May 6, 2011: Tom Welling on Jimmy Fallon

Tom and Jimmy Fallon Tom Welling, Smallville's Clark Kent, appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" early today (or late last night, as you like). He gave a candid interview about the end of his time on the show.

Some highlights:

    Tom likes a "Caddilac" margarita, in honor of Cinco De Mayo.

    Judd Apatow gave Tom his first break, in the TV show Undeclared.

    He said he was bummed out about the end of Smallville, and that he can't believe it's been ten years.

    He wanted to take souvenirs from the set, but got little beyond a pencil, because everything was marked, catalogued, and archived.

    Tom got a surprise "Congratulations, You're Unemployed" party thrown by his wife for him.

    Tom's mom got to make a brief wave to the camera. His father was also in attendance.

    When asked "Do you become Superman?" Tom said that Warner Brothers would kill him if he told, and was coy about whether he will get married to Lois. When asked to wink if he flies, Tom covered his face and either winked or didn't at Fallon, joking and hiding his eyes. Fallon said he didn't wink.

    He joked further, saying people will or won't be pleased if they expect him to wear the suit, fly, or get married.

    In a brief scene from the finale, it is hinted Lois is considering cancelling the wedding.

The series finale of "Smallville" will air on Friday, May 13th at 8.00pm on The CW.
