Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is one of those close friends. Jeter and Fallon have known each other for nearly two decades, having first met when the Yankee star was rising. The Tonight Show host recently relived an iconic 20-minute outing with the legendary shortstop.

Jimmy Fallon spent $4000 during a club outing with Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter and Jimmy Fallon are close friends that go way back. But the Tonight Show host was left regretting picking up the bill during a club outing many years ago. Fallon recently shared a story of a 20-minute club outing he had with Jeter, where he ended up paying $4000. The Tonight Show host relived the moment during a recent appearance on The View. 

While on The View, Fallon said, “I went to a club with Derek Jeter, I don’t go to clubs. And so I go to a club and there’s this thing called bottle service. Where you sit at a table, they bring you bottles and you pour your own cocktails, and you pay extra money for this.” He then said, “I didn’t even quite understand this, I’m sitting there for about 20 minutes. Derek goes to the bathroom, I go ‘I’m gonna leave guys, I’ll I’ll pay for this’. But everyone was grabbing my hand like slow motion like, ‘No. Don’t. He’s a New York Yankee, he makes so much more money than you.’ I go, ‘I, I can handle this’. So, I get the bill. The bill, I’m not kidding, is like $4000. I was there for 20 minutes!”
