Last night was the broadcast of the first of a week of episodes of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon filmed at Universal Orlando.
To do his show’s first roadtrip right, Fallon recorded a new intro for the show that featured his journey to Orlando for the first show. Here is that special Orlando intro, which pays homage to Miami Vice:
As we noted a few weeks ago, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is taking its first road trip to Universal Orlando next week. Tickets to see the show tape went in a half hour, but you can still catch the musical guests.
The acts will perform at Universal Studios Music Plaza (where the Mardi Gras concerts happen) next Monday through Thursday at 9pm nightly. Performances will only be 1 or 2 songs long – not a full concert – but you may be able to catch your favorite act live, even if it’s briefly.
Scheduled performers include Jennifer Lopez on Monday, Jimmy Buffett on Tuesday, fun. on Wednesday and Pitbull on Thursday.
If you can watch the concerts if you have a park ticket for that day or a Universal Orlando annual pass (except Power Passes, which are blacked out for the summer).

Hulu announced its original programming slate for 2014 at CES in Las Vegas, and among the new series it will be airing is “The Hotwives of Orlando,” a reality show spoof of the various “Real Housewives of” shows.
The press release states, “The inaugural season takes you inside the uber-exclusive and glamorous world of six hot housewives livin’ large in Central Florida’s sexiest city, Orlando. The show follows a cast of ladies as they fight over pretty much everything except for their love of shoes, plastic surgery, and the pursuit of spending all of their husbands’ money.”
The Hotwives of the show are played by several funny ladies, including a now-blonde Casey Wilson (“Happy Endings”), Angela Kinsey (“The Office”), Kristen Schaal (“Flight of the Conchords”), Tymberlee Hill (“Drunk History”), Danielle Schneider (“Upright Citizens Brigade”) and Andrea Savage (“Step Brothers”).
The seven episode show was actually filmed in Los Angeles, but it will be interesting to see how Orlando is referenced in the course of the series.
Here is the official trailer for the show, courtesy of Hulu:
