Lawyers of Jimmy Fallon, star of NBC’s long-running comedy and variety series The Tonight Show, have filed a petition to "quash" a subpoena requiring him to testify in the Yuga Labs Inc. v. Ripps et al. case. 

The lawyers claim that Fallon has no connection to the dispute, is not a party to the Ripps litigation, and has never met or interacted with Ryder Ripps, creative director of OKFocus and Jeremy Cahen, one of the founders of the alleged Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) “copycat.”

While Fallon acquired a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT and talked about it on his show, he has nothing to do with the Yuga Labs and Ripps case, according to the petition.
