Late night: Five guests to get excited for this week – March 18, 2019

Jordan Peele on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon starts off the week welcoming an Academy Award winning writer, director, and actor. Jordan Peele will be the first guest on Monday March 18.
Peele is back in the spotlight with a very busy schedule. Us, his follow up film to the massive hit Get Out, is set for release on March 22. Described as a psychological horror film, it stars Luptia Nyong’o, Winston Duke, and Elisabeth Moss. Considering the success of Get Out and the talented cast Peele has assembled, Us should be another big win for Peele.
Peele has stated that the movie was inspired by an episode of The Twilight Zone. That is certainly fitting considering Peele is the host and executive producer of CBS’ new version of the iconic science fiction series. The Twilight Zone is coming to CBS All Access on April 1. Peele will no doubt want to plug that project as well as Us.
Of course, we can’t forget that Peele got his start in comedy and certainly could have remained successful had that been his sole focus. But that means he will definitely be ready for any bit or game Jimmy Fallon has planned for The Tonight Show on Monday.
Larson has been on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show before to talk about her obsession with The Bachelor. Expect that topic to be brought up again considering the two-part finale kicks off Monday night as well.
