Everybody loves the legendary Don Francisco including talk show host Jimmy Fallon. Fallon gave his studio audience and viewers an epic surprise as the Telemundo legend graced his stage.
Don Francisco has created a name for himself as a television host. Hailing from the country of Chile, Francisco is known by millions for 50-year long career with “Sabado Gigante,” has signed a multi-year deal with Latino network Telemundo, in which he will produce content for Latino and international Hispanic audiences. So it’s no surprise that Fallon
Fallon starts the surprise with taking requests from one of his viewers, Mike Ronaldo. In the segment, Ronaldo asked if Fallon would have Francisco appear on "The Tonight Show" to discuss his new Telemundo series “Don Francisco Te Invita.”
While Fallon loves everyone, he was excited for the request but delivered bad news.
"I love Don Francisco. He is a legend. I would love to have him on," Fallon begins, "but unfortunately there is no way I can get him here right now."
Well at least that’s what we thought. The host delivers a surprise that gets the crowd riled up.
"Well, there is one way," Fallon continues. "Legend has it that he can summon him through the power of song."
Fallon begins singing a rendition of Willie Nelson’s intro for “To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before,” and out of nowhere Francisco pops up, and takes the stage to sing Julio Iglesias’ part.
The song was originally recorded in 1975 by Albert Hammond, but came a famously known for Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson’s 1983 recording. The song went on to earn Juilo Iglesias many accolades such as “Duo Of The Year” by the Country Music Association.
The impromptu performance brought the house down and of course gave the audience much needed nostalgia.
