When Billy Joel is visiting your show, it’s hard to resist breaking out into one of his many signature songs.

With Joel and J.K. Simmons as guests, Fallon and the rest of the gang broke out into a cover of “For the Longest Time,” with Joel and Fallon taking turns singing the melody and Simmons lending his rich basso to the lower notes. As Fallon himself said, “That’s the way to do it.”
