Jimmy Fallon enlists Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell for a quarantine soap opera

If your days feel long and unexciting, some “Saturday Night Live� veterans are here for some dramatic laughs.

On Wednesday night’s at-home episode of “The Tonight Show,� host Jimmy Fallon and fellow quarantined comedians Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell put on some ridiculous wigs and absurd accents for a spoof titled “The Longest Days Our Life.�

The four-minute video-chat soap opera was inspired by — you guessed it — the stay-at-home and social-distancing measures due to the coronavirus crisis.

“Vanessa, what is it? You look like you a have a very big, juicy secret to tell me,� the blond-haired Fallon (who played Winston) says to his girlfriend, Vanessa (Wiig).

She confesses that she’s been cheating on him with his brother. A dismayed, confused Fallon gasps and retorts: “How could you? We’re all social distancing and quarantined. Was it through, like, Skype or something?�

“It was through, like, Skype or something, yes,� responds Vanessa.

But it was not Winston’s brother Alejandro (Ferrell) with whom Vanessa cheated. Was it his “long-lost other brother� Montgomery, also played by Ferrell? It wasn’t him either. It was with Winston’s “other, other brother,� Fontaine (Ferrell again).

As more twists and turns unfold throughout the comedy sketch, the “Saturday Night Live� veterans sometimes can’t quite keep it together, especially during Ferrell’s hilarious costume changes. At one point, Wiig randomly throws on a blond wig and a fuzzy scarf and becomes Melinda Charmin, heiress to the Charmin toilet paper fortune.

And in true soap-opera form, “The Longest Days of Our Lives� ends with a cliffhanger.
