Madonna Climbs On Jimmy Fallon's Desk And Flashes Her Butt To The Audience In Bizarre Interview

Singer Madonna raised eyebrows during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last week—including the host's own—when their discussion took an abrupt, booty-baring shift that was right on brand for the pop icon.

While chatting about Madonna's artistic inspiration, she suddenly popped out of her chair and draped herself over Fallon's desk, who played along, acting flustered by the ever-provocative singer's spectacle.


Then for added effect, she flipped up her dress to flash her butt on her way back to her chair.

See the moment below.

Madonna was visiting Fallon's show to talk about her newly released tour documentary, Madame X, which chronicles the 63-year-old singer's 2019-2020 tour of the same name.

It was a most unlikely discussion that led to the bum-flashing incident on Fallon's desk: the writer and Civil Rights activist James Baldwin, whom Madonna cited as one of the greatest influences on her often political work.

"[H]e was a great source of inspiration for the show. And one of the things I quote over and over again in the show is that 'artists are here to disturb the peace.'"

The singer then joked:

"And so I hope that I have disturbed not only your peace this afternoon, but... people's peace while they watch the show--but I mean that in the best way."

Fallon then referenced late Democratic Congressman John Lewis to sum up the singer's boundary-breaking career and long history of activism.

"Yeah, you get in good trouble."

Seemingly to prove his point in the most chaotic way possible, Madonna nodded and launched herself across his desk as Fallon jumped up and tried to cover her with his jacket. She then exclaimed, "Nobody's gonna see anything!" before flashing her butt at the audience on the way back to her chair.

Madonna has made a career out of provocative stunts, especially those of a sexual nature, so the moment wasn't exactly out of character. But as ever with Madonna, the appearance proved divisive.

On Twitter, some applauded her.



But others were less than impressed, with most basing their criticisms on the singer's age.


Others cited the response to Madonna's appearance as proving the singer's oft-made point about ageism, particularly where women are concerned.






Madonna has faced criticism for being "too old" for her often provocative work since the early 1990s, when she was in her early 30s.

Despite this, she remains one of these best-selling female recording artists of all time and the fifth-highest selling artist over all, behind The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and Elton John.

Vance Makes Epically Ironic Dig At Past Presidents While Defending Trump For Bombing Iran

Vice President JD Vance appeared to have no sense of irony when he told NBC that President Donald Trump's attack on Iran is different from the U.S.'s past conflicts in the Middle East because, he said, Trump is unlike prior "dumb presidents."

Vance spoke after Trump authorized a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities, amid ongoing uncertainty about the status of Tehran’s nuclear program, saying the decision shows Trump "actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives."

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
