While shooting local promos for “The Tonight Show,” guests Billy Joel, J.K. Simmons and host Jimmy Fallon broke into a spontaneous doo-wop rendition of Joel’s 1983 hit, “The Longest Time.”
The Piano Man, the and the current king of late night, absolutely nailed the acapella performance, with a little help from Joel’s band, of course.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
