There is certainly a lot of excitement about the Stranger Things interviews happening on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, starting from Monday, Dec. 15. While these are huge, there are also many other exciting interviews to look forward to.
We can’t overlook the Stranger Things lineup, though. After already having the entire cast and seeing Millie Bobby Brown guest-host on Sunday, Dec. 7, the show is going all-things Stranger Things 5 this week. Let’s take a look at everything to look forward to during what is likely to be the last week of new episodes in 2025.
Monday, December 15
The first night of the week kicks off with Simu Liu, who will be on the show to talk about his upcoming spy thriller, The Copenhagen Test. He’ll talk all about what it’s like to have his brain hacked, which is the sci-fi element of the show that will drop as a binge-watch on Saturday, Dec. 27 on Peacock.
Then Jake Connelly will appear to talk about his role during Stranger Things season 5. It’s the first of a week of interviews. However, there’s still another interview to look forward to, with Alysa Liu reflecting on winning gold at the Grand Prix Final in Japan in figure skating. Greg Warren will top off the night with a comedic performance.
Tuesday, December 16
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon continues its Stranger Things promotion with Finn Wolfhard appearing on the show. He isn’t just there to talk about acting, though, as he will also perform from his album, “Happy Birthday.”
Then Martha Stewart will be on the show to talk about all the ways to elevate everyday life. Nathaniel Rateliff will finish off the night with an interview about the longevity of his band, Night Sweats.
Wednesday, December 17
Hump Day starts with Timothée Chalamet talking about Marty Supreme, his latest movie. In this, he plays a real-life aspiring ping-pong character, so he’ll get to talk all about getting into that mindset.
Then it’s the interview that’s taken eight years to happen! The Duffer Brothers will appear on The Tonight Show to talk about their Netflix series, which will release the final two parts on Christmas Day and then New Year’s Eve. Finally, Bleachers will perform.
Thursday, December 18
Finally, the talk about Stranger Things continues with Caleb McLaughlin coming to the show. It’s the last of the interviews before the finale drops!
Carmelo Anthony will then come to the show to talk about the NBA. He covers the NBA as a studio analyst, and with NBC just getting the rights to air the games, there’s a lot to break down. Darlene Love will top off the night as the musical guest, with Paul Shadder, Little Steven & the Disciples featured.
There are no guests confirmed for Friday, Dec. 19 just yet. We’ll keep an eye on the schedule, but this is likely to be a rerun.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on NBC.
