Jennifer Garner made a fun cameo on Jimmy Fallon‘s NBC series On Brand.
In Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip from the Friday, October 24, episode of the show, Fallon, 51, interviews someone for a job. “I am just going to be honest with you. I have known you a long time and I think you are fantastic but there are a lot of people that want to work at the On Brand agency,” he says, ‘The phones are ringing off the hook — [just] not now.”
Fallon continues the bit by saying he isn’t sure about this candidate. “Your resume is great and you worked with a ton of brands. I just don’t know if you are the right fit,” he adds before the camera switches to a view of Garner, 53.
The actress clarifies that she is “not here to apply for a job,” noting, “Jimmy, I am here with KitchenAid.” This reminds Jimmy their next client is actually KitchenAid.

“I have to go! They are probably here,” he says. “Jen, you stay here and I will be right back.”
Garner seems confused why Fallon wouldn’t want her to come with him. “Should I come with you? If you want to talk about KitchenAid, I should stay here?” she asks before settling into her seat in the office.
On Brand, which premiered in September, is a reality competition show where 10 contestants work at the On Brand Agency to create and pitch marketing campaigns for major brands including Dunkin Donuts, Southwest Airlines and KitchenAid. Marketing expert (and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star) Bozoma Saint John serves as Chief Marketing Officer as contestants face challenges — with one winner receiving $$100,000, a feature in Adweek and more.
An episode earlier this month included a cameo from Jimmy Kimmel who interrupted Fallon as he told contestants about their biggest assignment yet for Captain Morgan’s Super Bowl campaign.
“Hello random assortment of creatives. This is exciting, right? Two late night Jimmys joining forces to lead you on an epic adventure with Captain Morgan original spice rum — something you have probably been dreaming of your whole lives,” Kimmel, 57, said. “Jimmy and I have been friends for a long time and now we have a tradition. Whenever we tie in the ratings, let’s do it.”

Fallon was forced to cut off half his tie in unison with Kimmel before getting praise from his fellow late night talk show host.
“Jimmy and I are a lot like you guys. We are forced to go head to head every night and people assume we are enemies but we are not,” Kimmel noted. “To win the Captain Morgan account and a trip to the Super Bowl, you are going to have to work together as teams. May the best crew win.”
Kimmel lied to Fallon about what he shared on the show, quipping, “Jimmy, I hope it is cool. I told them about the secret family you have in Miami.”
On Brand With Jimmy Fallon airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC before streaming the next day on Peacock.
