Jimmy Fallon Didn't Ask Talking Heads About A Possible Comeback, Causing Several Fan Theories
Just a few days ago, there was a lot to discuss between Jimmy Fallon and members of Taking Heads, which included David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison.
The group had much to discuss. Among the topics of conversation included the process that took place behind the scenes, creating their concert film Stop Make Sense. Talking Heas also discussed the likes of Paramore, Lorde and Miley Cyrus, contributing to their tribute album.
The band discussed what they were looking for with their anniversary release. Weymouth revealed to Fallon, “We said, ‘We don’t want all the gimmicks’. We wanted the cameras to be like a sensitive eye; the way an audience member would be seeing it, without the camera getting in the way and playing around.”
It was a great interview but, over in the comments, all fans were discussing was the possibility of a comeback tour, and why this wasn't asked by Jimmy Fallon. It was said that the band turned down as much as $80 million in the past for a brief reunion. It remains on the minds of many fans. However, it caused a debate whether or not Fallon should have asked. Some fans appreciated that Jimmy didn't ask the typical question, while other fans were genuinely looking for an answer.
- One of the most liked comments on the interview video sparked the debate, "He neglected to ask the number one question on everyone's minds which is if they'll ever do a show together."
- Fans responded:
- "They're not allowed to ask that. They've been making the rounds and I feel like another talk show host (Kimmel?? I can't keep it straight) tried to ask and it got awkward lol."
- "I don’t think there’s a single interview with any of the members from the past 30 years were they aren’t asked “Are you guys getting back together?” So I think maybe they finally stopped beating the dead horse."
- "Have you ever noticed that David and Tina are always kept as far away as possible from each other and never talk to each other? There's your answer."

A Talking Heads Reunion Was Teased On Instagram
Drummer Chris Frantz started the madness online of a potential return. Frantz captioned, "We shall return." The image posted had deep meaning, showing where they recorded their live movie and album, Stop Making Sense. Frantz didn't elaborate on the meaning of the post.
Fans debated the post on Reddit, but were quick to turn it down.
"What? No! They're returning to the Pantages for a screening and a live Q&A," one fan writes.
"Not gonna happen…but can you imagine how difficult/expensive these tickets would be?"
Martin Lawrence's "Troubled" Appearance Overshadowed Will Smith's Return To The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon
Fans quickly noticed that Martin Lawrence was struggling with Will Smith during his Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon interview.
It seems like earlier in the year, Coachella wanted a Talking Heads reunion just as much as the fans, and it is believed than an $80 million offer was made for a short tour. Nonetheless, the band stayed put.
Billboard writes, "Tollett tells Billboard he had traveled to Toronto to potentially discuss having the Talking Heads perform at Coachella and met with members of the band and their representatives, but that he “sensed there were no shows happening, so I didn’t make an offer.”
"The promoter told the Talking Heads it was willing to pay the band $80 million to headline six to eight festival gigs and headlining slots, sources close to the group say. The Talking Heads ultimately rejected that offer as well. Live Nation declined to comment when asked about the offer."
Fans are going to have to settle for the memories instead.
Talking Heads Recently Had A Tense Reunion Moment
Although a return isn't taking place, Talking Heads are all over the headlines these days. This time, another story emerged of Tina Weymouth stating that the band wasn't started by David alone, during a tense moment at the Brooklyn reunion.
Variety revealed, "While the Q&A was primarily a lovefest between the quartet, who shared frequently told anecdotes about the film’s complex production, shooting schedule and Byrne’s big suit that were common knowledge to most superfans who attended the sold-out event. Yet one moment while discussing the film’s narrative rattled the crowd."
Weymouth revealed, “It was really good and he created something that was like a narrative,” she said. “Even though it’s a false narrative: The band wasn’t started by David alone.”
The reaction was mixed following the statement. It included laughter, tension, and nervous applause. In the end, it got the fans talking, which is what matters most.
