He’s [smashed eggs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6jb0cOYqAI) onto the head of Tom Cruise. He’s [thrown water](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI2EfnJAr1E) directly into the face of Lindsay Lohan. He [hurled sticky balls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sh-mATW4wQ) at a velcro-covered Channing Tatum. His latest—and most ferocious—coup: Smacking Ryan Reynolds in the face with a massive prosthetic hand. Last night, Reynolds stopped by _The Tonight Show_ to promote his new movie, _Mississippi Grind_, in which he plays a smooth-talking gambler. To prove he was worth his salt in card-sharking, Fallon asked Reynolds to engage in a friendly game of Slapjack, yet another one of Fallon’s twisted divertissements. This particular game, as Fallon explained it, “works the same as blackjack, but at the end of each round, the winner gets to slap the loser across the face with a giant prosthetic hand.” Naturally, Reynolds soon found himself knocked to the ground by the large, fleshy palm, the latest victim of Fallon’s malevolent mind. _Mississippi Grind_ hits theaters this Friday, Sept. 25. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4044207/jimmy-fallon-ryan-reynolds-hand-face/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4044207/jimmy-fallon-ryan-reynolds-hand-face/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Fallon Smack Ryan Reynolds In the Face","datePublished":"2015-09-22T15:09:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:06.218Z","description":"The two engaged in a friendly game of Slapjack","url":"https://time.com/4044207/jimmy-fallon-ryan-reynolds-hand-face/","keywords":["Newsfeed"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel Handler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4044207/jimmy-fallon-ryan-reynolds-hand-face/","name":"Watch Jimmy Fallon Smack Ryan Reynolds In the Face"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"100 Years of Blockbusters in 5 Minutes","description":"Time has taken the highest grossing film each year for the past century and crammed them into 5 and a half minutes.
