Hosting the late-night show on NBC since 2014, Fallon honored the milestone on Thursday, July 18, along with the show's band, The Roots, led by Questlove, reported PEOPLE.

Joining in the celebration were guests Dave Bautista, Shawn Levy, and the Billboard Music Award-winning group Glass Animals.

To celebrate the special episode, the Jimmy Kimmel Live guest host was presented with a cake embellished with The Tonight Show logo, the Manhattan skyline, and his iconic microphone.

Wisely cracking about the accomplishment, Fallon told PEOPLE, "2000 shows! We've conquered quantity; next mountaintop: quality!"

Kicking off NBC's late-night show with his memorable monologue, the episode then featured Fallon engaging in his fan-favorite "Thank You Notes" segment.
