NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (UPI) — Benedict Cumberbatch teamed up with Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” Thursday for a round Mad Lib Theater using words the actor came up with himself.
Cumberbatch, who was on hand to promote his latest film, Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange,” picked words and phrases such as Macy’s, badger and Mrs. Tate — the name of his favorite teacher — in order to fill out a Mad Libs game that would later be transformed into a scene about a robbery.
Cumberbatch then appeared as a cop with a funny accent who was interrogating Fallon about his involvement in a crime.
“One of the best parts about being a detective is I get to lock up criminals like you, and go home to my children and my pet badger, and say ‘This town needs an enema,'” the actor said inserting his words and a quote from 1989’s “Batman” into the scene that he had come up with earlier.
“Fine I did it, I committed the robbery,” Fallon admitted. “But I only did it because I needed the money to buy myself little toe implants.”
The skit ended with Cumberbatch breaking out in a rendition of “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” which previously he admitted to singing to his 1-year-old son.
The 40-year-old and his wife, Sophie Hunter, announced in October they are expecting a second child.
