At Home Edition: Pharrell Williams, Millie Bobby Brown is the 119th episode of the seventh season of the popular television show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. As the title suggests, this episode is set in a unique format, with host Jimmy Fallon and his celebrity guests Pharrell Williams and Millie Bobby Brown appearing from their respective homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The episode opens with Jimmy Fallon welcoming his viewers to the show and introducing his guests, Pharrell Williams and Millie Bobby Brown. The setup is different from the usual set of the show as the host appears to be sitting in his own living room instead of his usual studio.
In keeping with the new format, Fallon focuses on the personal lives of his guests, asking them about how they've adapted to the quarantine. Williams talks about spending time with his family and trying new things in the kitchen, while Brown shares some of the makeup tutorials she's been filming on social media.
Next, the three engage in a little competition as they participate in a round of random musical impressions. The challenge involves each of them picking a celebrity name out of a hat and then impersonating that celebrity singing a random song. This brings out the comedic side of all three of them and provides some much-needed laughter in the midst of the current pandemic.
After the musical impressions, Williams and Fallon engage in a more serious conversation about the struggles facing the music industry amid the pandemic. Williams talks about his work to support music education and his belief in the power of music to unite people during this difficult time.
The trio then switches gears as they play a virtual game of Box of Lies, which involves each participant choosing a weird or unusual object from a box and trying to describe it in a way that's convincing while the other two try to guess if they're lying. The game leads to much laughter and some surprising revelations.
The mood shifts again as Brown talks about her recent work in Black Lives Matter activism and encourages viewers to take action themselves. She also shares her experience attending a protest in London and her hope for a better future.
Finally, Williams rounds out the show with a performance of his hit song, "Happy," while Fallon and Brown dance along from their living rooms. The performance is lively, uplifting, and a reminder that even in difficult times, there is still joy to be found.
Overall, At Home Edition: Pharrell Williams, Millie Bobby Brown is a fun, engaging, and heartwarming episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that showcases the personality and talent of each of the guests. The unique format adds a personal and relatable touch to the show and serves as a reminder of the challenges and joys of living in quarantine.
