ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Headlines (The Tonight Show)

A headline is something that tells us what the news is going to be about. In The Tonight Show, the host will talk about different news stories and they will give us a headline to get us interested. For example, if they want to talk about a funny video that went viral on the internet, they might say "Tonight's Headline: The Funniest Video on the Internet". The headline lets us know what we'll be hearing about, and makes us want to keep watching the show to find out more!
