Jimmy Fallon has invited the latest winner of The Traitors to his late-night castle.
Rob Rausch, the 27-year-old snake wrangler and two-time Love Island USA islander, will visit NBC’s The Tonight Show this Tuesday, March 3. Other guests that night include Penélope Cruz (The Bride) and Luke Grimes (of CBS’ Yellowstone spinoff Marshals), plus a musical performance by the electronic band Fcukers.
Rausch’s path to victory in Season 4 of the hit Peacock reality competition? After being chosen as a traitor by Emmy-winning host Alan Cumming, Rausch turned on his fellow traitors and manipulated his faithful castmates to get to the end of the game, culminating in an emotional final two reveal with Love Island alumna Maura Higgins.
Rausch’s appearance is the latest example of The Tonight Show tapping into the pop culture zeitgeist when booking guests. Recent months have seen Fallon welcome nearly the entire Stranger Things cast, Heated Rivalry hunk Hudson Williams, multiple Scream 7 stars, and this coming Monday a trio of Olympic gold medalists.
Almost exactly a year prior to Rausch’s appearance, The Tonight Show had on the winners of The Traitors Season 3. As seen in the video below, Gabby Windey, Dylan Efron, Dolores Catania, and Lord Ivar Mountbatten talked with Fallon about their victory, what they did to celebrate, and what it was like working with Tom Sandoval and “Boston Rob” Mariano.
