Miley Cyrus shaved Jimmy Fallon’s beard on ‘The Tonight Show’

On Dec. 9, Miley Cyrus made an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to discuss her New Year’s Eve Party on Dec. 31 on NBC and Peacock. The “Midnight Sky” singer hosted the same event last year with Pete Davidson, and this year she will be joined by her godmother, Dolly Parton

Cyrus promoted the upcoming TV special by shaving off host Jimmy Fallon’s beard. “This is a promotion plan I have going, this is definitely gonna make everyone watch my new show, this is gonna help,” said Cyrus, wielding the electric shaver. “I do this for Dolly all the time.”
