Star-Studded Laughter: Gal Gadot and Miley Cyrus Join Jimmy Fallon for a Hilarious Game of Charades

In a memorable episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Hollywood’s brightest stars lit up the stage with laughter, competitive energy, and plenty of surprising guesses as they took on the classic party game — Charades. This time, the spotlight was shared by none other than Gal Gadot and Miley Cyrus, who brought their charisma, unpredictability, and infectious energy to the game, making it one of the show’s most entertaining moments in recent memory.

A Lighthearted Start

The segment opened with Fallon enthusiastically explaining the rules to the audience and players: each team member would have 30 seconds to silently act out clues for their teammate to guess. After four rounds, the final fifth round would be a “charades showdown,” where both teams receive the same clue and compete to guess first.

Gal Gadot, the beloved actress known for her role as Wonder Woman, was invited to start the game. But as she admitted with a nervous laugh, she had never played charades before. That didn’t stop her from diving in with fearless energy. From the moment she stepped forward, the audience was captivated — not just by her charm, but by the unpredictability of her first attempt.

“Born to Run” — Or Born to Confuse?

Gal’s first clue was the Bruce Springsteen classic Born to Run, and it became immediately clear just how tricky charades could be for a first-timer. Her expressive miming was met with humorous confusion from Fallon, who guessed everything from “Birth of a Nation” to “Push It” before time ran out. Though the answer was missed, the room erupted in laughter, with Fallon assuring her, “That was fantastic,” even blaming himself for not guessing it right.

Their chemistry was easy and genuine, and it was clear that win or lose, the night was about the fun.

Miley Brings the Heat

Next up was pop sensation and actress Miley Cyrus, who, in contrast to Gal, seemed fully at ease with the game. Picking her lucky number (three), she confidently took her turn, and with just a few well-placed gestures, had her teammate guessing “Ring of Fire” in no time. The successful round triggered wild cheering from the audience and teammates alike. Fallon teased the over-the-top celebration, joking that no one celebrates like that — unless they just won the Super Bowl.

Miley’s mix of comedic timing and quick thinking gave her team an edge and kept the momentum alive.

Telepathy or Just Pure Luck?

The next few turns saw more surprising moments. One highlight was a nearly psychic performance where the answer, “It” — a single-word film title — was guessed instantly after the first gesture. The lightning-fast guess shocked everyone. Fallon shouted, “That was psychic!” as the audience gasped and cheered.

This moment of apparent telepathy — or extraordinary team intuition — quickly became a favorite among viewers. Fallon joked about the uncanny accuracy, and even Gal couldn’t hide her amazement.

Jurassic Joyride

The hilarity didn’t stop there. Another standout moment was when one team quickly guessed “Jurassic Park” based on just a couple of wild gestures. The guessing was so fast and accurate that Fallon burst into laughter and mocked the absurd simplicity of the moment. “Give me a break!” he exclaimed, echoing the thoughts of anyone who had ever struggled through a round of charades at a party.

These rounds showcased not only the competitive fun of the game but also the natural comedic rhythm between the players, elevating a simple party game into must-watch television.

The Charades Showdown: All or Nothing

As the final showdown approached, the excitement in the room was electric. For this last round, both Miley and Jimmy teamed up to act out a single clue at the same time, with their respective teammates trying to guess it. The clue was the Lionel Richie hit “Dancing on the Ceiling” — a deceptively simple-sounding phrase that proved surprisingly hard to convey without words.

What followed was a mix of enthusiastic gesturing, chaotic dancing, and rapid-fire guesses that ranged from “Dancing with the Stars” to “Dancing under the Stars.” Despite getting heartbreakingly close, the timer buzzed before either team could nail the final answer.

When “Dancing on the Ceiling” was finally revealed, everyone erupted into groans and laughter. “We were so close!” someone cried. But no one seemed too disappointed — the spirit of the game and the camaraderie among the players overrode any sense of defeat.

Everyone’s a Winner

In the end, Jimmy Fallon declared it a tie. “We’re all winners,” he shouted, and invited the audience to join in one final round of applause. It was a fitting conclusion to a game where laughter mattered far more than the scoreboard.

The segment wrapped with heartfelt thanks to Gal Gadot and Miley Cyrus, both of whom had brought their own brand of humor and enthusiasm to the table. Gal, despite her inexperience with the game, quickly won the crowd over with her willingness to dive in. Miley, with her quick wit and larger-than-life personality, provided the perfect balance. And Fallon, as always, was the glue holding it all together — encouraging, self-deprecating, and always quick with a joke.

Why It Worked

This charades segment worked not just because of the star power but because of the organic chemistry between the players. Fallon’s ability to make celebrities feel at ease, combined with the genuine fun that Gal and Miley brought to the table, made the game feel less like a staged television bit and more like friends goofing off at a house party.

Moreover, moments like the instant “It” guess, the hilarious misinterpretation of “Born to Run,” and the chaotic energy of the final round made it feel spontaneous and fresh. These are the types of unscripted, laugh-out-loud moments that make live TV so appealing in an era of heavily produced content.

Final Thoughts

What made this charades game truly special wasn’t just the laughs — though there were plenty — but the sense of community and fun. Watching Gal Gadot play charades for the first time, seeing Miley Cyrus throw herself into each round with abandon, and witnessing Jimmy Fallon’s exuberant reactions made for a delightful and memorable episode.

Sometimes, the best entertainment comes from the simplest games — especially when played by people who know how to have fun. Whether you’re a fan of comedy, music, or just need a good laugh, this segment proved once again that charades, when played right, can be the highlight of the night.
