It’s sexy, hip, and you can let it all out. No wonder Hip Hop has been with us ever since.

The video starts as Jimmy stands in the center of the stage, and then the music begins, and we see him move to the side, giving way to none other than Will Smith.

For all of you who didn’t know, Jimmy Fallon is actually excellent at dancing.

We must say, his moves are on cue and are very nice. Then they proceeded in doing the ‘The Running Man,’ then the ‘Robot,’ followed by the ‘Pop and Lock’ and ‘Steal the Face,’ which, by the way, was hilarious!

Now, for this generation, we’re pretty sure ‘Crank that,’ ‘Stanky Legg,’ and the ‘Dougie’ would be their all-time favorites, right?

If you think it was only Smith who had his favorite dance move, wait till you see Jimmy doing the ‘Twerk’ dance step. It will definitely give you a good laugh.

Smith then decides to walk off of the stage, shaking his head in disbelief!
