Diljit Dosanjh is set to make his debut on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Ahead of his debut, the host Jimmy Fallon and the singer have been sharing delightful behind-the-scenes moments. The official Instagram handle of The Tonight Show shared a video wherein Diljit is seen teaching Jimmy some Punjabi phrases. The host tries his best to say the singer’s iconic catchphrase, Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye, though his attempt at the end leaves room for laughter.
