Since The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon premiered, the late-night talk show has developed a dedicated fan following. As a result, there have been many people who've cared when Jimmy Fallon exposed Hollywood and when he made a heartbreaking announcement about his personal life. Similarly, there often is a lot of excitement when The Tonight Show welcomes beloved stars as guests.
Ahead of the premiere of one of 2025's most anticipated movies, The Tonight Show is set to welcome an incredible week of talented and popular guests. That is the case because it has recently been revealed that The Tonight Show is set to celebrate Wicked week in the days leading to the release of the landmark movie Wicked: For Good.
The Tonight Show's Wicked Week will include appearances by huge stars
After Wicked was widely released in November 2024, it quickly became a mammoth hit, both critically and commercially. Since that film ended on a cliffhanger, that has positioned the franchise to take 2025 by storm too. On Nov. 21 2025, Wicked: For Good will be widely released in America. In the days before that film event, the upcoming film will be celebrated on late-night TV.
Between Sunday, Nov. 16 and Wednesday, Nov. 19, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon will welcome five important people connected to Wicked: For Good. The first two of those guests will appear during a special post-Sunday Night Football edition of the talk show. During that episode, Rosalía and DJ Khaled will appear and debut their song "Wicked Beat Bit." It is important to note that, as an article on NBC's official website notes, the appearance will mark the first time that Rosalía will be performing on The Tonight Show.
The next day, on Monday, Nov. 17, The Tonight Show will welcome the Wicked movies' main actor, Cynthia Erivo. Of course, Wicked week wouldn't be complete without an appearance by Erivo's co-star, Ariana Grande, who will be the guest on Wednesday, Nov. 18. Finally, Michelle Yeoh will join The Tonight Show as a guest on Thursday, Nov. 19.
After each episode of The Tonight Show premieres on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT, it will be available to stream in full on Peacock the following day. The Tonight Show's YouTube channel also typically uploads clips from the talk show shortly after they premiere on NBC. That means that there will be many ways for fans of the Wicked franchise to enjoy the upcoming special episodes of Jimmy Fallon's show.
