Jimmy Fallon Plays 'Iko Iko' with Natalie Portman, The Roots and Sia
Sagaponack resident Jimmy Fallon, Natalie Portman (Star Wars: Episodes I–III, Black Swan) and pop star Sia joined The Roots for a wonderful performance of the classic song “Iko Iko” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday. Fallon, The Roots and their special guests all wore black and white Sia wigs and played the song with spoons, blocks, a plastic bucket, deck of cards, various drums, guiro and a pair of pool balls (the black and white 8 ball and cue ball, of course).
