On the second episode of the first season of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, which originally aired on March 3, 2009, the show featured a star-studded lineup that included comedy writer and actress Tina Fey, rock icon Jon Bon Jovi, and breakout musician Santigold.

Jimmy Fallon welcomed Tina Fey to the show and began the conversation by asking about her experience returning to Saturday Night Live, which she had recently done for the first time since leaving the show in 2006. Fey discussed the pressure she felt to live up to the expectations that were set when she starred in the iconic sketch comedy series and shared her reaction to seeing herself portrayed by Amy Poehler in a sketch about Hillary Clinton.

After their conversation, Fey joined Fallon for the recurring segment "Fake News Generator," where they took turns reading headlines created by a random word generator and improvising news stories based on them. Highlights included a story about a man who was using a potato to find gold and a report on a town that was overrun by giant tomatoes.

Later in the show, Fallon sat down with Jon Bon Jovi to talk about his involvement in the Soul Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works to combat poverty and homelessness. Bon Jovi also discussed his performance at Barack Obama's inauguration, his upcoming tour, and his new album, The Circle.

Toward the end of the episode, Santigold took to the stage to perform her hit single "L.E.S. Artistes." The artist, who had recently released her debut album, showcased her unique sound and style as she danced and sang with a group of backup dancers.

Throughout the episode, Fallon also incorporated his signature comedy bits, including "Thank You Notes," during which he wrote humorous thank you notes to various people and objects, and a segment called "The Whisper Game," where he and Tina Fey took turns whispering phrases to each other and trying to guess what the other person was saying.

Overall, episode two of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon offered a diverse and entertaining lineup of guests and segments, showcasing the host's ability to connect with a wide range of artists and personalities.
