He believes he'll have the final say. Jimmy Fallon isn't concerned about his unusual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade appearance, reportedly thinking it's beneficial publicity for his upcoming holiday album. The "Tonight Show" host, 50, faced criticism from fans for wearing sunglasses during the parade, despite the rainy conditions. He was also accused of lip-synching during his performance of "Hey Rudy" with his longtime backup band, The Roots. However, Fallon isn't letting the negative feedback from his parade appearance get him down.
"Jimmy isn't embarrassed by people pointing out his appearance and performance at the Macy's parade," a source told the outlet. "The only person people seem to be discussing from the parade is him." They added, "For Jimmy, he's hoping this interest will lead to more album sales this holiday season." The comedian sported a pair of sunglasses despite the heavy rain and overcast skies, prompting fans to roast him online.
"Rain or shine, you have to get out there," Fallon said on "Today" during the parade, according to USA Today, noting that "everyone is still out here cheering" despite the drizzle. "It is the best holiday." However, NBC viewers weren't entirely supportive.
"Sunglasses in the rain is the most Jimmy Fallon that Jimmy can Fallon," one person wrote on X, per the Daily Mail. "Jimmy Fallon rocking sunglasses at the Macy's Parade — in the rain — felt like comedy gold," another user commented. "Who needs weather-appropriate choices when you have *vibes*?" "It's raining at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Why is Jimmy Fallon wearing these sunglasses?" someone else snarked.
Some users even speculated that the actor might be wearing shades due to a hangover, arguing it's the only logical reason someone would wear sunglasses on a cloudy and stormy day. "Jimmy Fallon got an umbrella and wearing sunglasses in this wet weather," wrote a viewer. "He got a heavy hangover." While these are just allegations, Fallon previously commented on social media that "no one will know when you're hungover" if you wear sunglasses.
Fallon also took a moment to share a social media post with a song he wrote called "Thanksgiving Eve." "This 'Drinksgiving', while you are at your mini high school reunion at your hometown bar, feel free to converse, laugh and silently judge old friends but also feel free to play 'Thanksgiving Eve' from my new album on the @touchtunes jukebox," Fallon captioned the post. "Also – please tip your bartenders. They are working harder than Santa tonight."
