As Knicks fever has taken over the world, the New York City home team is coming to late-night.
Following the team’s first NBA Championship win in more than 50 years, they well appear on Monday’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a special episode celebrating their unforgettable season.
“A booking 53 years in the making,” said Fallon of the historic victory.
The episode will feature appearances from Head Coach Mike Brown, NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and the entire Knicks team, as well as a performance by Wu-Tang Clan.
Fallon’s entire audience at 30 Rockefeller Plaza’s Studio 6B will be comprised of die-hard Knicks fans who were unable to attend the NBA Finals in person.
Previously announced guests for the Monday, June 15 episode will be rescheduled.
On Saturday, the Knicks won 94-90 against the San Antonio Spurs, marking the team’s first championship since 1973. The Game 5 win was just the latest in a series of comeback wins for the gritty New York team, including the greatest single-game comeback in NBA Finals history, clawing back from a 29-point hole to win Game 4.
