“Do you remember when we used to be Creed?” Fallon asked Hamm, who replied “of course.”

Hamm and Fallon then appeared in a pre-taped recreation of Creed’s With Arms Wide Open, wearing wigs in the style of Scott Stapp’s signature shoulder-length tresses and bright yellow jackets with black leather pants.
As they sang their rendition of the 1999 song, standing inside a bird’s nest atop a peak and passionately they threw their arms… yes, wide open.

At one point, the entertainers hugged each other and hilariously found snacks hidden in each other’s jackets, with Hamm noshing on some potato chips he found in Fallon’s jacket and Fallon snacking on what looked like a French fry he pulled out of Hamm’s pocket.
His appearance marked Hamm’s 12th appearance on the late night program.

The reenactment comes as the alt-rock band – known for songs including Higher and My Sacrifice, among others – has experienced a resurgence in recent years with a highly in-demand reunion tour that kicked off in July.
“To see that happening for Creed,” Stapp told Billboard in an interview in July, “with a whole new generation of fans and listeners? It’s just… very rewarding.”
