Late night: Five guests to watch this week – January 6, 2020

Will Smith

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Close out your late night week with a bang. Will Smith comes to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Jan. 9.

Smith is still one of the biggest stars in all of entertainment more than 30 years into his career. His latest movie, Bad Boys for Life, is sure to be a crowd-pleasing end to the Bad Boys franchise and further cement Smith’s legacy as one of the best action stars of all-time.

Bad Boys hit theaters in 1995 and its sequel was released in 2003. After years of hinting at a return to the franchise, Smith and Martin Lawrence will finally deliver on Jan. 17.

Nobody knows how to hype a movie better than Will Smith. His mere involvement in a project is typically enough to attract attention. Given the fanbase for Bad Boys, this movie doesn’t need much help with audiences either. Still, Smith brings unparalleled energy to every late night appearance and that is always a recipe for success on The Tonight Show.

Jimmy Fallon and company are unlikely to pass up the opportunity to play with Smith. Everything is on the table from going out on the street to interact with fans to a musical bit to playing another Tonight Show game. No matter what Smith ends up doing, fans will want to watch.

You can find the full late night television lineup right here. Let us know who you are most excited to see as late night finally returns from the holiday break. Be sure to check back with Last Night On for more news and highlights.
