The segment began with Fallon raving about America\u2019s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders<\/a>, whose latest season premiered June 16. Fallon asked Roots co-founder and band member Tariq Trotter (better known as Black Thought) if he had watched the show, and Trotter replied, \u201cYeah, it\u2019s great. Hey, you know what would really be cool, Jimmy? If they just came here right now and performed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fallon playfully dismissed the idea of the world-famous cheerleaders showing up out of the blue, before a woman in the audience stood up and said, \u201cBut what if it isn\u2019t impossible, Jimmy?\u201d<\/p>\n

After some back-and-forth with more undercover squad members in the audience, they removed their outer layer of clothing to reveal the iconic cheerleading uniform. The squad then took the stage for a pom-pom-shaking dance set to the hip-hop song \u201cMove Shake Drop.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cheerleaders aren\u2019t strangers to The Tonight Show, with appearances in June<\/a> and September<\/a> of last year.<\/p>\n

All seven episodes of the new season of America\u2019s Sweethearts, which follows the 36-member squad\u2019s audition process and explores the cheerleaders\u2019 lives on and off the field, are streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The segment began with Fallon raving about America\u2019s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, whose latest season premiered June 16.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,99207,91555,87998,92356,95703],"class_list":["post-350438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-sports-cowboys","tag-tp-celebrities","tag-tp-dallas","tag-tp-dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders","tag-tp-tv-personalities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
