Claim: Although the Roots with Questlove are the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon's house band, each episode usually include musical entertainment, such as the Smashing Pumpkins who played on the December 1, 2020 episode.
Evidence: The show also stars sidekick and announcer Steve Higgins and house band The Roots. The show opens with Fallon's topical monologue, then transitions into comedic sketches/games, concluding with guest interviews and musical performance. Hip hop/neo soul band The Roots serve as the show's house band, and Steve Higgins as the show's announcer. Roots drummer Questlove often announces the episode number just before Higgins introduces Fallon. December 1, 2020 (2020-12-01) The Smashing Pumpkins
