NBC's coverage of the PyeongChang Games begins in primetime live across all time zones TONIGHT at 8 p.m. ET - one night before Opening Ceremony coverage tomorrow night - and continues until the Closing Ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 25 - highlighted by figure skating, qualifying in the men's and women's moguls competitions, and qualifying in men's ski jumping.
"The Tonight Show" returned to its New York origins when "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" made its broadcast debut from Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center. Emmy Award- and Grammy Award-winning comedian Jimmy Fallon brings a high-tempo energy to the storied NBC franchise with his welcoming interview style, love of audience participation, spot-on impersonations and innovative sketches.
An American television institution for almost 60 years, "The Tonight Show" continues to be a home to big-name celebrity guests and a stage for top musical and comedic talent. Taking a cue from his unforgettable predecessors, including hosts Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Fallon carrys on the tradition that audiences know and love - kicking off every show with the iconic "Tonight Show" monologue.
