Jimmy Fallon bringing The Tonight Show to Detroit for a special episode
Jimmy Fallon is hitting the road for a special episode of The Tonight Show! This time, the show is headed to Detroit, Michigan for a one-night-only event celebrating Motor City in partnership with the Ford Motor Company. The episode will be filmed at the historic Detroit Opera House on Sunday, September 14 and will air on Monday, September 15. If you can’t catch it on TV, don’t worry—you can stream it on Peacock the next day.
The Detroit episode promises to be a star-studded affair, with guests who have deep roots in the city. The Opera House, originally built in 1922, is a stunning venue that hosts a variety of events year-round, from opera and dance performances to the occasional late-night talk show.
While The Tonight Show typically tapes in New York City, Jimmy Fallon has taken the show on the road before. Past destinations have included Orlando, Minneapolis, Phoenix, and more. Whether he’s riding roller coasters with Kevin Hart or delivering spot-on impressions in Minneapolis, Fallon always brings his signature blend of comedy and music to his live shows.
If you’re looking to snag a last-minute seat to the Detroit taping, you can sign up for the waitlist for a chance to attend. While the guest lineup for the Detroit show hasn’t been announced yet, the city has produced numerous beloved stars, from musicians like Jack White to actors like Kristen Bell and Keegan-Michael Key.
After the Detroit episode, Fallon will kick off a new season of The Tonight Show with episodes airing after Sunday Night Football starting on September 21. It’s shaping up to be a busy fall season for this comedian. Tune in to catch all the fun and excitement!
