THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON
January 15, 2019  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 11:35 p.m. ET

 

When Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon last year about his plans to stage a limited-run version of his hit musical, and returning to the title role, to benefit the people and arts of Puerto Rico, Fallon pledged his support. Tonight, on Tonight, it arrives in a big way. To benefit the island still recovering from 2017’s Hurricane Maria, The Tonight Show televises this special episode direct from Puerto Rico. Fallon joins Miranda in a one-time only version of “The Story of Tonight” from Hamilton, which opened in San Juan last Friday as a limited-run charity fundraiser. Also on tonight’s TV bill: chef Jose Andres, whose humanitarian, post-disaster relief efforts have fed tens of thousands in Puerto Rico and elsewhere; and musical artists as diverse as Bad Bunny and Jose Feliciano.
