Since The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is one of the best-known talk shows, it often is the venue that celebrates the biggest pop culture moments. For example, after the trio of women who provided the singing voices for KPop Demon Hunters' HUNTR/X had a disappointing SNL cameo, they gave their first televised live performance on The Tonight Show. That makes sense since, even though Jimmy Fallon once made a statement that exposed Hollywood, he seems to revel in celebrating show business.
In the coming days, The Tonight Show will once again become the venue of a celebration of one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of the last several years. The talk show is set to once again embrace the team behind a show that it has featured several times in the past. Over the next week, The Tonight Show will team with pivotal members of the Stranger Things team to promote the Netflix series coming to an end.
The Tonight Show will soon welcome a Stranger Things star and the minds behind the series
On NBC's official website, there is a page dedicated to The Tonight Show which contains images of the confirmed upcoming guests. As of the time of this writing, that page reveals that the coming episodes of The Tonight Show will feature four different people who are deeply connected to Stranger Things 5. It is worth noting that this is only the latest chapter of Stranger Things taking over Fallon's talk show. For example, The Tonight Show has recently welcomed Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Natalia Dyer, and Joe Keey.
The member of the Stranger Things team who will next appear on The Tonight Show is Jake Connelly as he will be a guest on Monday, Dec. 12. Connelly is a major part of Stranger Things 5 as he portrayed Derek Turnbow on the show. Of course, the actor's character was also referred to as Delightful Derek and another alliterative nickname that is too vulgar to include here.
The next person involved in the Netflix show that The Tonight Show will welcome is an actor who plays one of Stranger Things' most important characters, Finn Wolfhard. The actor who portrays Mike Wheeler will appear on Tuesday, Dec. 16. That appearance will be far from the first time Wolfhard has appeared on The Tonight Show, thanks to promoting movies he has starred in, as well as past Stranger Things seasons. Wolfhard has also made memorable appearances on The Tonight Show in group settings alongside his Stranger Things co-stars.
The final members of the Stranger Things team who are confirmed to appear on The Tonight Show in the coming week may be the most important of all. On Wednesday, Dec. 17, The Duffer Brothers will make a rare talk show appearance when they will be interviewed by Fallon. As the creators of Stranger Things, it is fascinating to contemplate what Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer will have to say about the series ending.
