Carrie Underwood, Jimmy Fallon reveal their little known history

Carrie Underwood had some fun on a recent visit to “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” In an elaborate skit, Fallon and Underwood “revealed” that they had once been teamed up in a country duo known as “Jim Carrie" in the 1990s. The duo was purportedly known for singing country versions of rap songs, a niche the duo termed “c’rap.”

They showed clips of three of their old performances, complete with hokey Western wear getups. If the two stars seem a little out of breath between clips, and trying hard not to laugh, at the end of the skit the reason becomes clear when the “taped” pieces are actually revealed to have been performed live by the two stars, who rush in an out of their costumes and back to Fallon’s desk set just in time to discuss each one. Only the studio audience was in on the joke.
