In what will apparently be the first of two visits this month, Ariana Grande has an extensive role on Thursday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Grande, who is far from a stranger to NBC’s flagship late night show, appears for an interview, a “Best Friend Challenge” game, and a performance.
Taped in advance, Thursday’s “Tonight Show” also features an appearance by Russell Westbrook. The NBA all-star joins Jimmy Fallon for an interview and a game of “Random Object Football Toss.”
The episode will air following NBC’s Thursday Night Football and late local news broadcasts (the subject-to-change start time is currently listed as 12:05AM ET).
