Jimmy Fallon Celebrates One-Year Anniversary on “The Tonight Show”

Jimmy Fallon marked his one-year anniversary as Jay Leno’s successor on “The Tonight Show” with one very special treat.

The former “SNL” alum Tuesday unveiled a new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor inspired by the late-night show: “Tonight Show Dough.”

The special pint will feature caramel and chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookie swirls, globs of chocolate-chip cookie dough and peanut butter cookie dough. All proceeds from sales of "Tonight Show Dough" will go to the non-profit organization SeriousFunChildren's Network.

This is the second collaboration between the Vermont-based dairy company and Fallon. In 2011 Ben & Jerry’s created “Late Night Snack” to commemorate Fallon’s former gig as the host of “Late Night.”

Taylor Swift also stopped by to congratulate Fallon on his one-year tenure and chatted with the host about their experience jamming out with Paul McCartney at the "SNL" 40th anniversary after-party.

“Where you freaking out as much as I did?” Fallon asked.

Jimmy Fallon weighs in on the benefits and downfalls of tuning in to watch the 87th annual Academy Awards on Sunday.

“Yes,” Swift said. “This is the reason for all the guitar lessons.”

Fallon mentioned that he was a little upset at the “Shake It Off” singer for having fun and dancing around at awards shows without him.

“That was our thing,” Fallon said.

“I’m sorry I forgot about that being our exclusive thing,” Swift said.

Fallon revealed that Swift attended various New York sporting events with him and the duo would “give it their all” on the jumbo-tron.

“We contacted the arenas around New York and actually got some random jumbo-tron footage,” Fallon said.

“Are we in it?” Swift asked.

“We’re actually a lot of it,” Fallon said.

To help remind the Grammy award-winning artist of their dancing past, Fallon played some of the “dance cam” footage he dug which included a Brooklyn Nets game, a New York Giants game, and a New York Islanders game.
