On last night's TONIGHT SHOW, guest Fran Lebowitz gave Jimmy a rundown of the things that bother her about humanity lately, including adults on skateboards. Later, Lebowitz talks to Jimmy about their most recent run-in and her hatred for all but one musical. "I loathe musicals but Hamilton is great," she shared. "And one of the reasons it is great is because people are not bursting into song." She went on to offer a new tagline for the show - "Go to HAMILTON, it's not annoying!"

About The Tonight Show

In 2014, "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. Known for his huge online presence, Fallon will brings along with him many of the popular segments, celebrity sketches and musical parodies that fans have grown to love on "Late Night," including #Hashtags, Thank You Notes and Slow Jam the News.
