With all late-night reveals (and seemingly the whole lot else) cancelled, postponed, or rendered totally irrelevant by the coronavirus, late-night hosts are doing their half to make sure viewers’ starvation for eerily silent monologue jokes is sated throughout this time of social distancing. Why, one may ask, did Stephen Colbert do Monday night time’s show-opening filmed intro from his suds-brimming bathtub? Effectively, as we’re all discovering out, there’s solely so a lot Scrabble and long-procrastinated dwelling enhancements you are able to do with out dropping your marbles, just a bit bit. And, as Jimmy Fallon picked up the work-from-home torch on Tuesday’s Tonight Present, these individuals are entertainers, dammit—even when the one folks they’re instantly entertaining with their home-taped bits are their quick households. And pets.

Holding up a home made signal from his new graphics division (younger and gigglingly tired of daddy’s shenanigans daughter Frannie) studying The Tonight Present Staring Jimmy Fallon, the host certainly hosted a brand new opening for Tuesday’s pandemic-mandated rerun. Coming to us dwell from his objectively superior basement rec room (full with vintage popcorn machine, copyright-dodging, half-seen seven dwarves cutouts, and is {that a} freaking escape slide?), Fallon spoke on to the digital camera (labored by unseen spouse Nancy), telling his presumably safe-at-home viewers that his mission is to deliver “some levity in these weird instances.”

With canine Gary for a sounding board, Fallon’s checklist of monologue jokes (despatched in by his equally sequestered writers) had been the standard Fallon stew of “eh,” and “form of okay,” though, with out an appreciative viewers to cackle at his humorous faces, Fallon regarded endearingly uncomfortable. (Frannie was completely not into it, escaping instantly through that in-house playground tube slide, which, once more—superior.) As was his receivedt, Fallon didn’t ruffle Trump’s hair over the continuing administration duplicitous drain-clog of a coronavirus response, as an alternative lobbing a joke about Boston icon Tom Brady’s choice to bail on the New England Patriots on St. Patricks’ Day, no much less, an act Fallon in comparison with “getting dumped in your birthday” for the Pats devoted. Capping issues off with some Guinness, soda bread, good Irish butter, and his new topical anthem “St. Patrick’s Day Quarantine,” Fallon strummed alongside to a mix of Irish stereotypes and genuinely helpful COVID-19 recommendation. Critically, six ft of distance, wash your fingers, and keep the hell dwelling, even for those who don’t have an expensively rustic basement playroom to screw round in.
