WATCH: Tonight Show Jimmy Fallon Parodies 'Riverdale' & 'Peanuts'

The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon perfectly married his love for Peanuts and hit show Riverdale in a new parody video, and it is impressively on point. If there's one show that was made to be parodied, practically begging for it with its crazy and surreal drama, it's Riverdale. Fallon debuted the parody, aptly titled "Peanuts," on Tuesday night's broadcast.


The Charlie Brown themed tie and the Peanuts theme song during the school dance is synergistic nostalgia heaven.

Riverdale is an American television series based on the characters of Archie Comics.

Peanuts is a syndicated daily and Sunday American comic strip written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, which ran from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000. The stip was adapted to numerous animated movies, including the Award-winning A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Thank you, Jimmy, for giving our much-loved Peanuts the Riverdale treatment.

Whether it's a comic strip, a cartoon, or live-action, we love watching Charlie fall for Lucy's tricks.

Don't do it, Charlie!

Someone needs to make a live-action Peanuts show like right now.

Even the Riverdale cast shows up, taking the parody video to a whole new level of meta.

Looks like they were just passing through the hall.

Even they thought the Peanuts characters were a bit strange -- more strange than themselves!

Strange dancers, that is.

Twitter loved the sketch.

As in, people really LOVED it.

Maybe it was the doubled nostalgia all perfectly wrapped together into a perfect Christmas treat. Good grief never seemed so good!

Could Peanuts be its own series? We definitely think so.

The teacher gobble voice is everything!

"I actually just wrote a song about it... Wanna hear it?"

Poor Archie, maybe you shouldn't let everything that happens inspire a new song.

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
