Summary

  • Studio 6B got its own Knicks tribute Monday when Jimmy Fallon and Josh Hart raised Fallon’s signed left shoe into the rafters during a championship-themed “Tonight Show” episode.
  • The shoe became a good-luck charm after Hart untied it courtside during the Knicks’ 137-98 Game 1 rout of the 76ers; Fallon later had the team sign it and saved Hart for the final autograph.
  • The full Knicks roster and coach Mike Brown took over 30 Rock after a day of celebrations, with Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Hart and Mikal Bridges appearing across two segments.
  • Spike Lee introduced the team, Leon Rose drew repeated “Thank you Leon” chants from the crowd, and Wu-Tang Clan performed “C.R.E.A.M.” as the title run’s media victory lap spread beyond Madison Square Garden.
