Jimmy
Fallon got the royal treatment at Harvard.
The
“Tonight Show” host and “Saturday Night Live” alum was
honored Saturday by the Harvard Lampoon, the country’s oldest continuously
published humor magazine.
The
magazine awarded Fallon its Elmer Award for Excellence in Humor.

The
comedian was crowned “Emperor of Comedy” and paraded through Harvard
Square in a Roman chariot. The parade started by the Inn at Harvard and ended
at the steps of the magazine’s headquarters, Lampoon Castle, where he was
presented with a trophy and an 85-cent check.
It’s
just the seventh time the undergraduate organization says it has bestowed the
honor. Previous recipients include Jay Leno, John Cleese and Robin Williams. The
41-year-old Fallon took over “The Tonight Show” from Leno last year.
