Jimmy & Cher: The Tonight Show
starring Jimmy Fallon and Cher

"I'm not old fashioned." - Cher

Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is a huge Cher fan, which he effusively demonstrated on his March 15, 2019 episode. Not only was Cher present, she sang and performed with the Broadway cast of The Cher Show, a so-called Jukebox musical that debuted in Chicago before landing on The Great White Way in November of 2018.

The musical's book is by Rick Elice, direction by Jason Moore, choreography by Christopher Gattelli, with orchestrations, arrangements and musical production by Daryl Waters.

Cher's longtime costumer Bob Mackie from The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour and subsequent TV and stage shows, including her Las Vegas performances, is the costume designer. Mackie was quoted as saying, "A woman who wears my clothes is not afraid to be noticed,” he’s won nine Emmy Awards and been nominated three times for an Academy Award.

Cher and the cast of The Cher Show were Fallon’s only guests on this March 15th episode.

The Broadway musical includes songs from Cher's performing life, including Sonny & Cher’s first big single I Got You Babe, Cher’s 1960s solo hit All I Really Want to Do, the song every Sonny & Cher Show closed with The Beat Goes On, as well as Cher’s #1 smash hit from 1971, Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves.

On the Tonight Show, Cher discusses her return to touring, her role in the movie Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and what she thinks of people doing impressions of her, especially Fallon’s. (She’s not impressed.) Cher in essence ‘played herself’ alongside the stage show Sonny Bono, singing I Got You Babe for the Tonight Show audience.

In addition, Cher joined a gushing Fallon for the first part of his monologue and they performed Lip Sync Karaoke to another of her hits, Believe. Cher has had a number one single in every decade for the last 60 years, now that’s unbelievable!

The timeless goddess of pop performs If I Could Turn Back Time with the Broadway cast of The Cher Show, a song used in Deadpool 2?.

"I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia." - Cher
