NBC Confirms Madonna’s “Tonight Show” Performance, Interview

When your career has been as iconic as that of Madonna, you cultivate a passionate fanbase. When you cultivate a passionate fanbase, you can bank on them working vigorously to stay apprised of your endeavors.

Neither Madonna nor NBC, therefore, had a prayer of keeping her planned “The Tonight Show” visit under wraps.

Earlier this week, Madonna fans located her name on a tentative NBC episode guide. That guide, which identified a handful of visitors for upcoming “Tonight Show” episodes, revealed that Madonna would appear as an interview and musical guest on the April 9 edition of its Jimmy Fallon-hosted talk show.
