Given that he is one of the biggest celebrities on the planet, Will Smith knows the value of making a grand entrance. Thursday night on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the Suicide Squad actor made not one, not two, but instead four spectacular entrances until he finally got it just right.
On the first entrance, the 47-year-old Grammy winner did the usual introduction as he waved to the crowd, and clapped to the music. He felt the introduction was ok, but that the audience wanted more from him. In an unusual situation, Smith asked Fallon if he could have a do-over.

“That was good, that’s a really, really good introduction,” Smith stated. “They seem excited, but I think I can do better. They deserve a better entrance than that.”
Smith then walked back behind the blue curtain, and gave the entrance another shot. Fallon delivering his opening introduction and Smith then rolled out in a giant Zorb plastic ball, and nearly steamrolled The Roots band in the process.
While this entrance was better, it was not quite up to snuff for Smith’s standards. He returned behind the blue curtain for a second time, and then came back out in a disco dance line to an infectious groove played by The Roots. Fallon claimed that this entrance was once again great, but Smith still was not quite satisfied.
“I gotta GIVE IT to ’em,” Smith exclaimed to Fallon. On the last entrance, Smith did just that. As the blue curtain opened for a fourth time, a gospel choir erupted in a song about Smith’s entrance. The actor then rode in on a white horse onto a red carpet in what had to be the most awesome entrance the Tonight Show has ever had.
