"Comedy and chaos make a perfect duo": Internet reacts as Doja Cat co-hosts 'The Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon

On Wednesday night, October 1, 2025, NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was co-hosted by Grammy-winning rapper Doja Cat. She sat next to Fallon behind the late-night desk.

The episode was Doja Cat's first time co-hosting the show. It soon became a topic of discussion online. Fans reacted, saying:

"Ha! Comedy and chaos make a perfect duo. Doja teaming with Jimmy Fallon to co-host "The Tonight Show" promises a night where anything can happen - and probably will. 🎤A😂💖🌟"

The appearance came days after the release of Doja Cat's fifth studio album, Vie. Her stop at The Tonight Show was a promotional push. She also did an experiment in hosting like other music stars, such as Ed Sheeran, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and Shawn Mendes, who have also shared Fallon's seat.

During the October 1 broadcast, Doja Cat took part in the opening monologue. She walked out mid-segment with Questlove to perform a reenactment of a scene from The Real Housewives of Miami. Later, she and Fallon took turns reading trending hashtags. In one segment, she taught him dance moves from New Kids on the Block's The Right Stuff.

In her interview portion, Doja Cat opened up about Vie:

"It came from a series of wordplay. This is my fifth album, so five is the Roman numeral V. I wanted more, so I thought of ‘Vie,’ the French word for life."

To support Vie, Doja Cat is launching the Ma Vie World Tour. The run will span late 2025 through 2026. A complete itinerary is as follows:
