In an interview on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, Atwell, 43, went into detail about her on-set experience when the late-night host asked if the audience should know anything before he rolled a clip of her performance.

As per ‘People’, Fallon, 50, jumped in with surprise, saying, "Are you serious?" The actress elaborated, "I'm serious. Yes. And I have to say, I was taken such good care of.
