Jay Leno ended his 22-year stint as The Tonight Show host last week with an emotional farewell speech, and his successor Jimmy Fallon is already prepared to put all the tearful memories behind us.
Fallon revealed an impressive lineup on Monday for his first week of guests when he takes over The Tonight Show on Jan. 17. The list includes first lady Michelle Obama, comedian Jerry Seinfeld and performers Lady Gaga, U2 and Justin Timberlake, among others.
Here's the full lineup:
Monday, Feb. 17: Will Smith and U2
Tuesday, Feb. 18: Jerry Seinfeld, Kristen Wiig and Lady Gaga
Wednesday, Feb. 19: Bradley Cooper and Tim McGraw
Thursday, Feb. 20: First lady Michelle Obama, Will Ferrell and Arcade Fire
Friday, Feb. 21: Justin Timberlake
The first lady's appearance comes two years after she and Fallon participated in a tug-of-war in a Late Night With Jimmy Fallon clip taped in the White House (pictured, above). Barack Obama appeared as a guest on Leno in 2009, which became the only time a sitting president appeared on late-night TV.
Fallon said goodbye to Late Night over the weekend with a musical assist from the Muppets. Together, they sang The Band’s 1968 hit “The Weight."
