AceShowbiz - Jimmy Fallon, the ever-energetic host of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", made an unforgettable appearance at this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but not for the reasons one might expect. Sporting a black wool jacket, tie, white collared shirt and notably, black sunglasses under a see-through umbrella amidst a downpour, Fallon left viewers scratching their heads. His unexpected ensemble quickly became fodder for social media, with comments like "Sunglasses in the rain is the most Jimmy Fallon that Jimmy can Fallon" capturing the collective amusement and confusion.

During a live rendition of "Hey Rudy" alongside his band The Roots, Fallon's microphone appeared to be switched off, leading to what one X (formerly Twitter) user described as "the worst case of lip singing ever." The mix-up led to widespread speculation about whether Fallon was indeed singing or merely going through the motions. Despite this slip-up, some fans appreciated the spirited performance, with one noting, "Jimmy Fallon rocking sunglasses at the Macy's Parade-in the rain-felt like comedy gold."

Fallon's choice of sunglasses amidst gloomy weather raised eyebrows, leading to rampant online speculation about his state of sobriety. With comments ranging from "Is Jimmy Fallon drunk? At 8:45 am?" to "I need a little of whatever Jimmy Fallon had this morning," viewers were quick to label his demeanor as "big hangover energy." Some users humorously suggested Fallon was attempting to hide evidence of a previous night's "bender," adding, "Jimmy Fallon was clearly on a bender and woke up and proceeded to show up at the parade."

While Fallon's antics became the day's hot topic, a source clarified to DailyMail.com that the choice for Fallon and his band to wear sunglasses was deliberate. The insider noted, "His band (including The Roots) are wearing sunglasses, they all rehearsed in them. It is pouring and they are getting rushed everywhere."

The 98th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade featured a star-studded lineup and extravagant floats. However, the rainy weather led to diminished crowd enthusiasm and some lackluster performances. Despite criticisms suggesting the need for changes in the parade's production, including fewer Broadway shows and stopping the lip-syncing, the parade remained a cherished tradition for millions tuning in from home.
