Jimmy Fallon Performs at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

Jimmy Fallon made headlines during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where his microphone appeared to be switched off while he performed 'Hey Rudy' with The Roots, leading viewers to speculate he was lip-synching. Despite suffering from 'golfer's elbow', Fallon remained energetic and determined to wave to fans, marking his eleventh appearance at the event. The parade, which took place in rainy conditions, drew an estimated 3.5 million spectators and featured 28 acts, including performances from celebrities like Idina Menzel and Jennifer Hudson. Kotb and Guthrie hosted the NBC coverage, with speculation that this might be Kotb's last year due to her upcoming retirement. Viewers expressed mixed reactions to Fallon's performance, with some finding it awkward as he seemed distracted and overly energetic, leading to accusations of intoxication. Overall, the parade kicked off the holiday season with a blend of music, entertainment, and festive spirit.
