Madonna left The Tonight Show viewers cringing during Thursday’s episodes as she flashed her bottom and gyrated on Jimmy Fallon’s desk during a ‘trainwreck’ interview.
The singer, 63, appeared on the show to plug her Madame X documentary, and left the host astounded when she soon rose from her seat and slid herself across his desk.
The bizarre segment began when Jimmy asked Madonna what she hoped viewers would get from the film, she responded: ‘Art is important in our lives. I don’t think people emphasize that enough. I’m really inspired by James Baldwin, the writer.’

Madonna continued: ‘He was a great source of inspiration for the show, and one of the things I quote over and over again in the show is that artists are here to disturb the peace.
‘And so I hope that I have disturbed not only your peace this afternoon but people’s peace while they watch the show. But I mean that in the best way.’
As Jimmy said, ‘Oh, yeah, you get in good trouble,’ Madonna suddenly rose from her seat and sprawled herself across the host’s desk.
Wow: The singer, 63, appeared on the show to plug her Madame X documentary, and left the host astounded when she soon rose from her seat and slid herself across his desk
In a bid to protect the singer’s modesty, Jimmy leapt up screaming ‘No! Madonna! Stop it! I don’t know what to do. Stop it right now,’ before removing his jacket and placing it across Madonna’s legs.
‘No one’s gonna see anything, my god!’ Madonna exclaimed as she climbed off the table, before lifting up her black minidress to flash her bottom at the audience
Cackling as she returned to her seat, Madonna quipped: ‘Life is not just about interviewing kitties. Don’t you want to talk to an adult? Let’s have some adult conversation.’
‘Are you talking to an adult right now?’ Fallon asked, prompting Madonna to respond: ‘I’m not sure… I feel like you’re in some kind of conflict right now. Have you been to a therapist?’
‘I went once or twice,’ Fallon said in response. ‘It wasn’t my thing.’
When Fallon directed the same question back at Madonna, she replied: ‘I write… it’s a form of therapy… And I also hope that I have good friends… I talk my s*** out with people. That’s a kind of therapy, don’t you think?’
When the conversation turned to smoking, Fallon asked Michigan native Madonna if she vapes, which prompted her to quip: ‘I like opiates!’
Taking to Twitter after the show, viewers penned: ‘That Madonna interview on Jimmy Fallon was next level cringe. Like… she’s sitting there in her old 80s black lace, wearing grillz, and talking about her new material is inspired by James Baldwin? And that’s even before she humps Fallon’s desk.’;
