Knicks Championship Celebration on 'Fallon': Players Reflect on NBA Title Win
By
Shirley Halperin, Jon Blistein
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
The Tonight Show hosted a Knicks championship celebration episode, with Jimmy Fallon stacking the guest lineup with NBA championship team players and filling the audience with die-hard fans who couldn't attend the Finals in person. The episode bumped original guest Lin-Manuel Miranda, who graciously deferred to next week. The night started with boos from a warmup comic joking about the Spurs, before the Roots shifted the energy.
