Ata asked if he remembered her, he said “of course, from our piece” on New Year’s Eve. I remember our bit.
When asked if he remembers what he did, Fallon said he remembered, “sitting on the ground, pretending I was fainting,” which Ata said, “It was wonderful.”
She added that she “had the most fun that night” with Fallon and the mother of Johnson’s wife, Lauren Hashian.

When asked about the video, Ata said that “every time we go to Hawaii, we go to visit my parents, yes.”
Then he continued to sing the popular Samoan song Savalivali Means Go for a Walk for Fallon, which was impressive enough.
He even said he had another song, Johnson joked, “What do you mean you have another?” as he continued to sing an impromptu song about Fallon.
