The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon season 3 episode 68 aired on Wednesday, December 23, 2015, and was full of holiday cheer and surprises.
The episode kicked off with a festive opening monologue from Jimmy Fallon, complete with a giant Christmas tree, fake snow, and a holiday-themed version of the show's signature "Thank You Notes" segment.
Fallon then welcomed his first guest, comedian and actor Kevin Hart. The two chatted about Hart's recent movie roles, his stand-up tour, and his plans for the holidays. They also played a hilarious game of "Drinko" in which they dropped different ingredients (such as eggnog, Sriracha, and pickle juice) into a glass of champagne and had to drink the resulting concoction.
Up next was actress Saoirse Ronan, who was promoting her critically-acclaimed movie "Brooklyn." Fallon and Ronan discussed her Irish heritage, her love of karaoke, and her plans to spend Christmas in New York City.
Following Ronan's interview, Fallon surprised a lucky audience member with a special holiday gift: a trip to Italy. The woman was brought onstage and presented with a giant check and plane tickets, leading to cheers and tears from both her and the audience.
The show continued with musical guest Jack White, who performed a rockin' rendition of "The Rose with the Broken Neck" with his band. Fallon also joined White for a holiday tune, "Two-Step Christmas Blues," complete with white Santa hats and a giant snow globe.
For the final segment of the night, Fallon welcomed author and comedian Steve Harvey to the stage. Harvey shared stories about his own holiday traditions and his experience hosting the Miss Universe pageant (which famously had a major snafu just a few days earlier). Fallon and Harvey then played a game called "Fast Family Feud," in which they had to guess how people responded to holiday-themed survey questions.
Overall, the episode was a fun-filled holiday extravaganza with a great lineup of guests and some unexpected surprises. Fallon's energy and enthusiasm kept things moving along, and the festive set design and live music added to the holiday spirit.
