James Franco and Niall Horan are the featured guests on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon season 5 episode 42. The show begins with a monologue from Fallon, where he jokes about current events and shares funny anecdotes from his personal life. Fallon then introduces the first guest, James Franco, who is an actor, director, writer, and artist.

Franco talks about his latest projects, including his role in the HBO series The Deuce and his film The Disaster Artist, which he directed and stars in. The Disaster Artist is a comedy-drama about the making of the cult classic film The Room. Franco shares behind-the-scenes stories about working on the movie and how he got into character as Tommy Wiseau, the eccentric filmmaker who wrote, directed, produced, and starred in The Room.

Fallon then challenges Franco and Horan to a game of "5-Second Summaries," where they have to describe movies in under five seconds. The game is fast-paced, hilarious, and shows off their quick wit and knowledge of film.

Later in the show, Fallon welcomes comedian and actor Kevin James to promote his new Netflix series Kevin Can Wait. James and Fallon play a game of "Slapjack," where they take turns slapping each other with giant playing cards.

The musical guest for the night is Miley Cyrus, who performs her song "Week Without You" from her latest album Younger Now. Cyrus is known for her electrifying performances, and this one is no exception.

In between segments, Fallon interacts with his house band, The Roots, and plays funny skits and games, such as "Thank You Notes" and "Lip Sync Battle."
