    More from Caleb McLaughlin's appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as fans react to his one-word comment on the final episode of Stranger Things 

    In his recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, December 18, Caleb McLaughlin spoke about how he had learned about his character, Lucas, before fully discovering his own true self while growing up on the series over the course of nine years. He also reflected on how each of his co-stars has now become like a true family to him.

    The young actor further teased his storyline towards the end of the series, and said:

    "It is not about me, It's not about 'oh what Luke is going to do.' The Duffer Brothers created this amazing story that a lot of people can relate to and how it ended. I don't want people to think I don't like Lucas' story or whatever. I do because the story is so good...I can't wait for everybody to finish watching rest of the series."

    In another part of his conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Caleb McLaughlin was asked to describe the remaining episodes of the show in just one word. When asked specifically about the penultimate episode, titled "The Rightside Up," he described it as an episode of "Zenith," in contrast to Finn Wolfhard who had previously described the eighth episode as "emotional" during his own appearance on the late night show.

     

    This led to fans taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their excitement about the finale of Stranger Things. This fan wrote:
