Really interesting clip from a game perspective. This happened 10-12 years ago so Nicole Kidman was an even bigger star (and hotter) than she is now, and Jimmy Fallon was just another guy on SNL. In other words, Nicole Kidman was A-list, while Jimmy Fallon was basically D-list. In his mind, this status discrepancy was enough to make him think he had no chance with her. It was like the prom queen or head cheerleader in high school wanting to date some theatre geek. Unthinkable. In reality, however, she was available and on the prowl for a new man, and even went out of her way to meet him.
This really demonstrates the destructive power of self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk. The idea that Nicole Kidman might be interested in him was simply not something Jimmy Fallon even believed was possible. This belief was so powerful that even when Nicole Kidman asked to meet him and was sitting in his apartment, he still couldn't even recgonize that she might be interested in him, much less make an proactive effort to game her.
It's really kind of sad. Despite the laughs, you can tell it really bothered him that he passed up on such an opportunity without even realizing it. I'm sure we all have experience in similar situations with women, but most of us probably haven't fumbled one that badly: failing to make a move on an A-list actress sitting in your apartment and playing video games instead. It really demonstrates the importance of delusional self-confidence when dealing with women.
In game, and in life, remember that the worst thing is not failure. The worst thing is a failure to try.
