Prince was not only an artistic genius, he was also eccentric, funny, and a notorious prankster.
Jimmy Fallon has met a lot of celebrities, but the recent stories the host and his bandleader onthe show Questlove spoke fondly about the time Prince challenged Jimmy to a game of ping-pong at Susan Sarandon’s table tennis club Spin.
Apparently, anytime Prince wanted to contact Jimmy, he would do so through a third party who would call him and simply say ‘He wants to see you.’

Jimmy was once contacted during a dinner with his wife and was challenged to a ping-pong match by Prince’s assistant.
Obviously, Jimmy ran to experience this once in a lifetime event.
When Jimmy arrived, Prince was dressed in a double-breasted blue suit (not exactly sportswear) and proceeded to trounce the talk show host and then disappear into the night without a word.
Peak Prince.
The whole video really is worth a watch.

While we’re here, remember when Prince was a guest star on New Girl?
The purple one was a big fan of the show, and a pretty deadly comedic actor.
