[ cheers and applause ] ♪

♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. please, have a seat. welcome, everybody. thank you so much. thank you so much, everyone. [ cheers and applause ] welcome to "the tonight show." this is the first "tonight show" broadcast from new york in over 40 years. [ cheers and applause ] welcome. i'm jimmy fallon, and i'll be your host -- for now. [ laughter ] of course, i wouldn't be here tonight if it weren't for the previous "tonight show" hosts. so i want to say thank you to steve allen, jack parr, johnny carson, jay leno,

conan o'brien and jay leno. [ laughter and applause ] very, very nice. amazing. honestly, i really don't know how i got here. i grew up in upstate new york. in a town called saugerties, new york. it's a beautiful town. i had a great childhood. [ applause ] there's not even that many people from saugerties. so, that's impossible. i had a great childhood. and if you would have told me as a kid that i was going to graduate high school and go on to be on "saturday night live." and then eventually be the host of "the tonight show" -- i would've said, "i graduated high school?" that's so not me. that is so not like me. but for those of you who are watching me for the first time, which is very possible. i'm 39 years old. i live in new york city with my beautiful wife, nancy. and my daughter, winnie, who's 6 months old. and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. [ cheers and applause ] i love her so much.

i'm a proud, proud dad. and speaking of proud dads -- i'm lucky to say my parents are here with us. they're here tonight. they're here to see me. mom and dad. hey, i love you guys. [ applause ] jim and gloria fallon. thank you for being here. i wish i could've gotten you better seats. but you know, it's -- [ laughter ] very hot show, dad. very hot show. trying to do bits up there. but i hope you're proud of me. i know you're proud of me. i know -- i mean, you are. [ applause ] remember how proud you were when i graduated high school? that was a big deal. yeah, that was giant. anyway, i'm happy just to have you here. thanks for being here, guys. i love you. i know, dad. [ laughter ] he did not pay a lot -- it was a public high school.

he didn't pay a lot of money. [ laughter ] paid a lot of money, yearh. but again, if you're watching, to the left, is the most talented band in all the land. trying to lend a hand -- the roots from philadelphia, ladies and gentlemen. i love you guys. [ cheers and applause ] they are the most talented band. and you're going to fall in love with them if you don't know them already. they're from philadelphia. a lot of the guys still commute and go back and forth from philly. and i couldn't do the show without you guys. they can play with tony bennet. they can play with jay z without blinking an eye. they're the most talented band ever. i love you guys and thank you so much. it's going to be fun. [ cheers and applause ] to my right is our announcer and sidekick, steve higgins, everybody. right there. [ cheers and applause ] steve higgins is from iowa. now he lives in new jersey with his beautiful family and cool kids. i love you guys. and i want to say, steve, i've known you for awhile. you were a producer on

"saturday night live." that's where i met you the first time. and i couldn't think of anyone else to do this thing with. you are my best friend and i love you and it's going to be fun, buddy. thank you. >> steve: aw. [ applause ] i just want to say to you that i couldn't be prouder -- >> jimmy: this is a moment in tv history. [ laughter ] a moment in tv history right here. and even if i weren't involved, i would be so psyched to watch it. so i'm glad that you're watching at home. i'm glad that you're here. because this is important. this is fun. this is what we're all about. i remember being the kid in saugerties and asking my parents, "can i stay up to watch johnny carson?" and it was a big deal, like, you know, to stay up late, you know? they would let me watch the monologue and then i'd just try to pretend i wasn't there. so they could let me go to the first guest or whatever bit they were going to do before they told me to go to bed. and just to think there's going to be a kid out there asking

their parents to stay up to watch me -- it just means a a lot. so i hope -- i hope i do well. [ applause ] supposed to enjoy this. i just want to do the best that i can. and take care of this show for awhile. if you guys let me stick around long enough, maybe i'll get the hang of it. [ light laughter ] usually, our show starts with the monologue, the first ten minutes of our show. so after your local news, i'll come out from that beautiful curtain. i'll hit this monologue mark here, which is a four-leaf clover. that's where i stand over that. there it is right there. so i'll stand over that and read jokes off the cue cards. and these are jokes based on what's going on in the news. stuff like that. i'll make fun of everybody. anyone i can make fun of, i will. my goal is just to make you laugh and put a smile on your face. so you go to sleep with a smile on your face and live a longer life. isn't that the whole goal of what we're doing? have fun? [ applause ] let's do it right now. higgins, give me another intro. let's do it again. ♪ >> steve: and now, here's your host, jimmy fallon! ♪ [ cheers and applause ]

>> jimmy: welcome to "the tonight show!" please, welcome, thank you, everybody. you guys, we all have olympic fever, do we not? [ cheers and applause ] usa! usa! that's right, the u.s. men's hockey team beat russia on saturday in a very dramatic shootout. [ cheers and applause ] that was exciting. that was great. the american team said that they were thrilled with the win while the russian team is missing. [ laughter ] [ russian accent ] "we take them to different type of shootout." [ laughter ] well, even though the americans are doing well, vladimir putin made a surprise visit to the u.s. olympic headquarters and even asked to have a drink with some of the american athletes. of course, the athletes were like, "you first."

[ laughter ] "what did you do with the hockey team?" you know, i've been loving watching the guys from "the today show" over in sochi. doing a great job over there. just the other day, matt lauer and al roker tried doubles luging together. [ light laughter ] it's kind of hard to watch, but take a look. >> here we go! here we go! >> oh! ah! >> i think that went well. >> jimmy: yeah -- [ laughter and applause ] you can't unsee that. actually, that screaming actually came from their sled. it was like, "oh!" and my man, bob costas. oh, boy. i love that guy. finally, he's returned to

covering the olympics tonight after he was sidelined for a a week with pink eye in both eyes. you can tell he was having trouble when he spent half an hour interviewing a mop he thought was shaun white. he was like, "now, i've seen you've grown your hair back. you're very skinny. you've lost a lot of weight." [ light laughter ] you know, there's so many amazing athletes from all over the world competing in sochi. and of course, they give out gold, silver and bronze medals at the games. but what a lot of people don't know is that the olympic committee also gives out other awards. sort of like the ones in high school yearbooks. like, most likely to succeed. class clown. stuff like that. so with that in mind, it's time for "the tonight show" superlatives. here we go. ♪ [ applause ] >> jimmy: our first athlete is chas guldemond. he's a snowboarder from team usa. he was voted "most likely to host an interior design show on hgtv."

up. you knock the wall down and just open the whole thing right up. [ laughter ] you got a skylight in the living room." next up is danny davis. he's also a snowboarder for the u.s. team. he was voted "most likely to be able to turn water into weed." [ laughter and applause ] that'll earn you a medal. next up is australian speed skater pierre boda. he was voted "world's tallest jonas brother." that is very -- [ laughter ] i don't remember pierre jonas. next we have american ice dancer charlie white. he was voted most likely to say, "fear not. for i bring tidings of great joy! [ laughter ] ah!" next up is american bobsledder steven holcomb. he was voted "most likely to find an old hot wing in his pocket."

[ laughter ] "what the heck is this? what? teryaki, yeah!" next we have norwegian cross country skier tord yar-daln. he was voted "most likely to say, 'red bull!' when you ask him what he had for breakfast." "gotta get amped, man! so psyched! let's get out there" it's tomorrow, tord. calm down. next from new zealand is skeleton racer ben sandford. he was voted "most likely to play jazz flute." [ laughter ] next we have australian freestyle skier antin grimmis. he was voted "most likely to be justin bieber in disguise." [ laughter ] wondering where he's been. i haven't heard from him. and finally, from great britain, we have figure skater david king. he was voted "lesbian screech." there you guys go. those are your olympic superlatives. we have a great show tonight. give it up for the roots, everybody.
