Jimmy Fallon's involvement

Before this show started, I read an article mentioning that Fallon was one of the executive producers, and I know this show was created based mostly on the popularity of the lip sync battle segments on The Tonight Show. But IMDb doesn't list Fallon as anything other than appearing in 2 episodes as himself.

I didn't know John Krasinski was one of the EP's until last night's episode, but he made a few references to Jimmy Fallon in the backstage clips. So does anyone know in what capacity Jimmy Fallon is involved in this show outside his appearances as a performer?

John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant created the concept, and Stephen brought it to the Tonight Show for a bit. From there, Jimmy took it to Spike, so all three are EPs. I'm looking forward to Smerch's episode. The dude is hilarious.

I hope this show doesn't mean he's not going to do it on the Tonight show anymore. It's so much better without all the theatrics
