'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' doesn't just feature perfect musical parodies. Far from it. It also delivers spot-on slam poetry parodies, as guest Samuel L. Jackson proved with his ode to 1990s sitcom 'Boy Meets World' on Monday night.
'Boy meets world. Boy greets world. Hello, world. I am Cory Matthews. Short and average, head full of curls, the year 1993. We see two boys who lack both brains and brawn....' began Jackson after a solemn introduction by Fallon, puffing on an e-cigarette.
Soon enough, Jackson is tapping on his chest, emoting: 'Topanga, Topanga, Topanga,' until it becomes a cri de coeur.
Fans loved it, of course, and said so on Twitter:
'Boy Meets World' is having something of a nostalgia renaissance lately, in part thanks to the Disney Channel spin-off 'Girl Meets World,' which focuses on some of the characters' lives years later. A photo tweeted from the show's set last month generated a lot of buzz when it showed some other favorite 'Boy' regulars appearing in a holiday-themed episode.
'Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' airs weeknights on NBC at 11:35 p.m.
