From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Jimmy Fallon was interrupted by his daughter while interviewing Jennifer Garner from his own home.

The TV host has been hosting segments from home for his Tonight Show, which help raise funds for charity during the coronavirus pandemic.

On Thursday, he was preparing to duet with Garner – with Fallon playing the guitar and Garner playing the saxophone – when one of his two daughters walked in.

While Fallon’s daughter can’t be seen in the frame, she can be heard asking: “Daddy, how do I change my character?”

Fallon responds: “You’ve got to give me fine minutes, OK, bud?”

Garner then laughs and tells him her own children all wanted to come in at one point, to which she replied: “Um, don’t you have online school?”

She then plays “Happy Birthday” – “the hand-washing song”, as she refers to it, while Fallon sings along.

The segment benefited Save The Children.

Other clips recorded by Fallon have been used to raise funds for Feeding America and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
