Jimmy Fallon's adorable daughters spectacularly derail Ethan Hawke's interview

Ethan Hawke jumped on a video call with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, speaking about his new limited Showtime series The Good Lord Bird. Unfortunately for him, Fallon's daughters Winnie and Franny correctly decided that they were much more interesting than anything the men had to say.

"I got my kids in the other room!" joked Hawke as Fallon tried to direct his giggling daughters elsewhere. "I take my job seriously, Jimmy!"

The mischievous Fallon sisters were not at all bothered by Hawke's faux indignation of course, climbing all over their dad and significantly improving the interview.

Hawke also encouraged viewers to donate to The Doe Fund, a charity that helps men who are homeless, who have recently left incarceration, or who are struggling with addiction.

"The Doe Fund has more successfully than any place I've ever heard of taken people who are destitute and turned them into members of society who are showing up for their kids and showing up for their families," said Hawke. "It's really inspiring — they're a great group of men."
