Background

This is Jimmy Fallon's production company. It was formerly known as Holiday Road.

Holiday Road

(September 12, 2012-February 27, 2013)

Visuals: We begin close to a light blue window on a black house. After the window lights up gold inside, we quickly zoom back to reveal both the house in full (whose roof is covered in snow) and the environment, consisting of a starry night sky, snow-covered yards, a road and another house on the other side (which also has an unlit window). The stacked text "HOLIDAY ROAD" is revealed below the road in the process. When we're done zooming, the whole product is revealed to be enclosed inside a circle against a paper background. Then, the second house's window turns on.

Variant: On the pilot episode of the series, there is a shortened version that only starts with the other house's light turning on.

Technique: CGI.

Audio:

  • A 7-note piano/string/synth theme with a click for each light turning on. Jingle bells are also heard at the end. This has been used since episode 3 (except episode 5, which uses the 2nd music variant).
  • The short version has only the last two notes of the 2nd theme. The 1st click is omitted here.
  • The episodes "Chris' New Girlfriend" and "Gary's Day Off" has a 4-note ascending arrangement of the theme with the last note held out and combined with a soft cymbal sound. Oddly, the 2nd click is omitted.

Availability: Seen only on Guys with Kids.

Electric Hot Dog

(January 4, 2021-)

Visuals: On a black background is a neon outline of a hot dog with a gold lightning bolt on the wiener, serving as the mustard. The texts "ELECTRIC" and "HOT DOG" circle around the hot dog from the bottom and top of each bun respectively. Everything then flickers on their own before they simultaneously light on.

Variant: A still version exists.

Technique: The logo blinking.

Audio: A click, then a buzzing synth note, and lastly another clear synth note that begins with another click. Oftentimes, it's the closing theme or none.

Availability: First seen on later episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and later appeared on series and specials such as Clash of the Cover Bands, The Kids Tonight Show, Love Joy, 5 More Sleeps 'til Christmas and That's My Jam.
