The coronavirus has shut down production on U.S. late night shows indefinitely as numerous workplaces implement social distancing policies. Even so the Tonight Show lurches on, with host Jimmy Fallon delivering jokes emailed in by his writers from his own home.
The first Home Edition of the Tonight Show was a family affair, with Fallon's wife (film producer Nancy Juvonen) behind the camera, his six-year-old Winnie providing graphics, and special guests Franny Fallon and Gary the Golden Retriever making special appearances.
The guests didn't stick around for long though, having more important matters to attend to than watching Fallon celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a Guinness, some soda bread, and a COVID-19-themed drinking song.
"So kiss me I'm Irish, but stay six feet away / 'Cause no-one wants to get a virus on St. Paddy's Day," sang Fallon.
Fallon also gave a shout out to Feeding America, saying the show would be highlighting a different charity every night "for as long as we're gonna do this."
