On Tuesday night's show, the former "Dark Angel" star said that her parents almost named her after the "Charlie's Angels" star. Her mother looked like the late actress and they thought that she would also resemble her.

But all that was changed when her Latino father saw her for the first time.

She told the host, "My name was Farrah Dawn Luisa Alba. On my birth certificate, it was written out, and I came out brown. And my dad was like 'she's not allowed to be Farrah.' On my first birth certificate, it's a scratch and he wrote Jessica Marie. My dad named me."

She then joked to Lopez that if she was named Farrah, she wouldn't be allowed in his show.

Lopez replied, "We'd probably be talking at an RV show right now."
