    Okay. They are two different hand signs.

    Tuck's hand-sign is two hands palms touching is the traditional Namaste done as part of the Indian, Vedic culture as a sign of salutation and also to emphasizes the duality of life in that it takes two hands to make the sign.

    Foster's general hand-sign is a fist touching an open hand. This is a variation off of the Namaste but is its origins actually stem more from the Chinese/Buddist origins and those of martial arts. It is a hand-sign more akin to what one would do to a competitor in a match or to one's guru. While this hand sign also emphasizes the duality of life, it is doing it from the fist as a sign of martial skill and combat, with that of the open hand to express that their is still a mutual respect and camaraderie between the combatants.

    Two different hand gestures for two different situations with different meanings.

    Everybody from Clutchfans and whatever the Texans fan forum is called need to tweet something to Jimmy Fallon about this. If we make a big enough stink, he'll maybe mention it on the show.

    What's wrong with that? Fallon has totally stolen the late night spotlight from everybody.

    I enjoy Fallon. He's a very good interviewer, the guest always looks very comfortable.

    Victor Cruz is on tonight, I'll watch.

    I just find him to be one of the least funny people alive. dude is obnoxious...

    I was shocked to see there are people on here who find him entertaining...

    and here I thought Fallon was the only one who laughed at his jokes
