Jeff Daniels, Nelly, Jimmy Fallon, Whoopi Goldberg play Pictionary during the Tonight Show, on October 9, 2015.Douglas Gorenstein—Getty Images by [Ian Goldstein / EW](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Ian Goldstein / EW Oct 10, 2015 2:38 PM UTC Friday night is a time for Pictionary with friends, at least according to Jimmy Fallon. The late-night host brought out Jeff Daniels, rapper Nelly, and Whoopi Goldberg to join him in the drawing game on _The Tonight Show_. Fallon paired with Goldberg, while Daniels and Nelly made up Team No. 2\. Both groups proved there was some chemistry there in the early going, but as the game continued, Nelly had some trouble thinking up what to draw for “Trick or Treat.” He sketched chimneys, and confused Daniels. Goldberg was there to help, fortunately, suggesting a future reference for Nelly: draw a pumpkin. Watch the clip below to see Nelly accuse Fallon of cheating and the two teams ultimately tie the game. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4069123/whoopi-goldberg-jimmy-fallon-pictionary-jimmy-fallon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4069123/whoopi-goldberg-jimmy-fallon-pictionary-jimmy-fallon/"},"headline":"Whoopi Goldberg and Jimmy Fallon Played Nelly and Jeff Daniels in Pictionary","datePublished":"2015-10-10T14:38:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:51.222Z","description":"Nelly had some trouble thinking up what to draw for “Trick or Treat”","url":"https://time.com/4069123/whoopi-goldberg-jimmy-fallon-pictionary-jimmy-fallon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteebb948db8da727f/698867c35f570f9984b1dcbe/gettyimages-492054224.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ian Goldstein / EW"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteebb948db8da727f/698867c35f570f9984b1dcbe/gettyimages-492054224.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","caption":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","creditText":"Douglas Gorenstein—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/4069123/whoopi-goldberg-jimmy-fallon-pictionary-jimmy-fallon/","name":"Whoopi Goldberg and Jimmy Fallon Played Nelly and Jeff Daniels in Pictionary"}}]}] ```
