Audience members at the taping of Wednesday night's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon episode were treated to an early Christmas present in the form of a free iPad Air 2 for each person.

"I'm in the spirit of giving," Fallon remarked before revealing the giveaway in last night's version of the "Tonight Show Stocking Stuffers" segment Fallon has been running all week. On Monday, Fallon gave away Bose Soundlink Mini-Bluetooth Speakers, and Tuesday saw the gifting of a Vitamix S30 personal blender.


Fallon is known to be an avid fan of tech and gaming and Apple in particular, repeatedly commenting on big releases of Apple products like the iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch. The talk show host has also partnered with good friend Justin Timberlake to voice a handful of ads focusing on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Looks like audience members got iPads, and so did the members of the audience!

Better than that stupid bag Apple gave to its employees.

Right! How many millions does NBC and Fallon make that they ONLY gave away a $500 gift. seriously! I would walk right out of the audience if I got that! its insulting! Each person should have gotten at LEAST $10,000!!!!

Should read: "Apple gives IPad Air 2 16GB crippled model to Fallon audience." .
Why crippled? I own one. Works really well, nothing I find crippled.
