Famed country singer and five-time Grammy Award-winner, Chris Stapleton, brought famed talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, on stage with him at The Tonight Show Tuesday night (October 5).

Fallon introduced the performance as an “interesting performance,” saying, “I got a text last night from Chris saying that his guitarist Dave Cobb has an ear infection. So he could not travel, he could not fly on the plane. He’s fine. He said, ‘So I need a guitarist.’ And I said to Chris, ‘Say no more,” as Fallon pulled out his own guitar.
“We actually got on the phone and Facetimed last night,” Fallon laughed. “And you tried to teach me the lick and the chords to the song. I’m gonna try my best. So here’s me and Chris Stapleton doing ‘You Should Probably Leave.’ I appreciate this,” Fallon added as he headed to the stage to join Chris.

The performance marks a big year for Stapleton, who also leads nominees at the upcoming 55th Annual CMA Awards with nominations in five categories, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (Starting Over), Single of the Year (“Starting Over”) and Song of the Year (“Starting Over”).
Stapleton is currently on the road for his All-American Road Show Tour with stops in New York’s Madison Square Garden, two nights at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and Washington State’s Gorge Amphitheatre as well as “A Concert for Kentucky”—a special performance to be held at University of Kentucky’s Kroger Field on April 23, 2022.
