“It’s chaos, controlled chaos. I’ve realized that I don’t have a quiet room in my house. Maybe I’ll have to do one episode from inside my bathroom and keep the door locked!” he said of the home set-up alongside wife Nancy behind the camera.

“My wife said, ‘We’re all quarantined in the house together, this is the time, you have to put something out there. Let’s do a show from here. I’ll be the camera operator. Winnie will do the graphics, and Franny will do the music. So many charitable causes need money, so it’s a good way to get the word out.’ “

Each night, The Tonight Show: At Home Edition highlights a different charity, including Feed America, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Save the Children.

“The last time I felt something like this was after 9/11, and I was on SNL and I remember looking to my late-night comedians for guidance. I remember Dave Letterman saying courage is what we need right now but sometimes pretending to be courageous is almost just as good.”

“It’s the time to put our problems aside and come together, then big things can be accomplished. Seeing what started as an email to my producers, how it grew into everyone wanting to help has been amazing. If you’re willing to do it, we are too,” he went on to say.

His daughters also crashed his opening monologue early into the series – watch!
