Farrell’s first confession: “When I was a late teen I got brought in for questioning as a suspect in an attempted murder.” “This is like the _Jinx!_” Fallon says, as they pressure him for details. It is, in fact, a true story, but Farrell wasn’t guilty, as he explains, he was on the other side of town doing ecstasy at the time. “I got my head stuck in a fence and my grandma used mayonnaise to squeeze me out,” Fallon confesses. And it’s true, he was stuck for about an hour when he was a young boy, which is why he doesn’t like mayonnaise today. Vaugh, meanwhile, reads off his card explaining that he was once in a production of _The King and I_, but when questioned about what he sang, he plays it off quite well to make Farrell incorrectly believe he’s lying. The best part of the bit, as we’ve learned over the course of Fallon’s reign of _The Tonight Show,_ is watching him crack up when he’s trying to be serious. _True Detective_ season two premieres on HBO June 21 at 9pm EST.
