Update: By announcing her as the co-host, NBC gave fans reason to expect plenty of Cardi B on Monday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
It did not mislead.
Cardi B appeared extensively on Monday’s broadcast. She participated in the monologue, joined Jimmy Fallon for an interview, helped Fallon interview John Mulaney, recorded a fan’s voicemail, played a game of Box of Lies, and performed.
Video highlights are being posted upon availability. Photos from the taping are also embedded.
