==========
Friday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” concludes with a performance by country star Chris Young.
Young performs “Sober Saturday Night,” the song he hopes will be his third straight country radio #1. And he does not take the the stage alone.
Vince Gill, who is featured on the recording, joins Young for Friday’s “Tonight Show” performance. In-house band The Roots provides accompaniment for the two country stars.
Taped Friday evening, the episode also features interviews (and a game of Pictionary) with Ryan Seacrest and Cedric The Entertainer. It airs at 11:35PM ET.
