In 2014, Jimmy Fallon replaced Jay Leno to become the sixth host of NBC’s long-running ‘Tonight Show’ franchise. Fallon moved the series back to New York after decades in California, and brought along the Roots and Steve Higgins, his house band and announcer from his tenure on ‘Late Night.’ Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show’ is known for its friendly atmosphere and viral videos. And here’s a fun drinking game: Take a shot any time Jimmy Fallon laughs at something a guest says.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Jay Leno Refused an Appearance in Letterman's Final Shows
As October approaches a midway, we’ve comfortably settled into a late-night landscape that sees Stephen Colbert taking over The Late Show for David Letterman, and well after Jay Leno finally abandoned The Tonight Show to Jimmy Fallon. That hasn’t stopped the old guard from feuding now and again, as it seems Leno pointedly refused to take part in Letterman’s final CBS sendoff.
'Kenan and Kel' Reunite Over Good Burgers With Jimmy Fallon
The ‘90s kid in all of us winces a bit whenever word spreads of bad blood between Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, the former graduating from Nickelodeon to SNL, and the latter far less visible. Thankfully, Jimmy Fallon has taken our order, reuniting the pair for another “Good Burger” sketch on last night’s Tonight Show.
Fallon Makes 'Tonight Show' an 'Empire' in 'Jimpire' Parody
We’ve seen Jimmy Fallon take on the likes of Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and House of Cards, but with Empire Season 2 drip-dropping its FOX premiere tomorrow night, Fallon was bound to take the throne. Watch the real Cookie and Lucious chime in as The Tonight Show takes on the Empire with Jimpire!
Donald Trump to Appear on September 11 'Tonight Show'
Announcements of Stephen Colbert’s first Late Show guests have fans admiring the dedication to a diverse range of non-celebrities, and Jimmy Fallon’s broader Tonight Show will surely feel the heat before long. How better for Fallon to respond, than to play a literal Trump card on the September 11 outing?
Jimmy Fallon Has Kristen Wiig as 'Game of Thrones' Khaleesi
Regardless of where you fall on the current state of late night, Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show never lacks for bizarrely enjoyable stunts. Now, the same week that brought Hawkeye’s ode to himself sees Welcome To Me star Kristen Wiig stopping by the Tonight Show as Game of Thrones’ Khaleesi, for … reasons!
‘Chappie’ Is Not the First Time Hugh Jackman Had a Mullet
If you’re in need of about five minutes of Chappie star Hugh Jackman and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon discussing, joking about, and sporting mullets, have we got a clip for you. Jackman stopped by the show last night to talk Chappie – all robots and future and stuff – but Fallon quickly fixated on his favorite element of the entire film: Jackman’s mullet. Turns out, Jackman went full mullet for the role, and it’s actually not the first time he’s grown out his own party in back/business in front coif.
Jimmy Fallon Loses to Zoe Kravitz at Oversized Beer Pong
Should we be worried about Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon? The late night chatterbox has spent the last year of his life winning all sorts of wacky, mostly oversized games on his show, but lately, things have been going pretty downhill. In short, he’s lost, a lot, and no one seems more confused about it than Fallon himself.
Terrence Howard Blames His Weird Oscars Speech on Oprah
Terrence Howard acted weird at the Oscars. Tasked with announcing some of the Best Picture nominees, he flubbed almost every line, wacked his microphone, and then appeared to be overcome by emotion. This was all Oprah’s fault.
Watch Margot Robbie School Jimmy Fallon at Flip Cup
That wily Margot Robbie. She may have acted as if she didn’t understand the ways and rules of Flip Cup before diving into a round with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, but that was probably all a ruse – perhaps some weird viral marketing for her new con artist film Focus – because Margot Robbie is very good at Flip Cup.
Ice T Has a Lot of Opinions About ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’
“Fifty Shades of Grey? That’s nothing!”
It’s fair to assume that the last thing most people – even most late night hosts – would ask Ice T should they have him locked in a conversation is how he feels about Fifty Shades of Grey. Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is not most people, and when Ice T (Ice? Mr. T?) appeared on his show last night, Fallon asked him about America’s current cultural obsession. Ice T had some opinions! They’re kind of great!
