Fallon said that Palmer was the coolest guy who changed the game because of his emotions while playing the game.
Jackson asked Fallon if he ever got a chance to meet Palmer and when he found out that Fallon did not, Jackson pointed out that he had actually played a round of golf with the legend.
Jackson said he would go to the Bob Hope and every time you go you would be paired with a different professional golfer.
He was paired with Palmer and when he found out he was pretty excited to golf with the king.
