“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon wrote a funny “thank you” note to Syracuse, nearly a year after visiting Central New York for a Syracuse basketball game with Tom Brady and Julian Edelman.
Fallon’s shout-out to the snowy Salt City came during a segment Friday night called “Thank You Notes.” The late-night comedy star pretends to write silly cards as sentimental music plays in the recurring bit.
“Thank you, ice scrapers, for making me feel like an archaeologist uncovering an ancient Ford Focus in Syracuse,” he said with a smirk.
Fallon, Brady and Edelman were celebrity guests of local businessman Adam Weitsman at a February 2020 basketball game in the Carrier Dome, sitting courtside near Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim. Fallon, who grew up south of Albany in Saugerties, previously showed love for Syracuse by featuring team mascot Otto the Orange on his show and shouting out former SU basketball player Rakeem Christmas, who famously wore No. 25 for the Orange.
Other “thank you notes” jokes Friday included President Donald Trump’s second impeachment, Taco Bell, the iPhone camera roll, and a jab at the Buffalo Bills in the NFL playoffs.
“Thank you, NFL playoffs this weekend. Or, as the Bills and the Browns put it: ‘Hey, we don’t know what we’re doing here, either,’” Fallon cracked. “That is cool.”
The Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round Saturday after Buffalo won their first playoff game in 25 years last week. The Cleveland Browns, who upset the Pittsburgh Steelers last week for the Browns’ first playoff win since the 1994 season, next face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
