The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon

One of the things on my NYC Bucket List was to attend a taping of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  We tried to get tickets and were put on the waiting list.  I think we found out we got tickets two days before the taping.  But we were able to make it work.

Our fancy souvenirs

You're not allowed to take pictures inside the studio, so this was the last and only proof we were going inside.

besides this sneaky picture Marcus took inside the lobby.  It was a fancy space.

We had a lot of fun, although I only really knew who one of the guests was.  Jimmy interviewed actor Greg Kinnear about method acting and foodie Padma Lakshmi about her new book and being a super taster.  And comedian Andrew Dice Clay did a performance at the end.  My favorite part was probably the Bad Signs segment, and of course Jimmy Fallon always is entertaining in his monologue.   I do have to admit we had a few good chuckles when Jimmy Fallon joked about Chipotle opening a burger joint.

We called my dad to have him record the show that night, and he was able to spot us in the audience.  We were pretty center, but a bit farther back.  I'm amazed he was able to see us.

So this is awesome...  Walking into the Rockefeller Center, we ran into two of our friends from church, Angie and Dave.  (Their daughter Winnie is friends with Chase.)  Small world, right?  They were coming to Jimmy Fallon too!  And Angie was on the edge of the row and got to hug him when he walked through the audience.

Marcus wanted to celebrate our Tonight Show experience with some Tonight Dough.  The store was out, but we got some a few days later.  It's good stuff.

The Tonight Show emailed us a thank you for attending.  How sweet.

And then a few days later, the train doors opened, and I saw an ad for Andrew Dice Clay's comedy show.  I saw him live on Jimmy Fallon! :)
