Jimmy Fallon will be joined by another all-star lineup next Sunday, November 16, as NBC airs its latest post–Sunday Night Football edition of The Tonight Show.
The episode, following the Detroit Lions–Philadelphia Eagles game, will feature global superstar Rosalía and multi-platinum record producer DJ Khaled. The broadcast marks the third of four Sunday night specials scheduled this season, with one more postgame show set for December following the Houston Texans–Kansas City Chiefs matchup.
Rosalía, making her Tonight Show debut, will join Fallon for both a sit-down interview and a live performance of a song from her forthcoming fourth studio album, Lux.
The episode will air immediately after local news on both coasts on NBC and Peacock.
Tonight Show showrunner Chris Miller has described the collaboration with NBC Sports as a way to reach football audiences directly, noting that Fallon’s team often builds sports-themed sketches and guest segments into these postgame editions.
Fallon has previously hosted multiple Tonight Show episodes in the coveted post–NFL slot, including five Sunday broadcasts in 2019 and two following the Super Bowl in 2018 and 2015.
With Sunday Night Football continuing its 14-season streak as television’s top primetime program, NBC is betting the NFL lead-in will boost Fallon’s late-night ratings—just as Jimmy Kimmel Live! traditionally benefits Monday nights after ABC’s broadcasts of Monday Night Football.
Fallon’s last Sunday night broadcast, on October 26, drew a total audience of 1.9 million viewers—more than 50% higher than The Tonight Show’s Q3 average, per Nielsen Live+3 data. In the advertiser-coveted 18–49 demo, the show grew a whopping 240%, from a Q3 average of 170,000 viewers to 578,000.
