Will Smith knows the value of a big entrance. That’s why on Thursday night’s The Tonight Show the Suicide Squad star made not one, not two, but four big ones until he got it just right. The first time Big Willie did the usual point, clap and wave, which was fine. But he knew he could top it.

Fallon cued him up again and Smith rolled out in a giant Zorb plastic ball, nearly taking out The Roots in the process.
