Elton John Hilariously Tanks ‘Password’ on ‘Tonight Show’ After Fallon Performs Mega-Medley of Singer’s Hits

Elton John hilariously tanked a game of 'Password' on Thursday's (April 3) 'Tonight Show' and host Jimmy Fallon sang a super-cut of Elton's hits.

When it was John’s turn to give Fallon a clue for “Sunday,” he waited patiently as Steinfeld offered up “Saturday” and a gentle nod toward the next day to Carlile, who could only hazard a guess at “night.” John then looked at his card, cockily shook his head and said, “Sunday!” Game host Steve Higgins cracked up, gently reminding the rock icon that he can’t actually say the clue out loud. He then moved on to scatting the lyrics to “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” beatboxing the piano intro to “Bennie and the Jets” and busting out his Mick Jagger impression for “I’m Still Standing” during the six-minute supercut bit. Though Carlile said she too was anxious, things pretty quickly clicked and after recording the epic album opener, “The Rose of Laura Nyro,” the parts seamlessly fell into place.
