Jimmy Fallon & Julia Louis-Dreyfus Face Off In ‘Tonight Show’ Whisper Challenge

Jimmy Fallon and Julia Louis-Dreyfus gave whole new meaning to the term “earmuffs!” on Wednesday night.

The “Veep” star visited Jimmy on “The Tonight Show” to face off in “The Whisper Challenge,” which had the stars taking turns wearing a set of headphones with music playing to block out the sound and trying to read the lips of the other saying a random phrase.

“Is there a prize?” Julia asked.

“A T-shirt,” Jimmy quipped.

First up – Jimmy said the phrase “salted peanuts” to a headphone-wearing Julia.

Proving she shouldn’t quit her day job to become a professional lip reader, Julia guessed… “sausage penis.”

It was then Jimmy’s turn to drown out the sound in the studio, as Julia said the phrase “Uptown Funk You Up.”

“You can’t say that!” Jimmy exclaimed, before somehow actually guessing the right phrase.

Could Julia guess the right phrase when Jimmy said “Hoda Kotb”? Watch the clip to find out!
