In front of a balloon arch, Fallon braced himself as the crew pelted him with cupcakes while he laughed, covering his face. Rapper Black Thought led the event, declaring, "May the cupcakes commence!" as Fallon quipped, “Who got me in the head?”

Fallon, still covered in icing, couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming, "That’s what I’m talking about. Demi, I love you."
