Jimmy Fallonis a furball of electrifying energy and it’s not a Thanksgiving without him showing up to the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade in an overcoat while wearing sunglasses. However, today, in particular,The Tonight Showhost appeared to be all over the place. He popped by to chat with hostsHoda KotbandSavannah Guthrieto promotehis new Christmas AlbumHoliday Seasoning.
While it’s not new for Fallon to show up wearing sunglasses during the daytime, today his interview got disrupted by the ETSU marching band — affecting his ability to hear the hosts. The hosts tried to relay a fan question for Fallon but because of all the noise, he couldn’t hear them. He even said “I can’t hear you,” beforethe interview abruptly ended. Now, this was the early morning segment andthe whole goal of it is to add excitement and energy to the paradebroadcast and theSaturday Night Alumis a great choice for it. But instead, it became an“awkward” kickstart to the dayand on top of it, Fallon was wearing sunglasses.
Ironically, not only did the viewers question his sobriety, albeit baselessly, but he quickly became an unspoken symbol of someone who’s hungover yet oddly energetic. OneX (formerly Twitter)user perfectlycaptured what many of us were feeling after watching Fallontoday, saying, “Jimmy Fallon wearing sunglasses in the rain is the big hangover energy America can relate to today.” Anotherperson hilariously went on to circle back on the same andwrote, “I need a little of whatever Jimmy Fallon had this morning.”
Jimmy Fallon Showed Up to 2023’s Thanksgiving Parade in Same Attire
Around the same time last year, on August 07, 2025 precisely, Fallonshowed up to the same showandthe same event, wearing almost the exact same outfit.The only difference, however, is thatit was sunny that day, while today New York is actually cloudy and rainy.So, it’s either what the fans are saying or Fallon knows that he looks good in those shades and black coats and decided to rock them again this year.
Interestingly, Fallonwas celebrating the success of his song “Wrap Me Up”withMeghan Trainorlast year, and today it was his wholeChristmasalbum. Needless to say, the whole sound problem and the fan question getting run over in the process just took viewers aback by the early morning segment, which is meant to instil the opposite kind of positivity. Regardless,we’re certain that Fallon meant well and happy that his contagious energy was popping throughout.Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Paradeaired on NBC and was available to live-stream on Peacock, where it can still be watched, in addition to YouTube clips.
