As this season of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy is coming to a close, NBC made a big announcement about the talk show’s future. The show has been renewed through 2028.
“For nearly 30 years, Jimmy Fallon has brought laughter into the homes of millions and charmed audiences from the stages of 30 Rock,” said Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBCUniversal Media Group. “It’s been a privilege to witness Jimmy at the helm of the ‘The Tonight Show’ and we’re thrilled to see what innovations he and the incredible staff will deliver in the years to come at the network.”
“For nearly 30 years, I’ve brought laughter into the homes of millions and charmed audiences from the stages of 30 Rock,” said Fallon. “It’s been a privilege to be at the helm of the ‘The Tonight Show’ and I’m thrilled to see what innovations me and the incredible staff will deliver in the years to come at the network. No, I’m not changing my quote. Tell Mark to change his.”
This is Fallon’s tenth year hosting The Tonight Show.
Donald Trump has been fighting the law for over 50 years, and last week, the law finally won.
That is a lot like Sonny Curtis of the Crickets’s I Fought the Law. And that is what the staff of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon thought. So they cut together the words of the convicted felon on 34 counts from different speeches to make it appear like he was singing it.
And I think they should release it as a single. Trump will finally be #1 at something.
Jimmy Fallon is best friends with Justin Timberlake. Therefore, you would think that The Tonight Show host would know every lyric to all of his BFF’s songs. It turns out he doesn’t.
Fallon decided to try his hand at blind karaoke. He did a pretty good job with Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You and Taylor Swift’s Love Story.
However, when it got to a Justin Timberlake song, he barely knew the words.
I can’t say I blame him. Mirrors is a forgettable song, so how can anyone remember the lyrics? I wouldn’t be surprised if Timberlake forgot them.
In 2010, Maroon 5 had a huge hit with Moves Like Jagger. It was so huge that people are still dancing to it today. One of those people is Mick Jagger. And the other week, the Rolling Stones singer shared a video of himself moving like Jagger to the catchy tune.
Yesterday, when Adam Levine was on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon wanted to know what he thought of Jagger moving like Jagger to Moves Like Jagger. “It’s really surreal,” Levine said. “How is this possible? What is happening? It’s bizarre.”
It is definitely an unforgettable full-circle moment for Levine. And believe it or not, only his mom and a friend shared that video with him. You would think more people would be like, “Dude, Jaggers is dancing to your song, Moves Like Jagger.”
The singer also revealed to the host that originally, the songwriters wanted a woman to sing, “He got moves like Jagger.” But Levine was like, “What if I say, ‘I have the moves like Jagger.'”
And the rest is music history that brings us back to today!
Heart were the musical guests on The Tonight Show yesterday, and Jimmy Fallon wanted to perform a duet with them.
In honor of the Total Solar Eclipse, they sang Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart as it was happening.
And that makes sense because there was a Total Eclipse and Ann and Nancy Wilson’s band’s name in Heart.
What doesn’t make sense is why the host overacted in their performance. Not everything needs to be Saturday Night Livey. It is OK to be serious every now and again, like with this song. It would have been so much better.
