Josh Hart appeared on the June 15 episode of The Tonight Show with his Knicks teammates
Fallon brought up something interesting during Hart's Tonight Show interview on Monday alongside teammates OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges.
Early in the 2026 NBA Playoffs, during a stoppage of play in Game 1 of the Knicks playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, Hart stopped courtside, where Fallon was sitting, to untie the longtime Tonight Show host's sneaker.

Hearing Fallon explain how it happened for the first time was just too funny.
"I had you on the show before, and I love you — and on the court, I don't look at you, you don't look at me. You're focused," Fallon explained. "So I was rooting for you the whole game — and then you walked by, and I thought you were fixing your sock or something, and you untied my shoe. And then you won by like, 20 points or whatever, and then the next game I went to, you did it again."
Hart couldn't help but laugh.

As it turns out, untying Fallon's shoes turned into one of Hart's biggest good-luck charms. In fact, the star continued the tradition throughout the 2026 NBA Playoffs as the Knicks rolled toward the NBA title.
So, will Hart continue his untying ways en route to a winning round of Password tonight against Fallon at 10 p.m. ET on NBC? Will Fallon opt for loafers to ward off Hart's tricks? There's only one way to find out.
