Country star Riley Green turned The Tonight Show stage into a honky-tonk hurricane with “Make It Rain”!

Riley Green Teaches Jimmy Fallon How to Use a Duck Call on The Tonight Show

Riley Green — known to many by his nickname “Duckman” — showed off his duck calling skills during a hilarious moment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The last time Green appeared on the show, he gifted Fallon a duck call. But as Fallon admitted, it’s been collecting dust. “I didn’t know if it was legal, first of all,” Fallon joked. “I didn’t know what this was… I didn’t know what you were handing me at first!”

Green reassured him that it wasn’t something you’d “smoke out of,” though he laughed and admitted it does look that way. He then encouraged Fallon to give it a shot.

After fumbling by blowing into the wrong end — to the audience’s delight — Fallon finally got a sound out of it. Still, it wasn’t quite convincing. “Yours is a little kazoo-ish,” Green teased before pulling out his own call and showing everyone how it’s done, earning cheers from the crowd. The two even made plans to take their duck calling skills out into the field for a real hunt.

From Writer’s Rounds to Arena Stages

The pair also chatted about Green’s rise in country music and his headlining Damn Country Music Tour. Green reflected on his early Nashville days, remembering songwriter rounds at Tootsies where he felt outshined. That’s when he decided to lean into his own story.

“Nobody can tell the exact story that I tell,” he explained. “So I started writing songs just about how I grew up, my family, and those values. I was fortunate that a lot of people grew up the same way, and some of those songs did really well.”

A New Performance and New Music

Later in the show, Green performed “Make It Rain” from his Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe) project. The expanded album builds on his 2024 release with six fresh tracks, including collaborations with Randy Houser (“Cowboy As It Gets”), Hannah McFarland (“I Just Need You”), and Willie Nelson (“One to Willie”), plus new cuts like “What Am I Supposed to Do Now” and “Bet They’re Biting.”

For Fallon’s audience, the night was equal parts comedy, storytelling, and music — a perfect showcase of why Riley Green continues to be one of country’s fastest-rising stars.
