So, Thursday night on NBC, it’s Jimmy Fallon doing his Jimmy Fallon thing, and frankly, that’s enough for some folks. But for those requiring a little extra oomph in their late-night viewing, fear not: comedy legend Martin Short is gracing the “Tonight Show” stage. Short, a man whose comedic timing could defuse a bomb, is likely to deliver his usual brand of sharp wit and unpredictable energy. Will he break out an absurd character? Launch into a spontaneous song? Frankly, the unpredictability is half the fun.
Joining Short is “Saturday Night Live” standout Chloe Fineman, a master impressionist whose comedic range spans from quirky characters to spot-on celebrity impersonations. Fineman’s recent SNL work has garnered a lot of attention, particularly her take on the current cultural landscape.
And because every talk show needs a musical interlude, Jimmy is set to perform with The Roots. Whether it’s a silly cover or an original tune, The Roots almost always bring the good times.
Tune in to “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 11:35 PM on NBC.
