the greatest,

  • all-time greatest country star.

  • -Whoo! ♪ People see us everywhere

  • -We're highlighting a different charity

  • from everyone that's on our show tonight.

  • -Yeah. -And you chose MusiCares.

  • -Yeah.

  • -So if you go to grammy.com/musicares --

  • It's a long -- it's a lot of words.

  • I'll just put it up on the screen.

  • -Put it up on the screen.

  • -Hey, really quickly, can we talk about

  • "The Voice" while you're getting your haircut?

  • -Let's do it. No, what's scary is

  • we're going to have to do "The Voice"

  • in some fashion like this, because obviously, you know,

  • the live shows are coming up here in just a matter of weeks.

  • And especially in L.A.,

  • we're not going to be ready to, you know,

  • to have events again.

  • So it's going to be crazy.

  • We're going to have to coach like this.

  • It's just going to have to work out this way.

  • It's going to be nuts.

  • -Have you talked about it?

  • Have you -- do you have a plan? -Yeah, a little bit.

  • I think they do.

  • I just kind of like --

  • Gwen's brother actually set up this computer

  • and this interview and everything for me today

  • because I clearly don't know how to do this stuff.

  • So I think they have a plan, and they're going to tell me

  • when to be at the computer.

  • And I -- you know, I'll listen to them

  • I guess perform, and then give them some pointers.

  • And I don't know.

  • This is a --

  • we're having to do things that -- how does it look?

  • -I think it looks good.

  • -You look like you're really handling

  • this whole quarantine well.

  • -Is that a joke about my weight?

  • That's a fat joke, isn't it, Jimmy?

  • That's a fat joke, isn't it?

  • -No, it's not -- -You're right, though.

  • -It's not that at all.

  • It's just -- -Is that a good angle?

  • -Oh, my God. No, no, no.

  • I'm -- Dude, you gone punk.

  • Your hair's punk.

  • Crazy, man. That's what happens to a man.

  • -Love it.

  • -We get to see the real Blake Shelton, finally.

  • -Hey, will you -- one last request,

  • will you put a J

  • and an F here for Jimmy Fallon?

  • Please?

  • Please, please. -Sure.

  • -I'm so happy to see both of you guys,

  • and I got to tell everyone watching at home,

  • "Nobody But You" is the song from the album

  • "Fully Loaded: God's Country," but it is so beautiful,

  • and you guys do it so well, and I actually --

  • I showed it to my wife earlier today.

  • 'Cause you guys just recorded it for us, thank you.

  • But I loved it. Great performance.

  • -We did, just for you. -I know, my name --

  • I think you mentioned my name, "Hey, Jimmy," I think you said.

  • -I'm literally putting your initials

  • in my head right now, Jimmy.

  • I'm not kidding.

  • -See, these are why these shows are fun

  • because you would never do this in real life.

  • -She just said they're not showing up very well

  • because of the gray.

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • -Oh, no, that looks terrible. -Blake, get right in there.

  • Get real close so I can really see it.

  • Yeah. -There's the F,

  • and here's the J. -Oh, my gosh.

  • Dude, you are so "Tiger King" right now, you have no idea.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • I love you guys,

  • and stay safe, okay? -We love you.

  • Thanks for having us on "The Tonight Show" today.

  • -I love you guys. "The Tonight Show" today.

  • Come back, can't wait to see you in person again.

  • I miss you, guys. -Love you, buddy.

  • -Thank you, guys. Thank you. -See ya.

-Here he is, Blake Shelton. Oh, my gosh, this is fantastic.
