After returning from a week-long vacation, Jimmy Fallon devoted a full segment of "The Tonight Show" to correct a previous mistake surrounding TikTok dances.
On Monday, Fallon addressed backlash his show faced following a segment during its March 26 episode that featured TikTok personality Addison Rae performing eight dances popular on the social media platform. At the time, users on social media criticized "The Tonight Show" for failing to give on-air credit to the mostly Black creators of the dances.
