Jimmy Fallon seemed to have achieved the most sought-after interview in sports when he announced that he had booked Michael Jordan as a last minute guest on "Late Night."

"I was going to bring out Kristen Wiig," Fallon said. "But during the commercial break, the coolest thing just happened. We weren't expecting this at all, but a special guest just stopped by here in the studio and we're about to bring him out for a quick interview. I can't believe this is about to happen."

The greatest basketball player of all time was actually Wiig wearing a Bulls jersey, Nike sneakers and a tan rubber skullcap mimicking Jordan's dome.

Fallon carried out the interview as if it were the actual Jordan, and most of the comedic effect came from Wiig pretending to know something about the NBA. Wiig was more in her element when she and Fallon broke into a duet version of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."

"Jordan" wasn't the only sports star to make an appearance on the "Late Show" this week. Matt Harvey, the all-star starting pitcher from the New York Mets, played himself during a sketch for the show. Fallon, a baseball fan, announced that Harvey had earned the starting pitcher position for the game at the Mets' Citi Field, but lamented that few New Yorkers actually knew much about him. To prove the point, the real Harvey asked baseball fans downtown what they thought about "Matt Harvey," while making it terribly obvious that they were talking to the pitcher. He showed interviewees his baseball card and photos from himself in the ESPN Body Issue. Sometimes the interviewees caught on and sometimes not.
