Jimmy Fallon’s monologue on “The Tonight Show” Monday started out like any other. Jokes about the Oscars, “Black Panther” and President Trump opened the skit.
And then the late-night talk show host received surprise visits from a slew of Atlantic Coast Conference mascots — including Miami’s Sebastian the Ibis — as he tried to rattle off jokes.
The mascots were in New York for the ACC men’s basketball tournament, which began Tuesday at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The mascots danced in front of Fallon — a potential nod to their hope that their team will end up dancing when the NCAA tournament field is released on Sunday.
