Jack Hughes is riding high on the wave of nationwide acclaim after his electrifying overtime goal for Team USA at the Winter Olympics. This standout moment not only secured the men's team their third Olympic gold but also ended a 46-year wait since the legendary "Miracle on Ice."
Hughes is set to share the spotlight on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on March 2. He'll be joined by his brother, Quinn Hughes, and Team USA women's gold medalist Hilary Knight for what promises to be an engaging conversation. Their appearances come in the wake of historic achievements, as both the men's and women's hockey teams clinched gold in the same Olympics for the first time.
Adding to the excitement, Megan Keller's clutch overtime goal sealed the deal for the U.S. women's team, marking their first Olympic gold since 2018.
The March 2 episode of "The Tonight Show" will also feature appearances from Nicole Kidman, Luke Thompson, and a culinary segment with chef Mario Carbone. For those wanting to tune in, the show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. EST on NBC and is available the next day on Peacock.
As for the weekend buzz, The Athletic has hinted that Quinn Hughes might make an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" on February 28. However, it's still up in the air whether Jack will join him, given the Devils' game in St.
Louis on the same day. The tight schedule could make it challenging for Jack to make a quick return for the show, but fans will be eagerly watching to see how it unfolds.
