If you missed the special post-Sunday Night Football episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Dec. 7, you are not alone. The great news is this is a show you can catch up on whenever you want.
Yes, every now and then, there are special weekend episodes of The Tonight Show. This often happens after major games or when there is something big coming. This time, it happened after the Texans took on the Chiefs at the Arrow Head Stadium.
Millie Bobby Brown guest-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
When it comes to what you missed, it was all about Millie Bobby Brown guest-hosting the episode. At first, she took to the chair to talk about Stranger Things season 5, but then she joined in for a few skits and to co-host the rest of the episode. The two enjoyed a “Road Trip Medley” and the “Pup Quiz” during the night.
Keenan Thompson from Saturday Night Live then took to the couch to talk about Good Sports, his weekly program that celebrates all things pop culture. Then Burna Boy performed on the stage.
How to catch up on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Millie Bobby Brown
The episode itself aired on Sunday, Dec. 7. One thing I dislike about these special episodes is that they’re not heavily promoted. It leads to a lot of people missing out on the night.
The good news is you can check out the episode on Peacock. All episodes of The Tonight Show stream on Peacock the following day, usually just hours after the episodes air live, because the drop is around 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT.
You can also catch up thanks to YouTube. A lot of the segments are shared on YouTube the day after, especially when it comes to the interviews. The musical performances and any special segments can sometimes be missing from the social media platform (although not this time!), which makes sense considering NBC really wants you to watch via Peacock.
The Tonight Show is as normal this week
For the rest of the week, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will be as normal. There are guests planned for up to Wednesday, with the end of the week still to be confirmed. That’s perfectly normal considering it all depends on the celebrity availability.
There is likely a break coming soon. After all, we’re heading into the Christmas and New Year period. That doesn’t mean there’s no more Jimmy Fallon on our screens, as he will be involved in the Jimmy Fallon’s Holiday Seasoning Spectacular and Password’s holiday special.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on NBC.
