-Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show."
You're here. You made it.
Thank you for watching.
You guys, this is very exciting.
Tomorrow is the annual lighting
of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes.
The Christmas tree lighting is kind of like prom night.
There's tons of buildup and then it's over in one second.
[ Laughter ]
I heard that the tree will be topped by a giant star
that has 3 million crystals.
[ Audience oohs ]
I love that New York locks up the deodorant at CVS and then
leaves 3 million crystals in the middle of the street.
[ Laughter ]
[ Applause ]
Meanwhile, I saw that the tree lighting ceremony could actually
be affected by heavy rain
and wind gusts up to 50 miles an hour.
[ Audience ohs ]
You know earlier when I said I was excited for
the tree lighting, I didn't mean it, but now I am.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, that's where you want to be during a massive storm.
Under an 80-foot tree with a 9-foot star and no root system.
Yeah. [ Laughter ]
Suddenly Mario Lopez is yelling, "Timber!"
[ Laughter ]
Don't worry, if the weather gets really bad, NBC has a plan.
They're just going to air last year's tree lighting
because it looks the same.
[ Laughter and applause ]
The exact same.
That's right, tomorrow is the Christmas tree lighting
in Rockefeller Center, but tonight we thought
we'd also do something special.
We've never done this before.
Tonight we present to you,
the first annual lighting of the beard!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Roots, can I get some holiday music?
And let's bring down the lights for a second here.
♪♪
Alright, let's count it down.
3, 2, 1.
Happy holidays.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you very much.
-The lighting of the beard is brought to you
by Terry's Steaks. Terry's Steaks -- makes you say,
"Mmm, that kinda tastes like beef!"
-There you go.
[ Laughter ]
Here's some good news.
Today is Giving Tuesday.
[ Audience ohs ] Yeah.
That's right. [ Applause ]
It's a day of generosity when millions of people give
to their favorite charities or struggling organizations.
Which explains why Twitter was trending all day.
[ Laughter ]
That's right, today is Giving Tuesday.
I love giving, especially on Giving Tuesday,
but of course there's one thing I'm not going to give.
-Really? What's that?
-It's just something I'm never going to give.
-Well, what is it?
-I, Jimmy Fallon, am never...
[ Note plays ]
♪ Gonna give you up, never gonna let you down ♪

You got Rick Roll'd. [ Cheers and applause ]
-That Rick Roll was brought to you by Terry's Steaks.
Terry's Steaks -- makes you say,
"Mmm, that kinda tastes like beef!"
[ Cheers and applause ]
-People were talking about this.
Last year, several Oscar categories were cut
from the live telecast, and everyone was outraged.
So the Academy just announced that this year,
all 23 Oscar categories will be presented live.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's right.
That should be fun.
All the length of a Marvel movie with none of the excitement.
[ Laughter ]
Hey, some big sports news. Today the U.S. beat Iran 1-0
to advance to the next round of the World Cup.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yes!
U.S.A.!
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
I just hope this doesn't ruin
our incredible friendship with Iran.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, we're on to the next round.
Americans haven't been this fired up about soccer
since we remembered it existed last week.
[ Laughter ]
When asked how they beat Iran, the U.S. coach said,
"We found their secret game plan in a box at Mar-a-Lago."
[ Laughter ]
That's right, the second week of the World Cup started today.
The games have been so fun to watch that we've actually
started playing a little soccer around the office.
Tariq, you ready for this?
-Yeah, man, pass it to me.
-Alright. Here we go, bud.
[ Audience oohs ]
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ -Ooh!
[ Alarm blares ] -Murder robot activated.
-Does anyone know the Heimlich maneuver?
[ Audience ohs ]
He's still choking!
Oh, nice.
[ Alarm blares ] -Dance robot activated.
-2, 1.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Wow! It's fun.
Well, get this, a temple in Thailand dismissed
all their monks because they just tested positive for meth.
[ Laughter ]
Which explains the new hit show in Thailand,
"Breaking Buddhist."
[ Laughter ]
