Bad Bunny, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Jimmy Fallon created a scene that was part comedy show and part language lesson on live TV. The Puerto Rican artist, fresh off the release of his latest album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, stepped into the co-host seat on The Tonight Show and turned a routine interview into a bilingual spectacle that left viewers in stitches — and Fallon in the hot seat.

The night’s special guest was Karla Sofía Gascón, the breakout star of Emilia Pérez, whose performance has been generating serious Oscar buzz. But before the conversation could dive into her film, language became the unintended star of the show.

Bad Bunny and Gascón naturally slipped into Spanish, leaving Fallon scrambling to keep up. At one point, the host playfully asked for a translator, prompting Gascón to suggest that conducting the entire interview in Spanish might be a good way for Fallon to practice.

“Buenas noches,” Fallon managed to say, laughing off the suggestion, but Bad Bunny wasn’t about to let him off the hook that easily.

Bad Bunny Calls Out Fallon’s Spanish Skills on ‘The Tonight Show’

In his signature deadpan style, Bad Bunny seized the moment to poke fun at Fallon’s efforts to learn Spanish.

“How many times have I been on this show?” he asked.

“About six times,” Fallon replied.

“And you still have the same Spanish as the first day,” Bad Bunny quipped, pretending to be exasperated.

The playful exchange kept the audience entertained, but it also highlighted a broader theme. Language barriers, cultural connections, and the importance of representation all came into focus.

Bad Bunny, known for effortlessly moving between Spanish and English in his music, showed once again that he’s not just a global music icon — he’s also a cultural bridge.

Karla Sofía Gascón’s Oscar Hopes Shine Bright

While Fallon’s Spanish lesson stole the show, Gascón’s presence was no less significant. The Spanish actress, celebrated for her role in Emilia Pérez, has become a standout figure this awards season.

Critics have praised her performance as both daring and heartfelt, with nominations from major film festivals to back it up. Now, all eyes are on the delayed Oscar nominations, scheduled for January 23, to see if Gascón will make the final cut.

The anticipation is palpable, especially given the challenges surrounding this year’s awards season. Wildfires ravaging Los Angeles have caused delays, but they haven’t dimmed the hopes of Gascón’s supporters.

A Night That Was More Than Just Laughs

The evening was a reminder of how language can connect and divide, sometimes in unexpected ways. For Bad Bunny, it was an opportunity to flex his bilingual skills while gently encouraging Fallon to improve his.

For Gascón, it was another step in her journey toward recognition in Hollywood. Despite the chatter about her English, her performance speaks for itself. The road to the Oscars is rarely smooth, but Gascón seems well on her way, leaving a lasting impression on both fans and critics alike.

As for Fallon, he might want to consider some Spanish lessons before Bad Bunny’s next appearance.
