Jimmy Fallon got a taste of his own medicine Monday night at Madison Square Garden. The Tonight Show host appeared courtside at Game 1 of the New York Knicks ' second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers . Little did he know it'd turn into quite the immersive experience.

had plenty of time for jokes. Here's a look at Hart's biggest one: Josh Hart, the jokester šŸ˜‚ pic. twitter.
