Garner, 47, shared with Jimmy Fallon, 45, how stubborn her parents were. She revealed how her father and mother, William and Patricia Garner, refused to stay indoors during the coronavirus pandemic stating:

“I’m like, ‘Dad, mom, the world is shut down to keep you safe.’ And they’re like, ‘We think we’re going to go to Sam’s Warehouse.’”

Fundraising for children’s meals

Besides providing an entertainment option for children who are currently stuck at home, Garner and Adams are also collecting donations for Save the Kids and No Kid Hungry. The funds will assist children from low-income families who have been cut-off from getting free or reduced-cost lunches from school.

Fallon disturbed by daughter on-camera

While Fallon was preparing himself to have a duet with Garner during the daily 10-minute segment, he was hilariously disturbed by his daughter. Frances, 5, walked into the room he was recording in to ask him a question.

The television personality politely told her that he was busy and asked her to give him “five minutes.”
