Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon often features four-legged guests on his talk show. From wild animals to domesticated pets, many fur babies have graced the famous stage to the delight of audience members.
Fallon recently had Barstool Sports founder and social media personality Dave Portnoystop by for a visit and the CEO brought along some furry friends.

Portnoy was on the iconic couch on July 16 with his now well-known Pit Bull rescue, Miss Peaches. The precious pooch was decked out in a black sequined dress with flowing flower skirt and shiny white rose neck wrap — what Portnoy referred to as “couture”. The Barstool Sports owner shared how he adopted Miss Peaches on Valentine’s Day in 2024 and recently made her the face of his new beverage brand, Lucky One Lemonade.
“I adopted Miss Peaches from a breeding situation about a year and a half ago,” Portnoy explained as the glamorous pup cuddled on his lap. “The world fell in love with her. Rightfully so — she’s the cutest dog in the world.”
Portnoy went on to reveal that Miss Peaches has well over a million followers on Instagram, achieving greater popularity than many of the celebrities he’s come across. Now with the pretty Pit Bull’s face on the cans of his new beverage, Portnoy is sharing a portion of the sales with animal rescue organizations.
“We donate every time you buy it,” he said. “It goes back to shelters, LifeLine Animal Shelter, which is where we got her… She’s a magic dog.”
The audience raved with applause over the gesture, as well as Miss Peaches’ presence on the show. The curious canine explored the stage as the interview continued before seating herself back on the couch.
Fallon then introduced the latest addition to Portnoy’s family, Pete the Beagle. Pete was also met with thunderous applause when he walked on stage, dapperly donned in a black sequined jacket. Both pup started to wander, with the beautiful Beagle heading toward the welcoming audience.
Portnoy adopted Pete from the same Atlanta shelter as Miss Peaches in October 2024. “We’ve been waiting for what we think is the perfect sibling for Miss Peaches — cause she loves everybody and I want her to have the fullest life,” Portnoy said at the time, according to Atlanta News First.
Miss Peaches’ popularity evolved into a merchandise line from which Portnoy has donated approximately $1 million from sales to LifeLine and other animal rescues nationwide.
Who knows? Maybe these two canine cuties will get their own stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
