Monday night the Roots were inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame! Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to his house band and shared with the audience how much the musicians meant to him and his late night show.
Philadelphia's homegrown band The Roots -- now Jimmy Fallon's house band on the Tonight Show -- were inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame on Monday.
The Roots' plaque was unveiled in front of the Kimmel Center on the Avenue of the Arts Monday morning, and a gala at 7 p.m. celebrated the band's induction into the Walk of Fame.
Jimmy Fallon attended the gala to formally induct The Roots. Questlove, the band's drummer, has been Fallon's music director since last year.
The Roots aren't the only Tonight Show band to grace Philadelphia's Walk of Fame. Philadelphia native Kevin Eubanks, Jay Leno's music director for nearly two decades, also has a plaque on the walk.
