Jimmy Fallon made his 10th appearance at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade but his fans did not understand whether it was Thanksgiving or Drinksgiving for the comedian and he chose to wear all black outfit, covered his eyes with shades and carried a transparent umbrella. Yes, he was wearing a sunglass amid rain in New York City.
Jimmy Fallon joined Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and AI Roker in hosting the parade, but his fashion choice remained a puzzle. “Sunglasses in the rain is the most Jimmy Fallon that Jimmy can Fallon,” one user wrote. Another wrote: “Jimmy Fallon on the least sunny day NYC has ever seen,” with picture of a young Jodie Sweetin in Full House wearing oversized yellow glasses. A third person wrote: “Jimmy Fallon is wearing sunglasses in the rain because…..” A fourth posted: “Jimmy Fallon wearing sunglasses while it’s raining in NYC tells me everything about him being hungover this early for.” “Jimmy Fallon DEF hung over this AM with the DARK Ray Bans on in the rain,” one said.
The 2024 parade kicked off at 8:30 AM EST with an additional telecast at 2 PM EST. It was available for viewing on NBC and Peacock with a special Spanish broadcast on Telemundo.
It was hosted by Today’s Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker. Performers include Jennifer Hudson, Billy Porter, and Kylie Minogue. However, other stars made their way down the avenues on festive floats, including Jimmy Fallon, Ariana Madix, and T-Pain. YouTube star Charli D’Amelio made her anticipated appearance. For sports fans, the New York Liberty brought their mascot, Ellie the Elephant.
The parade was chaotic because of the rain and also the terror threat though the parade went off well with no major incidents. Pro-Palestine protesters who blocked the parade route were arrested swiftly by the NYPD.
