Best of Late Night TV: Jake Gyllenhaal's Slapjack and 'Uncouth' Fork; Paula Abdul's 'Opposites Attract' Remake

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.

Jake Gyllenhaal played Slapjack Tuesday night on "The Tonight Show" -- perfect for the boxing star of "Southpaw" -- but his "uncouth" back-scratching interview was even more fun. First, here's the Slapjack game: Now to the classic interview. Not sure if you saw the photo, but Jake got called out by the paparazzi for scratching his back with a fork; this was deemed "uncouth,", so -- on "The Tonight Show" -- Jake responded. "Come on. You take a picture behind my back and then call me uncouth?" He then defended the many uses of the fork, including back scratching. "It's not just used to eat with, you can pick other things up with it..." He also insisted his back was clean, so it's not really uncouth. Jimmy then gave Jake a special elongated fork for future scratching -- so Jake used it to scratch his beard, then licked it and poked it at Jimmy. All in all, a fantastic interview. Josh Gad also fell in love with Jake, during his own sit-down with Jimmy, and ignored Jimmy. So Jimmy changed seats to be on the other side of Jake to get Josh's attention. So then Josh took Jimmy's old seat at the desk. They had fun. This is pretty great. Paula Abdul, Chris Colfer, and Steve Byrne were on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" and Paula and James did a remake of her "Opposites Attract" video. This MC Skat Kat can really move -- James Corden for "Dancing With the Stars"! Paula also talked about what it would take to get her to return for the final season of "American Idol." She said they are trying to get the original three to return for like a day or something, but James wants more than that. Adam Sandler, who was on "The Tonight Show" Monday night, went to "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on Tuesday. He mentioned that he filmed his movie in Toronto and, as much as he loves Toronto, the city did not love him back for shutting everything down for so long to film. Adam and Seth also shared Will Forte stories. FYI, Seth's old NH driver's license was in Will's car for 11 years without Seth's knowledge. Margaret Cho was also on "Late Night," and she and Seth showed off "their weird ass fingers" (it's true), talked about Tina & Amy at the Golden Globes, and also powered into the issue of political correctness in comedy. Margaret: "I think what it is, is white people like to tell Asian people how to feel about race because they're too scared to tell black people." She might be onto something... The great Alex Morgan was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to talk about winning the World Cup. She brought a trophy to Jimmy -- his present "for the next 10 minutes" -- and he complained that it wasn't a real cup. Alex just had knee surgery, and she got off crutches. She'll be back to playing in 3-4 weeks, then they go on a victory/celebration tour. Jimmy asked if there are any teams she doesn't like playing, and she said "Canada's a good rivalry." She said "some people" think Canada plays a bit dirty and they're a very physical team. Not a fan, eh? Denis Leary was also on JKL and he got a bit manic -- he doesn't even seem to take a breath, but it's great -- to talk about why his son thinks Jimmy is a genius. He then detailed -- so much detail! -- the road trip that convinced him Jimmy is truly a genius. It's all about pooping the perfect poop. Gross, but hilarious. And here's Denis Leary's summer soup PSA: And just because, here are kids explaining adultery, thanks to the Ashley Madison breach:
