Vanity of Vanities, All Is Vanity. Now Here Are Jimmy Fallon and Renée Zellweger in Inflatable Sumo Outfits!

There’s a chill in the air and the fall television season is finally kicking off: new shows battling for our attention while old favorites return. At Sunday’s Emmy Awards, America will pause to remember television seasons past and celebrate the bountiful harvest HBO, FX, and AMC have brought us. Like the Byrds knew, the wisest words ever written about the changing seasons (and binge-worthy television shows) were written thousands of years ago, in the book of Ecclesiastes—specifically chapter nine, verse 10:

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

With that in mind, please spend the next three minutes and 13 seconds of your allotted time watching Jimmy Fallon and Renée Zellweger sumo wrestle! Jimmy Fallon looks pretty silly dressed up in a gigantic inflatable Santa Claus suit, and Renée Zellweger—star of Bridget Jones’s Baby, opening on Fridaydoesn’t look much better in her gigantic inflatable robot suit. The improbable duo face off in a best-two-out-of-three contest, as seen on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Who will win? Well, in the long run, time, chance, and the Red Death—but in the inflatable sumo ring, anything can happen!
