The Smile play “You Will Never Work in Television Again” on Fallon

The Smile chose “You Will Never Work in Television Again” for their first appearance on American late-night television, on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday 17 November. The band put the song out as their first single in January, and it is on A Light for Attracting Attention, their album from May.

The same day the band announced a limited edition of the album on Twitter, with new artwork and an exclusive 10-inch. To celebrate being selected as part of @RoughTrade's Album Of The Year 2022 list¹, they wrote. Rolling Stone reports that the artwork is by Stanley Donwood and that the 10-inch holds live versions of “A Hairdryer” and of “Open the Floodgates”, with the actor Cillian Murphy reading poetry.

On the show the saxophonist Robert Stillman played with them. He is on the album and is opening for the band on the North American tour, which began in Providence earlier in the week.
