America’s top talk show hosts are turning their homes into late-night TV studios during lockdown.

Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres are among stars making at-home editions of their programmes.

It offers a rare glimpse into their interior design choices — and the home of Fallon and his film-maker wife Nancy Juvonen looks the most fun.

Fallon’s main filming spot, with Juvonen on camera duty, is their ranch-style games room and play area with a pool table, popcorn machine and musical instruments.

Instead of stairs there’s a slide, which Fallon whooshes down at the end of each show.

He paid £4.9 million for the 19th-century six-bedroom farmhouse in the Hamptons nine years ago as a retreat from New York City.

There’s plenty of outdoor space, where Fallon filmed one show in a giant tent he bought online.

With social distancing in full flow and a young family to entertain, he seems very grateful for his country escape.
