Fallon & soccer star kick it

-

JIMMY Fallon took Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane out for a night on the town after the Premier League soccer player was a guest on his show, sources tell us. And they even played a practical joke on Jon Hamm.

Spies said that their first stop was downtown Italian eatery and celeb haunt Emilio’s Ballato, where the pair ran into Hamm and his girlfriend, actress Anna Osceola.

A source told Page Six, “Being the gentlemen they are, Jimmy and Harry sent over ‘half a meatball’ to congratula­te Hamm on the success of his new film, ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’ ” The longantici­pated sequel, also starring Tom Cruise and Miles Teller, hit theaters yesterday.

Later, we hear that the “Tonight Show” host and the soccer star hit up Johnny’s, where they were seen congratula­ting “West Side Story” star Ariana DeBose on her Oscar win, as well as her upcoming Tony hosting gig.

Named after Johnny Carson, the venue is the private floor of Pebble Bar, located in a fourstory townhouse near Rockefelle­r Center, where Fallon films. The bar-within-a-bar seats just 50 guests and is accessible only by elevator via a “secret” entrance. It features an intimate corner bar with vintage chairs, stone coffee tables and a classic black piano, we’ve reported. Backers of Pebble Bar include Pete Davidson, Mark Ronson and Jason Sudeikis.

Fallon and Kane also stopped at Irish pub Paddy Reilly’s Music Bar for pints of Guinness.

During their chat on Fallon’s show, 28-yearold Kane revealed that he became pals with Tom Brady by “sliding into his DMs.” “One thing that did inspire me growing up was actually a Tom Brady documentar­y,” Kane said. As a teen, “I came across this documentar­y on YouTube, I think it was called ‘The Brady 6.’ It was about how he got picked in the sixth round [of the NFL draft] and then become who became, one of the greatest sportsmen ever. It just gave me a real belief that it was possible for me to go on and kind of have that career. Thankfully, I was able to do that.”
