3. The Opening Musical (Barb Is Still Alive!)

NBC

There were a few highlights, such as Kit Harington riffing on Jon Snow's resurrection, Rami Malek hacking Fallon's hard-drive, and Justin Timberlake, who appeared to lift Fallon up to the stars. The best moment, though, was undoubtedly the Stranger Things kids, who turned up to perform a rap and then, gloriously, confirm that Barb is still alive - followed by the character herself rising out of the water, accompanied by a synchronised swimming performance.
