-Yeah.
[ Birds chirping ] -Hi, everybody.
This is "The Tonight Show: At Home Edition."
I'm in my tent, obviously.
And this is the logo.
Clearly, this was drawn by Frannie.
Was she distracted today?
-[Laughs]
I mean what is this?
What is this at all?
She was clearly like ready for a treat.
You know, like, "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah."
Anyway, it should say, "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,"
but I don't know what she wrote down there.
Tapings? Anyways.
Tonight's show, we're Zooming in with J Balvin,
who has a new album out, called "Colores,"
and his charity is
familiesbelongtogether.org
and domestic workers.org.
That is who he's working closely with right now
and that's who we'll be discussing later,
as well as his brand-new album, which is awesome.
I'm listening to "Amarillo" as we speak.
Guys, I'd like to do the monologue tonight.
I'd like to start off with that.
I want to thank my camera operator, my wife, Nancy,
who has maybe laughed at three jokes
-[Laughs] -this whole week, so, fantastic.
That's support right there. Thank you, honey.
Alright. Here we go. [ Clears throat ]
Welcome to "The Tonight Show: At Home Edition" --
Tented Edition. Well, guys, we made it
to the end of week 1 in self-quarantine.
So far, our spirits are high
and our wine supply is low.
-[Chuckle] -Listen to this.
I read that breweries across the country
are turning beer into hand sanitizer.
But be careful with Coors Light sanitizer
'cause there's not enough alcohol in it to do anything.
[ Laughter ]
But here's some good news.
It's officially spring, and it was over 70° today.
It was nice. People everywhere
were walking around in their seersucker face masks.
-[Chuckle] -This is great --
In France, a quarantined man ran a marathon inside his apartment.
Yep, everyone was excited for the guy,
except for the people living in the apartment
right below him.
"What are you doin' up there, Jean-Luc?"
That's right, a man ran an entire marathon
in his apartment. By the end,
his nipples were socially distant from his chest.
[ Laughs ]
Officials are warning people to stop flushing Lysol wipes
'cause they're damaging the sewers.
Yep, the only thing Americans should flush is toilet paper
and senators who profited off the virus.
I saw that a restaurant in Minnesota is offering
a free roll of toilet paper
with every takeout order over $25.
That's way better than my plan --
running into Chipotle and stealing 10,000 napkins.
Everyone's going nuts for toilet paper.
It used to be, when you'd walk around with toilet paper
stuck to your shoe, people would laugh.
Now, they dive for it.
"It was mine! I saw it first!"
And, finally, I read that drive-in movie theaters
are becoming more popular.
[ Thunder rumbles ] People are going to drive-ins,
eating TV dinners,
and calling each other on the phone.
Man, this is gonna be the best summer of 1955!
[laughs] That's our monologue, everybody.
Welcome to "The Tonight Show: At Home Edition."
I'm in my tent. Would you like to see my tent?
Come on. Come on in my tent.
It only took me four hours to build.
Oh.
This is it.
This is our tent right here.
Clearly, the girls took it over
and made it into a fun clubhouse.
Coleman said it should take me 20 minutes to put this together.
[baritone] They lied!
Because it took me about 2.5 hours.
But, anyway.
It is dry, and it did rain last night,
so, props to Coleman on that.
It's pretty roomy. I actually --
I love it.
The more I'm in it, I felt like
I built somethin', you know?
I accomplished something.
And this episode is gonna be intense [in tents]
because I am in a tent!
[ Laughs ]
Nothing from Nancy. Alright. -[Laughs]
[ Funk sting plays ]
Today is Friday and that's also a time
where I write out my thank-you notes.
And I was very busy this week, clearly, with everything, so,

Let's go talk to J Balvin on Zoom.
[ Cheering and applause ]
-[Laughs]
-Great job.
[ Funk sting plays ]
-Hello. -Yeah, my man!
[laughing] Come on. -My man!
-You are the best, dude.
-Come on, bro. Happy to see you.
-Thank you so much for doin' this.
I appreciate this.
A lotta people are gonna appreciate this.
-Where you at right now? What's that room?
[ Laughter ]
What you gonna do now?
-It's almost like a tree house room.
-[laughs] Where are you, for real?
Is that a set?
-No, I'm not on a set. This is my house.
-No! Let me see what's that.
It's like a camo vine.
Okay. -Alright, man.
Okay, okay, okay.
-[Laughs] -Where you at?
-Where am I talking to you from?
Are you in Colombia?
-In Colombia, yeah.
-Wow!
What is the scene over there? How is everything?
-I mean, you know, like
we had "a little more time,"
while they were checking everything that happened
in China, then Spain, and, now, U.S.
So, we're really going fast here,
like taking, really, precautions.
We're already doing quarantine, you know,
and we just got a few cases. Like 100, right?
100 cases now.
-Wow. -So, this is crazy.
-It really is. -First time we live this, right?
-Yeah. Exactly.
And you're there in your house,
that's where you are?
-Yes. I'm in my house right now.
-It's beautiful. This is the house that you call
your temple? Is that correct? -No.
It's another one close to here.
-Oh. -We create a gym.
We did a gym here.
-Oh!
I would use none of that.
[ Laughter ]
I would use absolutely none of that. Wow!
That is fantastic.
Hey, speaking of fantastic,
congratulations on your new album, "Colores."
-Thank you.
-Yeah, let me see that cover.
Put it right on the screen. I love this.
-There you go.
-Now, every single that you've been putting out,
I notice you have a different flower and I go,
"I wonder if that's like a theme that you're gonna do."
How'd you come up with the flower theme?
-Yeah, this is a collaboration that I did with Master Murakami,
which is a great artist from Japan.
-Oh, yeah.
-So, it's beautiful that we had the chance, you know.
Like the name of the album is "Colores," so, you know,
what other best way, to have flowers
and represent different colors, you know?
And we create a lot of different flowers
and we just wanted to like level it up.
He even did myself right here.
-[Laughing]
That is fantastic.
What color is your hair, by the way, right now?
-Right now?
Blue with white.
-[laughing] Yeah.
-Yeah. -That's what I'm talkin' about, buddy.
I know you're always keeping it real.
No, it's cool.
If you go through the track listings,
can I try to guess?
'Cause my Spanish is okay.
-Okay. -But I can try to guess
what color it is, if you tell me the track listing.
-Amarillo.
-That's what I'm listening to, right now, "Amarillo," by you.
That's yellow.
-Yes. Yes.
Okay.
"Azul."
-Azul? Blue.
-uh-huh. What are you reading now?
You have your cellphone right there with you,
checking the different -- -No, no, I swear, I swear,
I swear. I'll look right at you.
-Okay. "Rojo."
-Red.
-Okay. -Do I look crazy?
-Okay, okay, okay.
¿Qué sigue?
"Negro."
-Negro, uh, uh, black.
-Yeah. "Rosa."
-Rosa, so it's not rojo.
It's rosa. That's pink?
-Pink! Yes, sir! Yes, sir.
"Gris."
-Gris.
-It sounds like in English, "grease."
-Gri-- Gray? Gray?
Gray? -Yes, yes, gray.
Okay.
-I'm freakin' out.
-"Verde."
-Verde is green.
Love verde.
-Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
-I love that. I remember learning Spanish
and that was my word. I love verde.
-"Blanco."
-Blanco is white.
-Yes.
And "Arcoiris."
-Say it again. -Arcoiris.
You remember the last time I was on the show?
You said arcoiris 20 times. -Yeah.
-Arcoeres. I did say it. Wait. I did say this.
Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
I remember this. What was it again?
It was arcoiris and you taught me how to say it.
Rainbow! [clapping] Rainbow, rainbow,
rainbow, rainbow, rainbow.
[ Laughs ]
"Colores"! Oh, my gosh.
That's right. You taught me that last time.
I love it. -Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
-J, everyone has been bringing their charity
that they're working closely with
when they come on the show,
so thank you for doing this show.
But the charity that you're working with right now is
Families Belong Together. -Yeah.
-And they're a part of the
National Domestic Workers Alliance.
But what is Families Belong Together
and what are they saying?
-I mean, you know, it's like they take care of the kids
that were, you know, separated by,
you know, their parents,
you know, through all these immigration laws.
So they're kids without family.
-Yeah. And this is -- How long --
When did you get involved with these guys?
-We got involved with them since
we started the album "Colores"
because I wanted to, like, give hope to the world
and give colors, and that's why we --
You know, that's why we working together
because, you know, I'm Latino, you know?
And I used to -- I'm an immigrant.
You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not from the States,
but I used to, you know, try to work in U.S.,
and, um, I understand how it feels.
So that really, you know -- It really hurt me a lot
because when you see -- basically when you see U.S.,
if I'm not mistaken, it's a country of immigrants.
You know, it's a lot of people from all over the world,
you know?
And it's hard to me to see all these kids being separated,
you know, from their parents because of the immigration laws.
You know, and it's just like -- It's just crazy to me.
That's why we're supporting this and we working together.
Giving some hope, you know?
-Speaking of "Colores,"
one thing that Families Belong Together are doing,
if you follow @colorWOborders...
they have a coloring book for kids.
So if you're looking for your kids --
People -- Anyone watching this looking to spend time
with their kids just to do something,
you can get this coloring book.
And in the coloring book, they have no borders.
There's no lines. -Exactly.
-I thought that was pretty cool. -Exactly.
You know, we drawing these flowers full of happiness,
you know, and coloring them.
-Yeah, or you can get your kids to --
Do you know those guys behind you?
-[ Laughs ] Yes. Yes.
[ Laughs ]
-You blink at me if you're being held hostage, okay?
-No, no. I'm good. I'm good.
[ Laughter ]
-You know, the one thing I wanted to say to you
is you were supposed to release the record,
your album on Friday,
but yet you released it early on Thursday.
-Yeah.
-You were trending all night last night. Why?
-Yeah, it's been trending worldwide on Twitter
and trending worldwide on YouTube.
You know, just, like, amazing and the different charts.
It's just like -- I wanted to do it because
people right now are really desperate at their houses.
You know, kids, they follow us.
You know, I know that
this is not the regular time to drop an album
because everything goes, like, "against"
what normally works when it comes to marketing.
But I was like, "You know,
I'm gonna stop being a competitor for a second for real
and just give light and give colors to the people
that are right now in their houses,
feeling a little frustrated."
So I was like, "You know, let's drop this album right now
and just let's give them colors."
Let's give them hope, give them you know, a different vibe
that they can just, like, feel it.
So that's why we did it.
-You really did, and we really appreciate it.
And everyone does. That's why you're obviously trending.
It's because we love you.
Thank you so much for doing this.
Congrats on the album. It's awesome.
And right now "Amarillo" is what I'm thinking right now.
It's a perfect song for right now.
-"Amarillo," my G.
That's why you have to listen right now.
And all the different colors of the album.
And I'm grateful...
for always being so kind with me,
and I hope to see you real soon.
-We will. We will. We got this.
-Yes, sir. -Thank you, bud.
-Love, my G. Take care. Bye.
-Hey, guys. Quickly, I did this thing on the "Today" show.
They were nice enough to have me on yesterday.
And, again, props to everyone over there --
Savannah and Hoda and everyone, Al and Craig,
and everyone that's working so hard there.
We all need you, and we really appreciate what you're doing.
As I was talking to them, I was trying to cheer them up,
and I said we should have a cow-bell challenge,
and I took a cow bell, and I hit it.
I said just to be loud at 3:00 in the afternoon.
Go out your windows or your front doors
and just bang pots and pans just to make sure
all the first responders and nurses
and healthcare workers and doctors and teachers
and everyone out there knows that we're loud.
We want to thank them, and we want to support them.
I did it pretty fast.
I don't know if anyone heard me say it.
But today I figured --
I told everyone to do it 3:00 Eastern time.
I might as well do it.
So I went out with my kids to our bathroom window,
and we started banging pots and pans, and it was fun.
And what really struck me is that, at the end,
I asked everyone to do it for one minute.
And so we just stopped for a second,
and I could hear three different neighbors
from my neighborhood banging pots and pans.
Listen. They're all banging.
[ Distant banging ] -Did you hear that?
[ Distant banging ]
-It just made me feel like -- It just made me feel real good.
So thank you for doing that.
And, really, thanks to everyone I just listed.
Um, you guys are doing amazing work.
Alright. Back to the show.
[ Guitar strums ]
Okay, guys. I'm gonna end the show tonight with a tiny song.
This one's called "Cooped Up."
