It's been many years since Jimmy Fallon failed to realise he was on a date with Nicole Kidman, opting instead to play video games when she visited his apartment. But the internet — and Isabela Merced — won't let him forget.

Appearing on The Tonight Show in the clip above, The Last of Us star used the host's comment about Naughty Dog's game to brutally segue back into the topic.

"That's gotta be one of the scariest computer games I've ever played in my life, The Last of Us," says Fallon.

"Was that the game you were playing when you bombed your date with Nicole Kidman?" responds Merced.

Fallon's reaction? "It's a pleasure meeting you, we're out of time."
