American late-night show host Jimmy Fallon addressed his unexpected Sky Sports interview with Martin Brundle at the Miami Grand Prix. The celebrity also chewed off the microphone sock during the interview, which went viral on social media.
As usual, Brundle conducted his famous grid walk at the Miami Grand Prix, speaking with various celebrities and sports stars, including DJ Khaled and Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo. Among them was Fallon, who unexpectedly went for the Sky Sports microphone sock as well.
In the latest episode of The Tonight Show, Fallon discussed his experience at the Miami Grand Prix. He said: "It was so exciting. They have a thing called "the grid" or something, where they had you go out onto the track right before the race, and you do like 20 interviews with reporters all over the world. Just coming up to you, 'what do you think of the race?'"
Reflecting on the viral incident, which was also criticised by many fans, he then added: "Martin Brundle, by the way, your microphone tastes delicious."
