Imagine a man in a giant wig, wearing a tight 70s suit, screaming in a voice so high it could crack a window. That is Jimmy Fallon pretending to be the legendary Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees!
For years, Jimmy and his best friend Justin Timberlake have performed a hilarious sketch on Saturday Night Live called “The Barry Gibb Talk Show.”
In the skit, Jimmy plays a Barry who is always angry for no reason, while Justin sits perfectly still as his brother, Robin, looking totally bored. That is humorously influenced by people thinking Barry rules the Bee Gees and his brothers, and that they follow what he says!
They parody the Bee Gees’ famous style, from the gold chains to the chest hair, and especially that iconic high-pitched singing! The show has been a total fan favorite because it’s loud, silly, and filled with “disco fever”- style comedy. Watch one of the most fan-favourite episodes right here!
The Barry Gibb Talk Show: Bee Gees Singers – SNL
But here’s the coolest part: Barry once joined Jimmy for that skit.
Most stars might get annoyed if someone made fun of them, but not Barry Gibb! Instead of being upset, Barry showed the world he has a great sense of humor by “honoring” the parody. He actually joined the show to laugh along with them.
The coolest moment happened when Barry Gibb and Jimmy Fallon teamed up for a special video. They weren’t on the SNL stage this time; they were hanging out for a Halloween special. Barry stepped right into the fun, showing that he’s not just a serious rock star, but a guy who loves a good laugh.
Jimmy and Barry dress up in silly costumes, but what’s sillier is what they sing!
Barry always starts off with a weird sound, and Jimmy completes that weird sound by making a word out of it! Barry says “fah,” and Jimmy comes up with “Foohthball.” You HAVE to see what other words they come up with!
The Bee Gees are legendary, especially Barry Gibb. They get recognised in different ways, sometimes by an award and other times by comedic skits – both of them make us smile and enjoy! Follow Barry Gibb for more amazing content.
