Actor Hugh Jackman teamed up over video chat with late-night host Jimmy Fallon to indulge in a weekly Shabbat tradition.
On a segment on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the comedian joined Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness in their separate kitchens to learn how to make challah.
Why? “It’s really easy but looks really impressive,” Jackman said.
Fallon’s attempt at braiding the dough was enough to remind viewers he should keep his day (night) job. Jackman told Fallon it took him 20 minutes to braid the challah off-screen before the segment.
While it baked, Fallon put on tap shoes to show off his moves to the Broadway icon. The two talked about how sad they were that Broadway shows have had to close during the pandemic. They also discussed Jackman’s new HBO film “Bad Education.”
“Look at us, men baking bread, so cool!” Fallon declared while checking on his challah in the oven. When Fallon’s daughter appeared, Jackman asked her to look at the bread and decide if her dad’s skills were good enough to braid her hair. She wasn’t all that impressed.
When Fallon took his challah out of the oven, he said, “This is the best thing I’ve ever made.”
