Ben & Jerry’s unveils new flavor, The Tonight Dough, for Jimmy Fallon

Four years ago, Ben and Jerry’s created a special ice-cream flavor for Jimmy Fallon to celebrate his tenure in late-night with Late Night Snack, but that name no longer fits. Hasn’t for a year.

So now, the host of The Tonight Show has a brand-new flavor, unveiled last night.

The Tonight Dough features Caramel & Chocolate Ice Creams with Chocolate Cookie Swirls & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. Ben & Jerry’s says proceeds from your purchase of the flavor will be dedicated to SeriousFun Children’s Network of global camps for children with serious illnesses.

Roll the clip:

Fallon’s first flavor emerged from his friendly late-night feud with Stephen Colbert.

But what’s going to happen with Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream? Please don’t let the dream die!

Previously: I spoke with Ben & Jerry’s years ago about how they decide on a new comedy-themed flavor for their progressive ice-cream company.
