AUSTIN, TX — The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is coming to town with a planned taping at the University of Texas at Austin next month, the late night show host announced on Twitter.
The show is scheduled to air on Thursday, Nov. 7. "We have some amazing guests lined up, lots of surprises," Fallon said in his social media announcement. "And I need a place to stay, so if there are any empty dorms on campus, let me know," he added jokingly.
The host noted the local visit will mark the first time the broadcast has taken its show to an U.S. campus.
