Jason Bateman was seen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. All laughs and giggles as Fallon impersonated Bateman.

“It’s hurtful, I think, probably right?”: Jason Bateman on Jimmy Fallon’s Impression of Marty Byrde From Ozark

Over the last few years, Ozark has carved a niche for television shows. Every
episode is so detailed, it looks like a movie. It received critical acclaim for
its production values, writing, and of course, phenomenal acting. The final
episodes of Ozark season 4 part 2 episodes are out. But before they did,
promotions were in full fledge. The cast, including Jason Bateman, Laura Linney,
and Julia Garner made multiple appearances for promotional interviews ahead of
the premiere. As part of the promotions, Jason Bateman went to an interview on
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon recently, and indulged in some
Fallon-fun.


WAS FALLON ADEQUATE AT HIS IMPRESSION OF JASON BATEMAN?

Fallon was all praises for the cast of Ozark from Julia to Laura. And when it
was Jason’s turn to be complimented, the talk host simply said, “I can’t imagine
any other human being doing you.” However, his admiration for the actor ran
father because he had previously tried to do an impression of Jason once. Jason,
being aware of this, replied, “I kinda forget, it’s hurtful, I think, probably
right?”

Their little banter resulted in Fallon finally doing an impression of Bateman’s
Marty:



To everyone’s surprise, he did it so well even Jason got impressed. Jimmy
further revealed that people asked him to do the impression all the time. Jason
spoke extensively about how David Fincher influenced him and the symbols

JASON’S ROLE AS MARTY BYRDE

We know Jason Bateman [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jason-bateman] for having a
comedy background because of his work in sitcoms and comedy movies. He’s been
working in front of the camera since the age of 11. He debuted in the seventh
season of Little House at the Prairie, a famous ’90s sitcom. So his role as
Marty, a money launderer

His role was intense, grim, practical, and full of serious responsibilities
(including cleaning a dead body). But now, after all the seasons, people know
there couldn’t have been anybody better than Jason

Ozark [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ozark] has received a whopping 32 Emmy
nominations! It’s the best critically acclaimed show and it also pleases the
masses. It’s really sad that it’s coming to an end, so parting with Ozark has to
be bittersweet for everybody, not just the cast.

All seasons of Ozark is streaming [https://www.netflix.com/title/80117552] on
