Shade for Jimmy Fallon.
The 50-year-old appeared at the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday morning donning a pair of sunglasses — despite the downpour and overcast skies, prompting jokes from NBC viewers.
“Rain or shine, you have to get out there,” the “Tonight Show” host said on “Today” at the parade, per USA Today, saying that “everyone is still out here cheering” despite the drizzle. “It is the best holiday.”
But it was precisely the weather — and the late-night show host’s choice of accessories — that perplexed viewers.
“Sunglasses in the rain is the most Jimmy Fallon that Jimmy can Fallon,” one person wrote on X, per the Daily Mail.
only logical reason someone would be sporting shades on a cloudy, stormy day.
“Jimmy Fallon got an umbrella and wearing sunglasses in this wet weather,” wrote one X user. “He got a heavy hangover.”
While the posts are merely allegations, Fallon did previously write on social media that “no one will know when you’re hungover” if you wear sunglasses.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum performed a song with the Roots upon reaching the 34th Street Macy’s flagship after last year’s lip syncing snafu.
Another performer included “Vanderpump Rules” alum Ariana Madix as she joined the star-studded line-up of “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo, Billy Porter, Kylie Minogue and more during the procession, which kicked off at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Years ago, after being called out for not singing live at the parade, John Legend revealed that most of the stars are forced to lip sync “because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance.”
