Jimmy Fallon Looking for a Truck on NBC Tonight Show

Jimmy Fallon on NBC Tonight Show

Why are truck makers fighting over Jimmy Fallon?

That's because they want an endorsement by the new host of NBC's Tonight Show, who has been getting 10 million viewers.

Jimmy Fallon Mentioned Getting a Truck on the Tonight Show and Ford Tweets First

On Wednesday, March 5, 2014, Jimmy Fallon mentions at the beginning of the Tonight Show that he wants to buy a truck, but knows very little about trucks.

@FordTrucks quickly tweets at 11:02 p.m. "@jimmyfallon We think you should get a 2015 F-150 King Ranch edition cot.ag/MPiq3x"

Ford Tweets Jimmy Fallon

It should be noted that this truck is not even available yet. Its production starts in a couple of months. 

Then on March 6, 2014, Chevy tweeted:

"Hey +Jimmy Fallon! Looking for a truck, huh? The #Silverado would look nice in the #FallonTonight family's driveway. DM us & we'll help!"

But Dodge drove a truck and parked it outside of 30 Rock with a sign that read: "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out."

Dodge Tweets Jimmy Fallon

So Jimmy Fallon sends out MC Tariq from his band, The Roots, and he test drives the Dodge Ram and says it does everything his Mini Cooper does. Dodge Ram sells a V-6 diesel version that gets 29 mpg (highway).

What kind of truck do you think Jimmy Fallon will get?

Jimmy Fallon Wants NBC Station Specific Guests

Guests on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon are being asked by NBC to not appear on any other morning, daytime, or nighttime talk show for three months. If they want to go on the NBC morning talk show, they can.

Jimmy Kimmel on ABE is trying to keep up with Jimmy Fallon. He got his largest ever audience of almost 7 million viewers for his post-Oscar show. But Jimmy Fallon had an average of 10.42 million viewers in his first week as the host of the Tonight Show.
