The Tonight Show momentarily had a new host on Wednesday, with Jimmy Fallon swapping seats with his guest, Jin.

The BTS member and K-pop icon appeared on Fallon's show to promote his new solo album Echo and the upcoming BTS reunion in June. But the pair also spoke about Jin's interview with Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning star Tom Cruise on his YouTube show Run Jin.

"Would you ever host a variety show like this?" Fallon asked. "I think you'd be good at it."

"Not at all," Jin replied. "But should I do it?"

Trying it out, Fallon and Jin swapped seats for a few interview questions and honestly, Fallon might be out of a job.
