Notre Dame's Leprechaun, Otto The Orange Have Challenged Jimmy Fallon To A Lip-Sync Battle
Notre Dame and Syracuse are set to do battle on the gridiron this September 27th at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But apparently the mascots of the two teams want to join forces beforehand in a different kind of competition. This week, Notre Dame's leprechaun (in tandem with SU's Otto the Orange) tweeted at Jimmy Fallon, host of The Tonight Show, challenging him to a lip-sync battle. Fallon's partner, per suggestion, would be the show's famous panda.
">@jimmyfallon Otto and I will be in NYC 9/27 for ND v. Cuse. We challenge you to a 2 on 2 Lip Sync Battle with the Panda. #FallonTonight

It didn't take long for the schools - and their fans - to get involved.

If you've never seen the skit on the show, here's a great one between Fallon and actress Emma Stone.
Thus far, there is no word on whether Fallon and his crew will accept the challenge. If so, the Leprechaun would have to do the actual lip-syncing, since Otto the Orange doesn't have the ability to move his mouth. We'll see how it all plays out.
