Jimmy Fallon left New York for a stop in Detroit on Monday night — and he made the most of his time in Motor City.
After an opening monologue song dedicated to everything Motown and the 313 have to offer, including references to Eminem, pedal pubs and quarterback Jared Goff, “The Tonight Show” took the cameras out of the Detroit Opera House for a bit with the Detroit Lions’ mascot, Roary.
Naturally, Steve Higgins and Fallon put on blue body suits as their uniforms as they learned to kick a field goal. And the comedians had a lot of pressure on them, considering the live audience literally stopped the show to chant “Goff” earlier in the segment.
The one-night only episode in Michigan also featured appearances from Aidan Hutchinson, Common, Ford CEO Jim Farley, Cade Cunningham and Keegan-Michael Key, the latter of whom even called the late night host the Lions’ good luck charm.
Despite normally filming at Studio 6B at 30 Rock, Fallon has also previously taped in cities such as Orlando, Minneapolis and Phoenix.
“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC before streaming next day on Peacock.
