Fallon Details The Injury He Is Dealing With

According to Fallon, riding on that float with The Roots for years has taken a toll on his body. He went on to say that he started noticing pain in his elbow over the last year. Eventually, it got bad enough that he went to the doctor to have it checked out.

It turns out, he has what is called golfer’s elbow. He even joked that he isn’t sure how he got that because he doesn’t golf all that much. Fallon went on to say: “[The doctor]  said, ‘I think you have golfer’s elbow’ and I was like, ‘There’s no way.’ I don’t really golf that much — I golf four, five times a year or something — I go, but maybe I think I got it from waving. I think I got it from the waving on the float.”
