-Hi, everybody.
Welcome to "The Tonight Show
At Home Edition."
My name is Jimmy Fallon
and thank you so much
for tuning in.
We got good news today.
New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio
said the annual Macy's
4th of July fireworks
will go on.
Yep. People quarantined
by the river are excited,
while the rest of us
can enjoy the thrill
of watching fireworks on TV.
Well, guys, it's been
over a month of quarantine
and more and more Americans
are desperate
to reunite
with their loved ones.
In fact, yesterday,
Rob Gronkowski
couldn't wait any longer
and reunited with Tom Brady.
-[ Chuckle ]
-Hey, guys, today is Earth Day!
And I -- Oh, wow.
I almost forgot.
I'll be right back.
[ Birds chirping ]
Happy Earth Day!
[ Laughs ]
You thought I forgot.
What?
Oh, come on.
Come on. What? Like --
Like you've never forgotten
my birthday?
Come on, don't be like that.
Come on. Okay.
Come on, let's hug it out.
I love you.
Alright, next time,
I'll send you a card.
What?!
An email!
That's what I meant,
an email.
I'll send you an email.
Alright.
That's right, today is Earth Day
and, like most people,
I am recycling
the same outfit I've worn
for the past 35 days!
I love Earth Day.
My favorite part is
seeing the kids wake up
and run down the stairs
and open their buckets
of compost left under the tree.
Oh.
Today is the 50th Earth Day.
You can tell Earth Day turned 50
'cause, earlier today,
Earth changed its hairstyle
and bought a Corvette.
This is crazy.
I read about a cow in Wisconsin
that wandered
into someone's property
and took a dip
in their swimming pool.
And, as she walked
out of the pool,
every bull slowly pulled down
their sunglasses.
"Yello."
-[ Electronic ] ♪ Oh, yeah ♪
♪♪
-Finally, I saw that tomorrow is
Take Our Daughters and Sons
to Work Day.
Or, as that's now called,
every single day.
-[ Laughing ]
-Ha ha. That is
our monologue, everybody!
[ Funk sting plays ]
We have a great show tonight.
He is the hip hop legend.
He is the star
of movies, TV shows.
He has an Instagram Live
thing called "The Cool Down."
Of course, you might know him
from "NCIS: LA,"
which is celebrating
its 11th season.
LL Cool J is here!
Thank you, LL.
There is his charity
he's working with,
COVID-19 Solidarity
Response Fund for the WHO.
He was actually part
of the event
the other night
for Global Citizen,
so, I'm happy he's
on the show tonight.
Also, today is Earth Day,
everybody.
It's the 50th anniversary
of Earth Day.
Shoutout to my friend
Pete Shapiro,
who is setting up so many
giant things for Earth Day,
really works really well
with those events
and had to cancel this year's
and I know he's really
bumped out about it
'cause he had
a giant thing planned.
Earth Day should be every day,
as I do say tonight,
when I talk to our guest
Jane Goodall,
who is on the show.
Jane and I were talking
and I know it's an odd time
and it's a scary time right now,
but I do feel like also,
there is a weird thing
kind of happening.
If you're looking at the silver
lining of not going out
and not driving in cars
and not damaging the Earth.
And you see these examples,
when you see, you know,
the canals in Venice, in Italy,
have sea life swimming
in Venice.
I mean, you get to see
there's bears and animals
walking around
in national parks,
just coming out
'cause there's no humans
and they're like,
"Wait, we can do this?"
Like, "Yeah, you can always --
This is your land.
You can do this," so I mean,
there is something to --
I think we're all kind of
getting that.
But I've seen these reports
everywhere that,
yeah, we should take care
of the Earth more than we do
and sometimes we take
a little bit of advantage.
And it's the little things.
It's the turning off the tap
of water or, you know,
not driving to the store,
walking to the store,
you know, wearing your
face mask, of course.
And who better to have
as a guest,
a second guest,
on our show tonight,
but Dr. Jane Goodall,
who has a new documentary
on National Geographic
right now.
It premiered today, actually.
And she's just working so hard
with "Roots & Shoots"
and everything.
You couldn't even imagine.
And if you feel like
being inspired,
stay tuned for Jane Goodall.
She's fantastic.
We also have,
for our third guest tonight,
spoken word artist
Kate Tempest,
who is always fantastic
on our show
and really puts on
a special performance
that I think you'll love.
Well, it's Wednesday, guys,
and that's usually when we play
a thing called
What Are You Doin' Wednesday?
♪♪
Hey, you guys, we do this thing
every Wednesday where I show you
my favorite videos
that you guys are making
during your quarantine,
staying at home,
which I appreciate
you guys doing,
and things that just
made me laugh.
So here's a couple.
This first one's
from @djgianniblu.
He wanted to practice
his postquarantine travels,
so he wanted to pretend
that he was in an airport.
So this is him at an airport,
but in his house,
using his treadmill. Watch.
[ Whimsical tune plays ]
♪♪
♪♪
My only wish was that
the person filming that
would've come over and said,
[ Whispering ]
"No, that's my luggage."
Right? All the luggage
looked the same,
then they pull the luggage,
and they go, "Oh, no.
That there is yours."
This next one is two friends.
One is from @MaeveMcDonough.
Her friend -- She was trying
to tell her friend
that she forgot to put --
her soda's left --
"Your soda's
on top of your car!
Your soda's on top
of your car!"
As she was pulling away.
Watch this.
-Dude, your soda's on your car.
[ Laughs ]
Your soda's on your car!
♪♪
-[ Laughing ]
I mean, I don't know
what else could happen --
for it to just short out
the wires of the car?
I don't know.
That was a perfect video.
This next one is --
This Instagram user set up
a course for their hedgehog.
Well, you have to keep the
physical fitness happening
during this quarantine.
-We are back,
ladies and gentlemen,
with another thrilling episode
of "American Hedgehog Warrior."
And there she goes,
deep into the trees
of Pool Noodle Forest.
As you can see
from the overhead,
there's really only
one viable path
out of the woods,
through the center.
But it looks like Pepper's
found herself in a pickle, Bob.
She'll have to make her way
up the noodle stairs, first,
and then use some of that
upper body strength
to get her
to the top of the slide.
And, boom!
Smooth as silk.
Take a look at how she uses
the back legs
to hit the brakes at the bottom.
And then she doesn't
miss a beat.
-On a scale of one to Pepper,
how much have you worked out
[ Laughing ]
during this quarantine?
Good job, Pepper.
This last one's
from @carlosmelian.
He had some fun watching
Trump give a press conference.
Watch this.
-They completed it
in three days.
You might say three
and a half days.
The Javits Center
will be completed today.
-Hey, it's hard to get
a good haircut these days.
Thank you for all these videos
and keep filming 'em.
I'll keep watching them.
Guys, the Beastie Boys are one
of my favorite bands.
They have a documentary
out on Apple TV+ right now
and I wanted to see
if we could play
maybe a One-Second
Song Challenge
with me versus another giant
Beastie Boys fan,
Questlove.
Here's the One-Second Beastie
Song Challenge with Questlove.
Questlove, I figured,
since the Beasties' story's
coming on on Apple TV,
I wanted to test your knowledge.
I know you're
a big Beastie fan.
So am I.
-Yeah.
-To challenge you to a game
of One-Second songs.
Now, the way it's gonna work is
I'm gonna go first.
We're gonna have nine songs
and if I can't guess it,
you guess
and you can steal
the point from me.
Whoever has the most points
by the end wins.
Is that cool?
-Okay, that's cool.
-Let's start the game.
Here we go! Oh, my God.
