Tonight’s installment of NBC’s “Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” will veer away from the usual format, dispensing with the opening monologue and the traditional sit-downs with guests, Variety reports.

“Instead, Fallon will open the program by telling viewers that the entire episode has been shot with the Samsung Galaxy S10+ smartphone, which features an ultra-wide camera lens, and explain that it will showcase some of his favorite New York spots,” Variety reports, noting: “The collaboration is part of a broad ad deal Samsung has struck with NBCUniversal.”

The report quotes Patricio Paucar, Samsung’s vice president of marketing, saying: “We know consumer attention is being pulled in so many different directions today. It’s really hard to break through the noise and get people to engage in a way that best communicates the benefits of your products.”

According to Paucar, a solution is to have a television program “showcase” a product, “as opposed to showing them on screen in a commercial.”

Variety adds: “Samsung’s smartphone connection to ‘Tonight’ adds a new dimension to one of Madison Avenue’s most-sought formats. For the past few years, certain categories of advertisers have placed new emphasis on late-night TV, eager to get their products in front of younger viewers in unique ways that simply aren’t available in scripted programming (and are cheaper than advertising in primetime).”
