Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' Returns To L.A. For A Week
Jimmy Fallon will bring The Tonight Show back to Los Angeles next month for a week of late-night antics.
From Feb. 15 to 19, the former former SNL comedian will return to Universal Studios after a successful run last year. Guests lined up for the week include Will Ferrell, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Zach Galifianakis, with others to be announced later, according to a release. Whether you'll be tuning in the old school way on TV or (more than likely) watching the highlights online, you can also expect plenty of musical guests, games and sketches.

And the night before his West Coast appearance, Fallon will be hitting primetime with The Tonight Show Valentine’s Day Anniversary Special, on Sunday, Feb. 14 from 9 - 11 p.m.
