On _The Tonight Show_, Fallon mentioned hearing the interview and the second he told the audience he didn’t understand it, Clarkson appeared onstage. The duo then cut loose with another installment of Fallon’s “History of…” musical project that has seen the host rap with[ Justin Timberlake](http://time.com/3710405/snl-40-justin-timberlake-and-jimmy-fallon-rap-the-history-of-snl/) and mom dance [with Michelle Obama](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/02/23/michelle-obama-busts-a-move-with-jimmy-fallon/).
