"Every time we get the opportunity to work with our friends at NBC Sports, it’s something we look forward to," Tonight Show showrunner Chris Miller said in a statement announcing the episode. "We can’t wait to bring our show to fans of Sunday Night Football. It’s going to be a must-watch night of TV."

This isn't the first time Fallon has followed football. The Tonight Show previously aired episodes after Sunday Night Football in 2019. 

“What a great night of entertainment with a special episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, following Sunday Night Football. Jimmy and the show have been great collaborators with NBC Sports over the years,” said Rick Cordella, president of NBC Sports.

Sunday Night Football was the top-rated primetime show for the 2023-2024 season. The current NFL season kicked off on Sunday, September 8, with Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth returning to the broadcasting booth. The November 17 match-up is currently scheduled to be between the Colts and Jets.
