THE TONIGHT SHOW Announces New Fall Season with Sunday Post-Football Telecasts And A Week Of Live Shows 

In a late-night first, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is getting into the gridiron groove with five telecasts that will follow the fall's most exciting sports event, NBC's "Sunday Night Football."

The first post-"Sunday Night Football" show will air Sept. 8 following a prime AFC match-up when the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Foxborough, Mass., to take on the World Champion New England Patriots.

Guests for the telecast will include Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan, who will share a clip of their new film, "Just Mercy." In addition, Kelly Clarkson will appear to discuss her latest project, the daytime series "The Kelly Clarkson Show," and singer Kane Brown will perform.

The other four "Tonight Show" Sunday telecasts are Oct. 6, 20, 27 and Dec. 1. "The Tonight Show" will air all five nights following late local news. Check local listings for specific times/markets.

Prior to that, live telecasts aired following SUPER BOWL LII and SUPER BOWL XLIX.

From Universal Television and Broadway Video, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is executive produced by Lorne Michaels and Jim Bell serves as Executive in Charge. The show is produced by Gerard Bradford and Jamie Granet-Bederman.
