Without a plan, without a map and with his cell phone battery almost empty, “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon wanders around Bavaria headlong – until he is recognized. Fallon had previously attended an Adele concert in Munich.

- US talk show host Jimmy Fallon shared his experiences in Bavaria on Tiktok, including his unsuccessful attempts to hitchhike.
- Eventually, he met two young men at a car repair shop who helped him; one of them knew Fallon and arranged a ride with his mother.
- Fallon was impressed by the kindness of the people and invited his helper and his mother to the USA to visit his show in New York.
He said he crossed fields, was afraid of snakes, and tried in vain to hitchhike on the highway: the cars didn’t even slow down, let alone stop, he says on Tiktok.
Eventually he met two young men in a car repair shop, one of whom recognized him and agreed to drive him – although his mother then took over the ride, as the man didn’t have a driver’s license. The people here are really very nice: “I’m in love with Bavaria,” said Fallon.
His rescuer was also delighted to meet the US star. “He is exactly as we know him from his shows. Totally likeable,” said 22-year-old Leon Ewerdwalbesloh in an interview with the radio station Antenne Bayern.
Fallon was particularly enthusiastic about his mother’s old Golf convertible, which still has a cassette recorder.
The talk show host published a video on Instagram showing the three of them driving along a country road and singing along to the song “Killer Queen” by the band Queen. “It’s kind of surreal, but totally funny and cool,” said Ewerdwalbesloh. In the end, Fallon even invited him and his mother to the USA. He said: “If you’re ever in New York, please call me and come to my show.”
