In a late-night first, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” is getting into the gridiron groove with five telecasts that will follow the fall’s most exciting sports event, NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”
The first post-“Sunday Night Football” show will air September 8 following a prime AFC match-up when the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Foxborough, Mass., to take on the World Champion New England Patriots.
Guests for the telecast will include Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan, who will share a clip of their new film, “Just Mercy.” In addition, Kelly Clarkson will appear to discuss her latest project, the daytime series “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” and singer Kane Brown will perform.
The other four “Tonight Show” Sunday telecasts are October 6, 20, 27 and December 1. “The Tonight Show” will air all five nights following late local news. Check local listings for specific times/markets.
Additionally, the show will broadcast an entire week live on September 23-27, which is the opening week of the new fall season.
“The Tonight Show” tapes before a live studio audience from Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Center.
