“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” had a lively and entertaining episode recently, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and celebrity guests. Host Jimmy Fallon kicked off the show with his signature welcoming charm, acknowledging the excitement surrounding the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII.
Fallon couldn’t help but joke about the inevitable stomachaches that come with Super Bowl Sunday. With temperatures expected to be unseasonably warm in New York City, he quipped that everyone will be stuck indoors for six hours, glued to the television.
But this Super Bowl is not just any ordinary game; it’s predicted to be the most-watched TV event of all time. Airing on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+, the game promises to be a highly historic and memorable moment. Fallon even humorously suggested that even President Biden will remember this Super Bowl, joking about the president’s recent decline of a pre-Super Bowl interview with CBS.
Of course, the commercials are always a highlight of Super Bowl Sunday, and this year is no different. Companies are shelling out a whopping $7 million for a 30-second ad spot. Interestingly, some companies are choosing to test out shorter ads to avoid the exorbitant costs. Fallon shared humorous examples, including a Starbucks ad that got straight to the point and an H&M ad that simply highlighted shirts and pants.
On the topic of Super Bowl festivities, Fallon discussed the popular game day foods. From wings to spinach-artichoke dip, he jokingly commented on the staples of any Super Bowl party. He also pointed out that Sunday is one of the busiest delivery days of the year, humorously comparing the speed of Taylor Swift’s arrival from Japan to pizza delivery.
In true talk show fashion, Fallon showcased what mascots from the teams that didn’t make it to the Super Bowl were up to. With amusing props and comedic antics, the mascots of teams such as the Patriots, Saints, and Falcons kept the audience entertained.
Fallon then surprised everyone by announcing that President Biden declined to do a traditional pre-Super Bowl interview with CBS. However, the president agreed to appear on “The Tonight Show” instead. With a touch of fun and satire, Fallon conducted a comical interview with the “president,” eliciting laughter from the audience.
The talk show host couldn’t resist poking fun at a news report about Biden’s handling of classified documents. He engaged in a playful conversation with his sidekick, Steve Higgins, testing his memory with amusingly wrong answers to various questions.
The entertainment continued with hilarious sketches and gags, including an amusing moment with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer feeling a little under the weather during an interview. Other segments covered topics like frozen chicken-and-onion pilaf with rocks found at Trader Joe’s and Jimmy Fallon‘s amusing Star Trek fandom.
As always, “The Tonight Show” delivered an incredible lineup of guests. Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone appeared to promote the second season of his reality show, “The Family Stallone,” streaming on Paramount+. NBA player Jalen Brunson, an all-star point guard for the New York Knicks, discussed his foundation and new podcast. And Madi Diaz treated the audience to a fantastic musical performance.
With a mix of humor, celebrity interviews, and entertaining segments, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” provided an enjoyable and lively evening of entertainment. Stay tuned for an exciting lineup of guests in the upcoming episodes, including Queen Latifah, Tyler Perry, Michael Cera, and Jennifer Lopez in the week ahead. Don’t miss out on the laughter and fun!
