Mainers may get an opportunity to see Cooper Flagg in a different light next week.

The Newport native and Dallas Mavericks rookie star is scheduled to appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, Feb. 23.

The “Tonight Show” will air at 11:35 p.m. on NBC after the local news.

Flagg will appear with comedian/actor Tracy Morgan, actor Neve Campbell and South Korean nine-member girl group TWICE.

The show is returning from a two-week break as NBC covered the 2026 Winter Olympics.
