Plot Synopsis

Taped in front of a live studio audience, THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON returned to its NYC origins, as host Jimmy Fallon took the reigns from Jay Leno. Fallon continued the typical TONIGHT SHOW format -- opening monologue followed by celebrity interviews -- but added his own popular segments from LATE NIGHT, including games with celebrities, musical parodies, buzzworthy sketches, #Hashtags, Thank You Notes and Slow Jam the News. Plus, The Roots continued to serve as Fallon's house band. On Monday, February 3, 2014, Jimmy Fallon was a guest on THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO in NBC's Burbank studios, as these legendary hosts passed the baton. Two weeks later, THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON debuted on Monday, February 17, 2014 at Midnight, immediately following coverage of the Winter Olympics, with Will Smith and musical guest U2 for the first night.

THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON kicked off the Fall 2015 season with a September 8-11 lineup full of musical superstars as well as a certain presidential candidate making a few headlines these days.

Frequent Fallon collaborator Justin Timberlake makes his return to the show on Wednesday, September 9, his first visit to Fallon's TONIGHT SHOW since premiere week. On the same evening Ellen DeGeneres and musical guest Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are scheduled to appear and the show will simultaneously be displayed at 11:35pm ET on a huge digital billboard in the heart of Times Square (Broadway between 45th & 46th streets) in midtown Manhattan.
