Jimmy Fallon is confirmed to host the Olympics closing ceremony.
Tirico had appeared with singer Kelly Clarkson and retired football star Peyton Manning Tuesday on The Tonight Show to announce they will host the opening ceremony at the Olympics.
During his time on the show, Tirico invited Fallon to join him in Paris, which Fallon shared more details about Wednesday.
"So before the show, NBC said that Mike had a surprise for me, and I thought that was the surprise -- that he's announced that they're doing the opening ceremony together," Fallon said.
"So, I finished this segment. I go to commercial, I go in the hallway, and there's all the NBC families in the hallway -- Molly Solomon, everybody from NBC Olympics -- and they're all clapping," he shared. "They're like, 'Do you want to do it?'"Fallon confirmed him hosting is "real" and "happening."
"I'm going to do it!" he said. "I am headed to Paris. I'm going to co-host the Olympics closing ceremony this summer."
The Paris Summer Olympics will run July 26 to Aug. 11.
