Jimmy Fallon Says March Madness 2025 Is Different Because ‘a Car Flipped Over’ Could Be ‘People Protesting Elon Musk’ Instead of Basketball Fans | Video

Jimmt Fallon noted during his monologue on Wednesday’s “The Tonight Show” that this year, the NCAA College Basketball Tournament — AKA March Madness — is a bit different, because the often destructive celebrations fans get up to resemble the public reaction to Tesla owner and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk.

“Tomorrow is the first round of March Madness. Yeah, but this year will be a little different. If you see a car flipped over, it’s either fans celebrating their school or people protesting Elon Musk, so just be careful,” Fallon joked. “One of the two.”

“I’m enjoying this time now, because in about 12 hours, my bracket will be more useless than JFK files Trump just released,” Fallon continued.

“Meanwhile, Yale made the tournament this year, they’re a 13 seed, and they play at number four Texas A&M,” he noted. “Yeah, it’s pretty lopsided matchup. You could tell how Yale’s fans are feeling just based on the signs that they made for the game.”

Of course, fans of “The Tonight Show” know this was the cue to show some fake signs imagining the slogans people who attend Yale would come up with. They were:

“Ahem. Don’t you know who our fathers are?”

“Do you want to take this outside, where my driver will fight you for me?”

“This is worse than that time my family stayed at the White Lotus.”

“Why don’t we settle this like real men, with a sailboat race?”

“Does the concession stand carry foie gras per chance?”

Please show me on TV so everybody knows I went to Yale.”

After this, Fallon did a cute joke asking his fellow “The Tonight Show” performers who their top 4 picks for the tournament are.

First, Fallon asked Black Thought (Tariq Trotter), who said, “my top four are Georgia, Oregon, Omaha and Juke.”

“Oh, that’s that spells good. That’s a good sign. How about you quest?” Fallon said.

At that, Questlove said, “I got Bryant, Alabama, Lipscomb and Louisville.”

“Wow. ‘Ball,’ that’s perfect. That’s perfect, too.”

Then Fallon asked his announcer, Steve Higgens, who said, :I got Florida, Utah State, Creighton,” at which point Fallong cut him off because, well, he was spelling F-U-C…

There’s a lot more to the monologue of course. Watch the whole thing below:
