Jimmy Fallon will welcome a former governor, a young actress and a rapper-actor on Wednesday’s Tonight Show.

Jimmy Fallon will interview “the Governator” himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, on tonight’s edition of The Tonight Show. The actor-turned-politician is now part of the NBC family as the new host of The Celebrity Apprentice, which premieres Monday, Jan. 2 at 8 p.m.

Schwarzenegger and the reality show were recently in the news after it was revealed that Donald Trump would remain executive producer of the reality series despite being elected president, reportedly earning $7 million for the role. Schwarzenegger defended the move, pointing out that he continued to receive royalties from his previous projects while serving as governor of California, though others like Trump surrogate Newt Gingrich called the Republican’s continued role as EP “weird.”

The actor has been a frequent Tonight Show guest, previously linking brains with Fallon, hawking a chopper for QVC and sending the late-night show to commercial break dressed as The Terminator.

Next, Fallon will talk to actress Elle Fanning, who will be on to promote the Golden Globe-nominated film 20th Century Women. In the new movie, she plays a 17-year-old who’s enlisted by her best friend Jamie’s mother Dorothea (Annette Bening) to help raise her son through his turbulent teenage years, along with the free-spirited photographer (Greta Gerwig) who rents a room in the family’s home. In an appearance on the show earlier this year, Fanning was gifted a box of bubblegum wrappers to add to her collection, and played “Catchphrase” with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

Lastly, the episode will feature a performance by Childish Gambino, also known as actor Donald Glover. The musician recently released a critically acclaimed, R&B-tinged album titled, Awaken, My Love!, which is a departure from his previous efforts in the rap genre. It debuted in the top five on the album charts this week. Glover is also fresh off a Critics’ Choice Awards win for his leading role in the FX series Atlanta, which he also created, in addition to a Golden Globe nomination.
