Patton Oswalt dropped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to promote the new season of his show "The Heart, She Holler," and gave Jimmy, a new father, some advice on how to be a good dad. Namely, that it's impossible to know.


He tells a story involving "The Wolfman," "Schoolhouse Rock," dancing skeletons and the fact that his daughter is totally unpredictable when it comes to Oswalt foreseeing what will give her nightmares.


Check out the video of Patton's parenting advice above, and below, watch him talk about what's next for his weirdo Adult Swim show.
