--- --- # Kevin Spacey Got Stuffed Into a Phone Booth With Some Surprise Guests on _The Tonight Show_ by [Ian Goldstein/EW](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Ian Goldstein/EW Aug 15, 2015 4:25 PM UTC by [Ian Goldstein/EW](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Ian Goldstein/EW Aug 15, 2015 4:25 PM UTC If you’re claustrophobic then Jimmy Fallon’s new _Tonight Show_ segment may not be for you. On Friday night, Fallon and _House of Cards_ star Kevin Spacey played “Phone Booth,” a trivia game played inside a pair of phone booths. If the contestant answers incorrectly – or their opponent gets a question right – another person is added to the opposing player’s booth. Needless to say, things didn’t go well for Spacey at first. The initial few rounds found Keegan-Michael Key from _Key and Peele_, 6-foot-11 NBA Draft pick Karl-Anthony Towns, and actress Mae Whitman turning Spacey’s booth into a glass case of emotion. Said Spacey upon answering the phone to play in a later round: “Yes, most ridiculous sketch ever.” But fortunately, the tide turned – and not a moment too soon, since Fallon even had Big Bird waiting in the wings to join the fun. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/15/kevin-spacey-jimmy-fallon-phone-booth) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) Kevin Spacey Got Stuffed Into a Phone Booth on 'The Tonight Show' ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3999494/kevin-spacey-phone-booth/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3999494/kevin-spacey-phone-booth/"},"headline":"Kevin Spacey Got Stuffed Into a Phone Booth With Some Surprise Guests on The Tonight Show","datePublished":"2015-08-15T16:25:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T10:12:30.534Z","description":"He was joined by surprise guests including Big Bird","url":"https://time.com/3999494/kevin-spacey-phone-booth/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ian Goldstein/EW"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","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":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3999494/kevin-spacey-phone-booth/","name":"Kevin Spacey Got Stuffed Into a Phone Booth With Some Surprise Guests on The Tonight Show"}}]}] ```
