Ledecky appears as part of a loaded lineup that also includes interviews with Billy Crystal and “Summer Reads” winner Jean Hanff Korelitz. Not an interview-only episode, Wednesday’s “Tonight Show” closes with a stand-up comedy performance from Jackie Fabulous.

Filmed in advance, the episode will hit the airwaves at 11:35PM ET/PT on NBC. Prior to the broadcast, the network shared a collection of photos from the taping:
