In each episode, two teams of two celebrities compete for charity in a series of music and dance-based games, performative segments, and play-along trivia, with Fallon hosting all the action. The format was brought to Universal Television Alternative Studio by Fallon, longtime "The Tonight Show" producer Jim Juvonen and writer Josh Knapp. Adam Blackstone is Musical Director and will lead the house band throughout each episode.

Shooting in Studio 6A at 30 Rock, across the hallway from Jimmy's own Studio 6B, "The Kids Tonight Show" is a sophisticated, elegantly produced late night show in the vein of "The Tonight Show" - but it's hosted by kids, and kids are in charge of everything. Viewers will get next-generation interpretations of all the beloved Fallon bits, celebrity interviews, musical performances, and a brand-new late-night show kids and families will love - only on Peacock.

We are privileged to call him a longtime member of our broadcast family."
