The Billy Joel-Jimmy Fallon duet that Tonight Show viewers saw on last night’s show? A cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Beast of Burden.” But the real treat from last night’s show was an all-star duet that didn’t even make it on-air. While shooting promos for the episode with Joel and Fallon, fellow guest J.K. Simmons suggested the singer play one of this most beloved hits, “The Longest Time.” – USA Today
Here is a portion of Billy’s interview. The full episode can be viewed at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon website.
