Jimmy Fallon hands off Late Night giant pickle to Seth Meyers

Jimmy Fallon officially handed-off the traditional Late Night giant plastic pickle to Seth Meyers on Tuesday’s show.

The pickle was given to Jimmy Fallon by previous Late Night host Conan O’Brien in 2009.

Conan O’Brien received the pickle from David Letterman’s staff in 1993. Before that, the giant plastic pickle was a staple decoration in the Letterman offices.

A few days before Jimmy Fallon’s first Late Night on March 2, 2009, the charming comedian shared the pickle’s tale and a sweet letter from his predecessor in an online video.

“Whenever you’re done – which won’t be for a long time – make sure you pass it on to the next sap,” Conan O’Brien penned and Jimmy Fallon read aloud.

“Knock ’em dead.”

Jimmy Fallon opined at the time: “It just kind of put everything in perspective, even though I’m holding a giant pickle …What a great tradition this is and what a great honor that I’m following in the footsteps of these great comedians.”

Seth Meyers takes over Late Night on February 24, when his first guest will be former SNL colleague Amy Poehler.

Jimmy Fallon’s first Tonight Show is a week earlier, with guests Will Smith and U2.

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon – soon to be Late Night With Seth Meyers – airs on NBC at 12:35 a.m. ET.
