Mr. Met showed up on The Tonight Show to squeeze himself into a crowded phone booth

Watch Mr. Met's cameo on The Tonight Show

On Monday's Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, Hugh Jackman and Shaq played a game called "Phone Booth," during which Jackman and Shaq answered trivia questions, and tried to avoid filling their respective booths with celebrity bodies.

Wait a minute, something about that silhouette on the far right doesn't look exactly human. It looks ... more like a giant anthropomorphized baseball.

Start at around the 7:30-mark for the final question, and to hear Fallon announce, "From your 2015 National League East Division champion New York Mets, it is Mr. Met!"

Though we have no doubt of Mr. Met's squeeze-into-tight-spaces abilities, we didn't actually get to see him try to fit himself into the phone booth. He was left on the outside looking in.
