Olive Garden president Dave George appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night to officially let the late-night host use its old "When You're Here, You're Family" slogan.

"We reached out to Olive Garden and said, 'If you're not going to use that slogan any more, can we have it? and they said yes," Fallon said.

George and Fallon signed a contract on the air. "Welcome to the family," George told him.

The contract was a licensing agreement that allows Fallon to use the slogan, but Olive Garden still has the rights to it as well.

The segment also included one of those ubiquitous spoofs of the old Olive Garden ads.

Olive Garden, owned by Orlando-based Darden Restaurants, ran its "When You're Here, You're Family" ads for more than a decade. Late last year it replaced those commercials with a new ad campaign.

Olive Garden spokeswoman Tara Gray said that after Fallon mentioned on-air he'd like the slogan for his show, Olive Garden contacted the show about pursuing the idea. Olive Garden and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon worked together during the past couple weeks to put together last night's skit.
