A central part of this story is that Bruce Lee died a few months later, in 1974. Bruce Lee actually died on July 20, 1973.

The narative points out that Carradine was in a black suit, but the accompanying fake stills clearly show him in a denim jacket. The set looks nothing like The Tonight Show.

At least the video and channel descriptions point out that it just might be fiction:
