Blake: Announcement of Jimmy Fallon
Blake Shelton to join Jimmy Fallon for “The Tonight Show: At Home Edition” on Monday, April 13
They might not be able to taste-test sushi together this time around, but country superstar Blake Shelton and Jimmy Fallon will team up virtually on Monday, April 13 for The Tonight Show: At Home Edition. Viewers can expect a banter-filled catch-up and game, as well as a special performance from Shelton and Gwen Stefani of their Top 5 and climbing duet “Nobody But You.” The Tonight Show continues to air episodes weeknights at 11:35pm/10:35c on NBC, and At Home clips can be found on-demand at NBC.com (HERE) or The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon YouTube page (HERE).
“I’m damn sure that this ‘at-home’ version of The Tonight Show will just be another disaster,” laughed Shelton. “But it’s always fun to be with Jimmy, and I’m glad Gwen and I get the chance to sing our song!”
Shelton and Stefani performed “Nobody But You” last weekend on CBS’ ACM Presents: Our Country special, which will re-air this Saturday night at 8:00pm/7:00c. In the spirit of celebrating home and loved ones while practice social distancing, the couple recently released an acoustic version of the hit (listen HERE) and an accompanying video that features them enjoying the Oklahoma outdoors together (watch HERE).
The ultra-romantic song has topped 70 million streams, with that total now growing by more than five million each week. “Nobody But You” is the second single from Shelton’s recently released chart-topping collection Fully Loaded: God’s Country, which spent 16 consecutive weeks within the Top 5 on the Country Album Sales chart and earned the third biggest debut-week sales total for a country album in 2019.
These days, Shelton’s past hits are getting almost as much love as the likes of “Nobody But You” and CMA Single of the Year “God’s Country.” Chart-toppers “A Guy With a Girl” and “Came Here to Forget” have both been certified RIAA Platinum along with “She’s Got A Way With Words.” The third No. 1 from 2016’s If I’m Honest, “Every Time I Hear That Song,” has officially earned its Gold certification.
Added Shelton, “I still get as excited as ever when I hear that one of my songs has gone Gold or Platinum. This time around there are four – that’s just crazy! I moved to Nashville after I graduated high school because all I wanted to do was sing country songs and hear them played on the radio. I could not be more thankful that people are listening, buying and streaming my music.”
