In a large setup on New York’s Rockefeller Plaza, the two took turns seeing who could achieve optimum accuracy with summer’s final fruit. To no one’s surprise, [Marky Mark](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/01/08/late-night-highlight-young-mark-wahlberg-looks-a-lot-like-justin-bieber/?iid=sr-link8) turned out to be naturally talented at the test of strength, casually hitting the central target rings without breaking a sweat and handily beating the host at his own game. It’s not quite [watermelons exploding](https://www.buzzfeed.com/tasneemnashrulla/we-blew-up-a-watermelon-and-everyone-lost-their-freaking-min), but you have to give it to Fallon for consistently coming up with wacky ways to showcase his guests’ secret skills. Watch above.
