Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Mets Bucket Hat Guy Is Fallon's Only Audience Member

As previously reported, dangerous conditions in New York, due to Hurricane Sandy, forced the cancellation of several late-night shows that tape in the city, while The Late Show With David Letterman and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon soldiered on, minus the usual studio audience. Well, I guess in the case of Late Night, that's not strictly true: one guy showed up -- and it's a guy we've seen on Late Night before.

Mets Bucket Hat Guy -- maybe the world's foremost fan of Jimmy Fallon and word association -- is Late Night writer Mike DiCenzo, someone you should get to know. if you watch Late Night, you've seen him before; here's his last pre-Sandy performance as MBHG.

Here he is playing Gus DiLello in my personal favourite recurring Late Night bit (now that they've stopped doing Video Vision): Cupid's Arrow.

And here he is on Twitter, being great.

Thank you, Mike DiCenzo, for all you do. We like you now a whole lot.
