Barbra Streisand Duet with Jimmy Fallon: Singer Makes Big Return to Late Night TV After 50-Year Break
Barbra Streisand made quite the comeback to late night TV on Monday when she wowed the crowd alongside Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on NBC.
After 50 years, Streisand performed songs from her new album "Partners," featuring duets with famous names like Elvis Presley, Blake Shelton and Michael Buble.
Barbra Streisand last appeared on evening television in 1967 when she was a guest on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." It was a refreshing surprise to watch the "Funny Girl" in action once again with one of today's most popular hosts.
Fallon introduced Streisand by announcing she was there to perform, shocking the audience with a little surprise of his own. "Of course Elvis is no longer with us," he explained. "So standing in for Elvis, Blake and Buble will be me."
Fallon even wore a wig and Elvis' famous red scarf as he impersonated each singer through his duet with Streisand.
After the performance as Barbra took over Jimmy's seat at the podium, she admitted, "Actually, I was very impressed with you. You're very good."
"I gotta be honest," Fallon replied. "I thought you might be a nightmare, or a diva. But, you were nice to everybody here. You are allowed to be a diva. What did you do with Barbara Streisand?!"
The Oscar winner says she's "quite ordinary" actually. "We lead a simple life. We don't really like the big-time stardom thing. We take little trips in a truck. My husband drives," she added, of life with husband James Brolin. The two proved to be a great team and Streisand ended her late night experience with Jimmy by carrying out a solo performance of "Come Rain or Come Shine."
