Tatum was wearing a brown wig with a large yellow flower hair clip, lip gloss and a dress with yellow tights. Fallon wore a long blonde wig with braces and a floral print dress.
Tatum danced in the segment, but did not use the same moves peformed as a male stripper for his latest movie "Magic Mike", which is opening in theaters today nationwide.
"Magic Mike" is very much about the beauty of bodies in motion and the deep cinematic joys of watching good-looking people perform extraordinary physical feats," said The New York Times.
