From 'Gender-Swapped Yellowstone' to 'Dusty Horse Boys and One Woman' The post ‘The Tonight Show’ Thinks Up New Taylor Sheridan Shows to Keep Fans on Paramount+ Amid Merger Struggles appeared first on TheWrap .

As Paramount’s contentious merger with Warner Bros. faces numerous challenges, “The Tonight Show” took to its monologue to offer a potential solution to keep subscribers engaged on Paramount+. In the midst of the studio requesting nearly $1.9 billion from states due to delays, host Jimmy Fallon playfully pointed out that the network had a plan in place.

A cheerful voiceover proclaimed the company’s confidence in completing the merger, assuring fans that their beloved shows would remain accessible on Paramount+. Among the myriad of existing titles, the promo highlighted a dozen new series in production, courtesy of Taylor Sheridan’s creative influence. These new additions included titles such as “1923 BC,” “Dusty Horse Boys,” and the amusingly crafted “Gender-Swapped Yellowstone.”

The voiceover continued, joking about the possibilities of a dog discovering oil, prompting the creation of “Oil Dog?” and “Dusty Horse Boys and Two Women.” The promotional segment concluded with a series of whimsical yet ambitious show ideas, all designed to keep audiences hooked on Paramount+ during the merger’s prolonged timeline. As Fallon emphasized, the network’s desperate need for this merger was evident.
