Jimmy Fallon's Thank You Notes Tackle Summer in NYC and Noah Kahan
The recurring segment pairs handwritten cards with Fallon's deadpan punchlines on everyday topics.
Jimmy Fallon returned to one of his longest-running bits on THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING Jimmy Fallon, penning a fresh batch of Thank You Notes aimed at the quirks of summer in New York City. The segment also found Fallon addressing notes to Spotify, hiking and musician Noah Kahan, folding the singer into the night's mix of comedic targets.
The Thank You Notes format has long served as a staple of Fallon's opening segments, with the host reading handwritten cards addressed to seemingly mundane or timely subjects before delivering a punchline twist. This installment leaned into seasonal material, using the heat and chaos of a New York summer as a backdrop for the jokes, while also name-checking Kahan alongside more everyday targets like hiking and the streaming service Spotify.
The segment fits within Fallon's regular rotation of recurring bits on the show, which also includes games, sketches and hashtag segments built around audience participation and topical humor. Pairing a musician's name with more ordinary complaints about summer routines and outdoor activities is a familiar structure for the bit, allowing Fallon to move quickly between pop culture references and relatable gripes.
The Thank You Notes segment aired as part of the nightly lineup on THE TONIGHT SHOW, which streams new episodes on Peacock and airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET.
