Jimmy Fallon did something no other late night show host has ever done. He did his whole show from a subway car in Grand Central Station. In fact, they closed the busy stop down just for him.

The eight of them went to the Jewish Deli Katz’s, and the K-Pop band made me feel old. They never saw or heard of When Harry Met Sally. Oh, yes, yes, yes, I would love to see their reaction when they see that infamous scene.
After eating all of that meat and knishes, it was time to work off all of that food. They played some games, talked to the NBC host about a wide range of topics, and sang their song On at the terminal. To see all they did on the show yesterday, then
