The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will air a special Sunday night edition following the Nov. 17, 2024 broadcast of Sunday Night Football on NBC. This unique scheduling brings Fallon’s humor and star-studded lineup to an expanded audience of football fans, promising a night of unforgettable entertainment.
Collaboration with NBC Sports
This post-football episode continues a tradition of collaboration between NBC Sports and Fallon’s late-night team. Chris Miller, the showrunner of The Tonight Show, expressed his excitement about the partnership:
“Every time we get the opportunity to work with our friends at NBC Sports, it’s something we look forward to. We can’t wait to bring our show to fans of Sunday Night Football. It’s going to be a must-watch night of TV.”
NBC Sports President Rick Cordella also highlighted the strong relationship between the two programs:
“Jimmy and the show have been great collaborators with NBC Sports over the years. What a great night of entertainment with a special episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, following Sunday Night Football.”

These A-list celebrities, combined with Fallon’s signature humor and audience engagement, promise a lively and memorable show to close out the weekend.
