Jimmy Fallon Gets His Texas On
Even before the day of his first ever college campus show, “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon was all over Austin. He posted videos and pics on Instagram from 6th Street, Hole In The Wall, Veracruz, and smack dab in the middle of the stadium, most of which were featured in the show’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” opening number. In case you’re living in a hole, guests for the big UT show were Professor Matthew McConaughey, Chip and Joanna Gaines, and musical guest Gucci Mane, who performed a trap version of “The Eyes of Texas,” which we’re still confused about.
