Watch Ariana Grande and Jimmy Fallon Perform a History of Duets

The pair took on everything from “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” to “Shallow” on The Tonight Show

Ariana Grande appeared on The Tonight Show ahead of the arrival of Wicked: For Good and took the opportunity to showcase a brief history of famous duets with host Jimmy Fallon.

The duo rolled through a series of duets, including Wicked musical number “For Good,” Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow,” and Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine.” Their performance spanned both Broadway and film, including animated flicks like Aladdin. They concluded with Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes’ “(I’ve Had) the Time of My Life.”

Grande also sat down with Fallon to discuss Wicked: For Good, which in theaters Friday, and her upcoming slot hosting Saturday Night Live alongside musical guest Cher. “I’m so excited,” Grande said of SNL. “I didn’t know it was going to be her until like two days before, and I found out and I almost passed out. I had no idea what to do. What an honor.” She added, “This is one of the gayest SNL episodes that has ever happened, right?”

The singer reflected on making both Wicked films at the same time. “It was interesting to watch it so many years after we had finished because shot both simultaneously,” she said of the sequel. “So in my head they’re both one story and one experience.” She added that she’s “grateful” it was split into two movies because “you really get to know Glinda the way that I got to know her and to love her in order to play her.”

After Wicked: For Good, Grande will prepare to head out on the road for her Eternal Sunshine tour, which will mark her first extended run of concert dates since 2019. But in a new interview on Amy Poehler‘s Good Hang podcast, the singer says she has no plans for another tour in the foreseeable future.

“The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up,” she said. “I don’t want to say anything definitive. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time. I’m going to give it my all and it’s going to be beautiful. I think that’s why I’m doing it because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah!’”

Steve Martin, Alison Brown Perform ‘Let’s Get Out of Here’ on ‘Fallon’

The duo recently released a collaborative bluegrass album, Safe, Sensible and Sane

Steve Martin and Alison Brown appeared on The Tonight Show to showcase their instrumental bluegrass track “Let’s Get Out of Here.” Martin and Brown performed the rousing song on banjo with the help of several other live musicians, including two strings players.

“Let’s Get Out of Here” is the closing track on Martin and Brown’s recent LP, Safe, Sensible and Sane, which dropped earlier this month. The album marks the musicians’ first collaborative release, and includes appearances from Jackson Browne, Vince Gill, the Indigo Girls, Tim O’Brien, Jason Mraz, and Della Mae. It was tracked live at Compass Sound Studio in Nashville.

“With the banjo, there are so many styles you can work with, but Alison and I both have an ear for its more melodic, melancholy aspect,” Martin explained in a statement about the album. “We got together and played music for days, and ended up making a record where our entire banjo histories coalesce.”

“We didn’t start off by saying, ‘Let’s make an album,’” Brown added. “We were just having a good time writing songs, and at some point we realized we’d written enough to gather them all together and put a bow on it. There was a joy and ease and sense of fun to the whole process, and now hopefully everyone who listens will share that joy.”

Martin recorded the album in the midst of filming his hit TV series, Only Murders in the Building. The fifth season of the show premiered on Sept. 9. Hulu recently announced that the series will head overseas to London to film its sixth season. Martin’s co-star Selena Gomez celebrated the news with a post on Instagram featuring a photo of her with Martin and Martin Short. “We are eternally grateful we can bring any of you any sort of joy,” she wrote. “My deepest gratitude from Steve, Marty and myself.”

KPop Demon Hunters Perform 'Golden' on 'Fallon'

KPop Demon Hunters Perform ‘Golden’ on ‘Fallon’

written by jummy84

The singing voices behind Huntr/x, the fictional K-pop girl group in the wildly popular, animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, took The Tonight Show stage on Tuesday night for Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami’s first-ever live performance together.

The trio sang their hit single, “Golden,” and also joined host Jimmy Fallon on the couch for an interview. The vibrant performance kicked off with an animated intro before the trio took the stage to showcase the soaring track.

In the animated musical fantasy film, Ejae, Nuna and Rei Ami sing for the roles of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, respectively. (Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo voice the character’s spoken lines.) The movie follows the K-pop sensation as they moonlight as the mystical destroyers of an invisible demon realm and are soon faced with their biggest battle yet when rival band, Saja Boys, turn out to be demons intent on stealing Huntr/x fans.

During their interview with Fallon, the singers reflected on the phenomenon of the film and their recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, calling the opportunity “so insane.” They also shared how amazing it’s been to get emotional responses from both viewers and themselves.

“This movie has affected all us so much on an emotional level,” Nuna told Fallon. “I’m emotionally constipated, so I take a very, very long time to process my emotions. But I guess I was due for a cry the day of the premiere because literally five minutes into the film I’m, like, bawling my eyes out. And it’s weird because the thing that got me was seeing kimbap, which is a Korean food, it’s like a Korean rice roll, animated on screen.”

Following its premiere, KPop Demon Hunters’ skyrocketed to take the title of the Netflix’s most-watched animated film ever. Meanwhile, its soundtrack reached Number One on the Billboard 200, while “Golden” which has enjoyed eight weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. The album features a high energy score composed by Marcelo Zarvos and K-pop tracks produced by the likes of Teddy Park, Lindgren, Stephen Kirk, and Ian Eisendrath.

Trending Stories

EJAE and Mark Sonnenblick, two of the songwriters among the impressive roster of collaborators, spoke to Rolling Stone in August about why the soundtrack has resonated with fans. “I don’t know if Mark knows this, but when I wrote ‘Golden,’ I was going through a hard time. I actually cried singing the demo, because it resonated with me so much,” said EJAE, the singing voice of Rumi, who opened up about her own experience in the K-pop world. “Maybe that’s why ‘Golden’ is ‘going up up up.’ Because everyone’s going through a hard time. And they want to feel hope.”

Earlier this summer, Netflix confirmed plans to submit “Golden” for consideration in the Best Original Song category at the 98th Academy Awards.

Watch Addison Rae Showcase ‘Diet Pepsi,’ ‘New York’ on ‘Fallon’

The singer also recounted going to see Justin Bieber when she was growing up and creating a chant in hopes of going backstage

Addison Rae stopped by The Tonight Show to perform a medley of “Diet Pepsi” and “New York.”

The pop singer took the late-night show’s stage in gold gown, offering an ethereal take on “Diet Pepsi,” the hit single she dropped last August. She then danced across the floor to a segment of “New York” before climbing onto host Jimmy Fallon‘s desk.

Rae also sat down with Fallon to discuss her debut album, Addison, and celebrating her 25th birthday. “I actually love aging,” she said. “I think aging is amazing. I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, everything just feels like it matters much less when you get older. Yeah, actually, anything goes.’ As long as I’m surviving, I’m good.”

The singer recalled going to see a Justin Bieber concert on one of her birthdays when she was growing up. “Just seeing him on stage, I was dying,” she said. “But also just like, ‘Wow, one day that’ll be me up there in the levitating heart.’” She added that she created a chant with her cousins to get Bieber’s attention: “We’ve got Bieber fever. It’s 102. And the only way to cure it is to go backstage with you.” She noted, “It didn’t work. Epic fail.”

Rae released Addison in June. The album came a year after she first began teasing new music. Last June, she posted a video of her underwater as the then-unreleased track “Aquamarine” played over it. Lead single “Diet Pepsi” was dropped in August, with “Aquamarine” officially arriving a couple months later. Ahead of the album, she unveiled five total songs off the LP, all with their own videos.

The singer recently appeared in the trailer for Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story, playing one of the infamous murderer’s alleged victims. Premiering on Netflix today, The Ed Gein Story is the third installment of Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true crime anthology series, following seasons on Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez Brothers. Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnam will star as Gein and Laurie Metcalf will portray his mother, with whom Gein shared a strangely close relationship. Rae is billed as playing Evelyn Hartley, a teen girl who went missing in 1953.

Doja Cat Co-Hosts ‘Tonight Show’ With Jimmy Fallon: Exclusive Photos

Is there enough room behind The Tonight Show desk for two hosts? On Wednesday night’s (Oct. 1) episode, Jimmy Fallon makes room for Doja Cat to join him as co-host, and Billboard has exclusive photos from her appearance.

And it looks like a fun one: In addition to two pics of the duo behind the famous late-night desk — one of which has each co-host holding up a vinyl copy of Doja’s just-released fifth studio album Vie — we also have a pic of the pop star teaching Fallon how to dance. (It looks like she might be giving him step-by-step moves to New Kids on the Block’s “The Right Stuff” dance here.) Watch a clip from the dance lesson below:

Doja’s ’80s-inspired ‘fit for the episode is a shimmering silver tunic paired with metallic tights and matching silver pumps, finished with lavender leather gloves.

Elsewhere during her co-hosting gig — her debut behind the desk — Billboard is told that Doja does a dramatic Real Housewives re-enactment alongside Tarik Trotter of The Roots.

But Doja isn’t the only special guest visiting Studio 6B on Wednesday night: Social superstar Druski will sit down for an interview and Blood Orange is the night’s performer.

Doja joins an elite group of stars who have co-hosted The Tonight Show, also including fellow musicians Ed Sheeran, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B and Shawn Mendes.

The Tonight Show airs at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and streams next day on Peacock, but you can check out our exclusive photos right now.

Jimmy Fallon & More – Hollywood Life

Jimmy Fallon & More – Hollywood Life

While some conservative figures supported ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian’s fellow late-night hosts and famous friends condemned the Walt Disney Company’s decision to shelve Jimmy Kimmel and his staff “indefinitely.” Though he hasn’t been fired, the threat still looms as the public awaits his response on the matter.

Below, Hollywood Life has compiled how fellow late-night comedians and celebrities reacted to Kimmel’s suspension.

Bill Maher

Calling Kimmel his “compatriot,” Maher disagreed with the ABC comedian’s “MAGA crowd comment” but defended his right to free speech.

“Well, I guess you all heard Jimmy Kimmel, my friend, my compatriot,” Maher began. “He’s been canned by ABC for comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s assassin. … Jimmy, pal, I am with you, I support you, and on the bright side, you don’t have to pretend anymore that you like Disneyland. That was always a great part of it for me when I got my ass canned over there.”

Jimmy Fallon

“The big story is that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the FCC, leaving everyone thinking, ‘WTF?’” Jimmy Fallon joked at the start of his monologue, before taking a more serious turn. “To be honest with you all, I don’t know what’s going on, and no one does. But I do know Jimmy Kimmel, and he’s a decent, funny and loving guy, and I hope he comes back.”

Fallon then incorporated a “Big Brother”-esque voice to censor anything he said against Donald Trump.

Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert, whose show was canceled by CBS in July 2025, did not hold back from condemning ABC during his monologue.

“Welcome, one and all, to The Late Show. I’m your host Stephen Colbert, but tonight, we are all Jimmy Kimmel,” Colbert began, calling out ABC for “blatant censorship …. with an autocrat, you cannot give an inch, and if ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive.”

Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart made a surprise Thursday evening appearance on The Daily Show to poke fun at the fear of censorship.

“We have another fun, hilarious, Administration-compliant show!” Jon said while pretending to be frightened. His hyperbolized compliments about Trump included calling the latter “father,” for example.

Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes, who was supposed to be Kimmel’s guest before the show got suspended, took to social media to share her reaction.

“I was supposed to go over and have a chat with my friend Jimmy Kimmel on his show, but as you have heard by now, the Jimmy Kimmel show has been pulled indefinitely, abruptly, because of complaints from the Trump administration,” Sykes said in an Instagram video. “So, let’s see, he didn’t end the Ukraine war or solve Gaza within his first week but he did end freedom of speech within his first year. Hey, for those of you who pray, now’s the time to do it. Love you, Jimmy.”

Jimmy Fallon Reacts To Jimmy Kimmel Suspension.

written by jummy84

Jimmy Fallon joined in on the political fireworks, the day after his pal Jimmy Kimmel was pulled from ABC.

Fallon, who tends to shy away from too much political material, opened his show by saying, “The big story is that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the FCC leaving everyone thinking WTF.”

“A lot of people are worried that we won’t keep saying what we want to say, or that we’ll be censored, but I’m going to cover the President’s trip to the UK, just like I normally would,” said Fallon before launching into a bit where the punchlines of his jokes were changed by a voiceover.

“President Trump just wrapped up his three day trip to the UK, and he looked incredibly handsome… His tie was exactly the right length and his face looked like a color that exists in nature, and his hair looked better than Conrad’s from The Summer I Turned Pretty,” he joked.

“Anyway, to sum it up, President Trump is making America great again by restoring our national reputation, reinvigorating our economy and rebuilding our military. I hereby nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize,” he added. “See, we can still say what we want.”

Fallon joked that he woke up to “100 text messages from my dad saying, ‘I’m sorry they canceled your show’.”

He also had a heartfelt message for Kimmel, who is he is close friends with. Kimmel appeared on Fallon’s NBC gameshow Password last year and the two have swapped shows before as part of an April Fools’ Day prank.

“To be honest with you all, I don’t know what’s going on, no one does. But I do know Jimmy Kimmel, and he is a decent, funny, and loving guy. I hope he comes back.”

Fallon’s comments come 24 hours after ABC indefinitely preempted Jimmy Kimmel Live! following a furor around Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s killer.

On Monday, Kimmel said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr subsequently called Kimmel’s comments “some of the sickest conduct possible”.

This was soon followed by local station Nexstar saying it would “preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future” as it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk”.

Moments later, Disney made its own decision to pause the show.

bitchy | Donald Trump celebrated Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension & threatened Fallon, Meyers

The kids don’t know or remember, but Karl Rove largely paved the way for the current state of American politics today. Rove was George W. Bush’s Svengali and senior advisor throughout Bush’s eight years in the White House. This week, MAGA World has apparently gone too far for even Karl Rove. He wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed arguing that Trump and his people have to stop using Charlie Kirk’s murder as a 21st century Reichstag fire. Per Rove: “Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it.” When you’ve lost Karl Rove…

Well, Donald Trump doesn’t care about any of that. Yesterday, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Trump’s FCC director openly threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license if they kept Kimmel on the air. This is all happening because Kimmel questioned MAGA World’s campaign to use Kirk’s death for their own political means. Trump – who is still in the UK on a state visit – shared his thoughts on Kimmel’s suspension.

President Donald Trump is celebrating ABC indefinitely pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!

After ABC indefinitely pulled the show following comments the host made about the death of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, the president issued a statement on Truth Social. “Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED,” Trump wrote. “Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible.”

Trump also took aim at late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers in his reaction, writing, “That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT.”

[From People]

That’s what happens when you give an inch to fascists. Once they took down Stephen Colbert, it was the beginning of the end. There are few ways for Kimmel to shimmy out of this mess with his integrity intact, but before those decisions are made, Trump is letting everyone know that he wants the Tonight Show and Seth Meyers’ show taken down too. Jimmy Fallon must be like “what the actual f–k,” because Fallon barely does any politics! Seth has always been a brilliant critic of Trump and Trump World, but I could easily see how NBC would push out Seth to appease these Nazi a–holes.

Trump is, like, Oompa-Loompa-level orange today in England.

Mariah the Scientist Performs ‘Rainy Days,’ ‘Burning Blue’ on ‘Fallon’

The singer released her fourth album, Hearts Sold Separately, in August

Mariah the Scientist stopped by The Tonight Show to perform a medley of two songs, “Rainy Days” and “Burning Blue.” Both tracks appear on the R&B singer’s most recent album, Hearts Sold Separately.

The musician offered a dramatic rendition of the songs, complete with costumes and a haze of smoke. The military aesthetic from the performance mirrored the LP’s stark artwork, which depicts a single toy soldier in front of a pink background.

Mariah the Scientist recently spoke with Rolling Stone about crafting Hearts Sold Separately, her fourth album. “The climate of the world made me want to make a whole project about love,” she said. “I feel like nobody prioritizes love. Everybody looks at love like it’s a problem. I feel like back in the day, it wasn’t like that. Everybody wanted to have a family unit and be married.”

Trending Stories

She continued, “Now it’s like everybody is shying away from that a little bit. I just feel like there’s this long-standing war between men and women and I don’t know what that’s about. I wish it wasn’t like that, but it just is. And the more men and women I meet, I realize even though we are all human, there are huge fundamental differences that you don’t really acknowledge when you’re younger. I just feel like I’m Eve and I fucked around and bit the apple or something. Now I see everything totally different than what I thought it was. That was the catalyst of everything I wrote.”

The singer will embark on a world tour in support of the album next year. The 36-city jaunt includes a North American leg following stops in Paris, the U.K., and the Netherlands. It will begin in Paris on Jan. 12, and end in her hometown of Atlanta next April.
