The pair sang Elvis Presley’s hit song “Love Me Tender,” with Fallon standing in for “the king” complete with the appropriate hair-do and sunglasses. Streisand’s appearance on _The Tonight Show_ was to promote her new duets album, “Partners,” which has tracks that sample Elvis recordings. Streisand’s last appearance on a late night talk show was a brief cameo on the _The Late Show_ in 1994. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3386653/barbra-streisand-tonight-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3386653/barbra-streisand-tonight-show/"},"headline":"See Barbra Streisand's First Appearance on The Tonight Show in 51 Years","datePublished":"2014-09-16T14:03:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:12:26.552Z","description":"Streisand and Fallon performed a duet where Fallon played Elvis","url":"https://time.com/3386653/barbra-streisand-tonight-show/","keywords":["Television","Late Night","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","Late Night Highlight"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2d354171bf1b8a7a/6986a37d06f2c103a4330bb9/455497840.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2d354171bf1b8a7a/6986a37d06f2c103a4330bb9/455497840.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 1","caption":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 1","creditText":"NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3386653/barbra-streisand-tonight-show/","name":"See Barbra Streisand's First Appearance on The Tonight Show in 51 Years"}}]}] ```
