Hi, everybody.
Welcome to "The Tonight Show At Home Edition."
Guys, we had some great news yesterday.
Our friends over at State Farm
said they will match up to $100,000 of donations.
So, if you're on YouTube right now,
click that button, donate to redcross.org/statefarm.
Our neighbors over at State Farm,
thank you, thank you so much, for doing this.
It's the coolest thing
and I just love how everyone's just helping out.
It's just really amazing.
Speaking of helping out, I wanted to say,
we talked yesterday about Steve Higgins' daughter.
Anna Higgins is a nurse
and we thanked her for all she does,
but, to every nurse out there, I really wanna say
thank you so much for what you're doing.
You guys are on the front lines and the doctors as well.
You're heroes, so, thank you, guys, so much.
We have a fun show tonight.
My pal, my BFF, Demi Lovato is on the show.
What?!
She is the greatest.
We're gonna talk to her.
We're gonna have a little art class,
a little painting lesson, with Demi.
She's been doing a lotta painting
and I'm gonna try a self-portrait with her.
And then, she's gonna sing her new song,
"I Love Me," to close out the show tonight.
And it's a beautiful song with a great message
and she can do it all. She's great.
Also, I have Jonathan Van Ness is on the show.
He has a children's book called "Peanut Goes for the Gold"
and it is about a...
nonbinary guinea pig
who wants to win the gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics.
So, it's one of those books.
"Oh, seen that one before, yeah, obviously."
[chuckle] It's so great to talk to him
and we'll find out their charities,
which we have right here, actually.
This is Demi Lovato's charity.
Winnie wrote this out. We'll -Mm.
-maybe do a chyron for ya so you can see.
#cut50.
It's a petition for you to sign,
basically,
raising awareness for prisoners and people incarcerated
that need help during this time as well.
A little criminal justice there.
And then, right here, this is aliforneycenter.org.
And this is more of a New York, local charity
that Jonathan will talk about later in the show.
But I appreciate it.
Guys, let's do a little monologue.
We did it yesterday from the lemonade stand,
so, now, we graduate and we have a real, actual,
working desk.
Look how exciting this is.
Wow.
So. It's a little rickety, but this is it right here.
My camera operator is my wife.
Nancy, I love you so much.
If you want to, you can zoom in a little bit.
Gary, I guess you wanna come in, too.
Okay. -Hi, Gar.
-Gary, you wanna be a guest?
-Higgins.
-C'mere, Gar. [snaps fingers]
-[Laughs] [ Thud ]
Good girl. Alright.
Welcome to "The Tonight Show," everybody.
"At Home Edition." It's a fun day in our house
'cause I decided to cook up a real special meal.
[ Smoke alarm beeping ]
Welcome to "The Tonight Show At Home Edition."
It's a fun day in our house 'cause it's pizza night!
What a show we have for you guys.
Demi Lovato and Jonathan Van Ness
are my guests tonight and who knows?
Maybe the My Pillow guy will drop in for no reason at all.
Did you see that yet, honey?
Oh, yeah. I saw it, too.
Let's get to some news.
A Navy hospital ship has arrived in New York
because, if there's one thing we've learned from the crisis,
it's that you definitely want to be on a giant ship.
Well, this is nice.
Last night, the Empire State Building
was lit up in red-and-white flashing lights
to honor healthcare workers.
When they saw that, New Yorkers were like,
"That's great.
Maybe next time, could you give us a heads up?!"
What?! I thought we were being invaded by North Korea!
The flash-- I didn't even know it could do that!
[ Laughing ]
Gosh! Warn me. Warn me, folks.
Yep, everyone was confused
by the red-and-white flashing lights.
At first, New Yorkers thought it meant
Target finally got a shipment [laughing] of toilet paper.
I saw that there's a Microsoft Excel
training program now available for $49.99.
Yep, I'm "three weeks of isolation" bored,
but I'm not quite "Microsoft Excel training" bored.
This year, you can order --
I saw, this year, you can order Girl Scout Cookies online.
That's awesome.
And, to give you the real experience,
after you buy two boxes, a Girl Scout pops up onscreen
and guilts you into buying two more.
[ Laughs ]
-[Chuckle]
-I guess. What's another box of
[Southern accent] Thin Mints?!
Gimme a Thin Mint!
[own accent] I heard people have been passing the time
by stress baking,
which is just like regular baking, except, when it's done,
you eat all of it over the sink.
[ Laughing ]
And, finally, in Australia,
an astrophysicist got magnets stuck up his nose
while trying to invent a device
to stop people from touching their faces.
That story again.
Hey, Winnie and Frannie, you both have what it takes
to be astrophysicists!
-[Laughing]
-And that's our monologue for tonight.
Guys, you've been sending in great questions called
#AskTheFallons,
and questions you wanna ask my wife, Nancy;
or my daughters, Winnie and Frannie.
So, we went for a social distancing walk today
and had a couple nice discussions.
Please enjoy.
Okay, so this is interview number 2.
Are those my sunglasses? -No.
Yes, I only own your sunglasses.
-Isn't it funny?
Sometimes we don't even practice it or whatever,
talk about it, plan it, but we wear the same things sometimes.
Stripey shirt or... -Yeah.
Or like Navy sweaters.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
We're looking like we're getting ready for a bad,
-Yeah. -awkward, family portrait.
-Yep.
-How's homeschooling, by the way?
It's been fun. -Oh, my gosh.
[gasp] Here comes a van.
Don't say anything.
-[Laughs]
-But we're gonna wave.
Hi!
Homeschooling?
These teachers are brilliant.
-Amazing. -Devoted, loyal.
They are just going so out of their way
to make this okay for those of us
[laughing] who do not know what we're doing.
Raising hand high.
And we're getting through it.
Here we go.
-Are you getting better at Zoom?
-I am getting -ish.
I still fight it, but I keep saying,
about this whole virus thing, "Stop fighting it.
Stop fighting the change.
Stop fighting the new way of life, for now.
Just go with it and I think will help you mentally."
-Okay, these are questions people wanna know
or wanted me to ask you. -Okay.
-"What's your favorite memory with Gary?"
This is from @prockj.
-My most favorite memory with Gary was...
[ Laughter ]
-It's not the delivery.
-Yes! Of course!
The first memory is my favorite memory with Gary.
Gary was a complete surprise!
And --
-By the way, guys -- and girls,
-Yes. -whoever's watching.
If you're gonna get a surprise for your wife,
don't get her a dog 'cause
it's like getting her a job, really.
-It was another job.
-[Laughs] -But I love Gary --
-Is that why you were crying? -No.
[laughing] I really cried because I couldn't believe
she was so beautiful and perfect and so cute.
And I just couldn't even believe it.
But then, of course, I probably started bawling,
trying to think of, "What do we have?
I need to take care of her. Where does she sleep?
[singsong] What's the plan? What's the plan?!"
Ugh! She's the best.
She's part of the family.
-[Laughing] -She's also very loyal.
I was thinking about the time -- -And loving.
-Remember when --
[ Laughter ] We were having a party.
I wanna say it was Thanksgiving
-Oh, no. -or Winnie --
Frannie's birthday or something
and everyone was upstairs with your dad
and your dad had the walker
and you were trying to get your dad safely
[ Laughter ] to the elevator
so that he can leave. -Ugh!
But then, someone had Gary on a leash
because we didn't wanna bring Gary to the party
or something. We kept her -Because Gary's
-in a separate room. -a bit of a jumper.
-Yeah. So we -- -Only on people who
don't wanna be jumped on.
-But then what happened? The leash got caught
in the walker?
[ Laughing ]
[ Laughter ]
-Tangled into the walker. -Tangled into the walker
and just started doing spinouts. -And my dad is yelling,
"[muttering]"
and then everyone, of course,
-Trying to hold the dad. -all the women around dad,
trying to hold him, are all -The dog is
-yelling and screaming. -squealing
and everyone's -- -Gary made sounds,
for the first time, she usually doesn't
and blah, blah, blah.
-That was a Gary memory.
-Hi! -Hello.
-Hey, guys. -How you guys doin'?
-Beautiful baby.
-Thank you! This is Jake. -Thanks so much.
-Aw. Bye, Jake.
Ooh. Nancy, this is from @GirlySunglasses.
-Ooh! Oh, I just took my sunglasses off.
-"Nancy, what did you think of Jimmy
when you first met him on the set of 'Fever Pitch'?"
Which is --
-I thought -- I first met Jimmy, actually, on "SNL."
And I'd gone in --
I'm producing partners with Drew Barrymore
and she was on the show that week.
-I remember that.
-And she and Jimmy were practicing a sketch
and I went in and I kind of crept in quietly
and, all of a sudden, [laughs] Jimmy goes,
"Hey! Nancy! You're Nancy? Hi!
It's so nice to meet you! Welcome!"
And I felt just so embraced and like cool, like,
"Thank you! Thank you for welcoming me in.
This is so nice. It's so intimidating."
So, I had that thought, from years before, going in.
And then -- -'Cause it can be
intimidating, if you go to "Saturday Night Live,"
don't know anybody. -Ugh! So intimidating.
And I had no real reason to be there.
I was sort of like meeting her to go somewhere or something.
Anyway, so, but then, on the set,
we were on location and that really creates
this like camp feel for everybody and --
-Hello. -Hi.
-Hey. -And he was just
so friendly and fun!
And welcoming and he loved music.
And then, when I really developed a crush
was when Bradley Thomas' kids came to set
and he had a little girl named Lucy
and a little boy named Charlie.
And I played with Lucy and Jimmy played with Charlie
and really played,
like really into it, as if they'd come to visit us.
And so I think that's when my heart just sort of
melted [Southern accent] even more.
-Aw. I remember those kids.
Oh, they were so cute. -Yeah.
They're like teenagers, now, or in college, probably.
-I remember when I first
experienced the magic that is [chuckle] Nancy Juvonen.
We were on the set,
but we were filming "Fever Pitch" in Boston
-Yeah. -and it was a rainy,
gray, Bostony day.
-Yep. -And you came to set.
And you -- -I walked to set.
That was the first day of shooting.
-Yeah.
And you walked to set
and I wanna say you had white pants,
-Yes. -a pink sweater...
-[Laughing]
-...and a green backpack? -Yeah, my
green Jansport backpack...
[ Laughter ]
...that I think I'd had since college.
-And blond hair and your white teeth.
And I was like you just stood out in this gray --
It was almost like a painting.
And you stood out like a neon --
And I was like, "Uh, wow.
She is," yeah. You just stuck out.
And you were just so fun. We had so much fun
on that movie, didn't we? -Yeah. We had so much fun,
And we got to just
sort of flirt and hang out and get to know each other,
without having to go on a date or anything like that.
-No. -For months! We just got to be pals.
-Yeah. -And have crushes,
which is so hard and so fun,
and it shouldn't just be limited to high school.
-Right? -It's so fun to have
to kind of wait and just like, "Oo-oo-ooh!
What should I wear [singsong] today?
Is he gonna be on set early?
What's gonna happen?
[ Laughter ]
Is he shooting today?"
-Yeah. But we got to know each other's musical taste and --
-Yeah, and then, when the show ended,
we weren't sure, like, "Maybe this is nothing.
Maybe this is just a cute little flirt."
And I'm like, "He's probably dating like 30 women.
I don't know."
I know now how funny that is,
but, at the time, I didn't know.
[ Laughter ] -Gosh! Dating 30 women?
Oh, my God. -I don't know what people do.
-I know. I'm like Pete the Pilot.
-Yeah. Totally were The Bachelor.
And then, you know, I'm sure he didn't know what I was up to.
-Yeah. -And then, when we saw
each other again... -In London.
-In London. -We were selling the movie.
-To sell the movie. -I was like, "Hey!
I miss you.
I wanna hang out with you." -Mm-hmm.
-And then, you said you missed me, too.
[ Laughter ]
Corny. This is gonna be the corniest video
that anybody's ever seen.
Alright, that's enough #AskTheFallons for now, right?
-It's a good session, I think. -It's a good session.
[ Laughter ] It's a good session.
We'll be right back, everybody. -Bye!
