In addition to handing over the role as host of “Late Night” to Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon also gifted the comedian a late-night heirloom. “There’s a late-night tradition.

Fallon then presented Meyers with the giant “late night pickle,” to which Meyers hilariously responded, “I don’t know if I have room for it.”
Three years later, Meyers stopped by “The Tonight Show” again, and Fallon was sure to congratulate his television pal on his accomplishments. “You set a very high standard, I wanted to live up to your standard,” Meyers told Fallon. The camaraderie didn’t end there; months later, Fallon escorted Meyers to his studio to start “Late Night” in truly wholesome fashion.
