Kristen Wiig Appears on The Tonight Show as The Bachelorette and Reveals What Really Happens in the Fantasy Suite

Ghostbusters actress appears in character as JoJo Fletcher on The Tonight Show

JoJo Fletcher made her Tonight Show debut Wednesday...in the form of Kristen Wiig.

Jimmy Fallon invited Wiig to be his guest in Studio 6B. Per tradition (she's impersonated Michael Jordan, Harry Styles, Game of Thrones' Khaleesi and Peyton Manning before), Wiig arrived in character, this time as the ABC reality star. Unlike her Ghostbusters co-star Kate McKinnon, it didn't seem as though Wiig had ever seen an episode of the popular dating series.

As a result, Wiig was forced to improvise. The 42-year-old actress shared trivia ("JoJo is short for JoJosephina") and even got political. "I will never see a Star Wars movie. I am against any type of war in space," she explained. "I've talked about that. I've been pretty open about that."

Fallon began by asking about what really happens when Fletcher invites someone to join her in the fantasy suite. "The fantasy suite—that's where I go on dates. And we...close the door," Wiig said while suppressing her giggles. "Sometimes we kiss a little. Sometimes we'll rub each other. It's a show, so we have to pretend, but sometimes we...go all the way. Just so people know!"

Ben Higgins chose Lauren Bushnell over Fletcher in the season finale of The Bachelor's 20th season, so Fallon gave Wiig the opportunity to send her ex a message. "We don't talk…because he's married. I'm not supposed to say, but he's married," she revealed. "It's a secret!" Higgins isn't actually married, but that didn't stop Wiig from calling him out. "Ben, you know we went through a lot, and you promised me things," she said. "I just feel hurt. And look at me now!"

Fallon then showed Wiig pictures of Fletcher's final four suitors and asked her to name them. Wiig had no clue who Robby Hayes, Chase McNary, Luke Pell or Jordan Rodgers were—not that it mattered. She called Pell "Scotchie," because he drinks Scotch and loves butterscotch. Rodgers, meanwhile, was renamed Mark Hamill. "That's a person already!" Wiig said. "That's his nickname. Because he reminds me of Mark Hamill...from Star Wars? Look at him! He looks exactly like Luke Skywalker." After his real name was revealed, Wiig made another Star Wars reference and said she calls him "Jor-Jor Binks." After all, she said, he's "crazy about Star Wars."

McNary earned the nickname "Deucey," because "we were playing cards and he got a lot of deuces," Wiig revealed. "And then, it's like, he says, 'I'm going to go No. Deuce.' That's gross."

It was Hayes who Wiig liked most of all. She calls him "Korn," after the rock band, but Fallon had a hard time believing that was true. "You don' think that guy listens to Korn? Look at his shirt!" Wiig said. "That's what's so great about the show: You don't know what's really there."

After Fallon plugged his guest's latest movie (in theaters Friday), the improv segment ended with Wiig performing "Ghost, Will You Accept This Rose?" from the Ghostbusters soundtrack.
