Jimmy Fallon hands out American Football lesson to Matthew McConaughey

The Tonight Show host overcame the actor's heckles to win the pigskin challenge

Patrick McCarry

Jimmy Fallon gained a measure of sweet, pig-skinned revenge on Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey last night by defeating him in Facebreakers.

The American Football fun-fest challenge involves hoiking balls through panes of Perspex glass with a brass band trumpeting or lampooning your every effort. McConaughey had previously beaten the Tonight Show host in their two previous encounters. The Oscar-winner started off in fine fettle before cockiness led to Fallon’s stunning comeback.
