“I’m not used to this ‘music side’ of show business so when someone told me that this song was going to the top, I never imagined it being on the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building,” said Fallon. “I was born and raised in New York so seeing the holiday light show to my song ‘Wrap Me Up’ with Meghan Trainor on the top of the Empire State Building every night until Christmas is beyond my wildest dreams. My thanks to iHeartRadio, State Farm and the Empire State Building for helping me spread holiday cheer. I’ll also make sure Jared Leto gets back in the building and on the ground safely. Happy holidays!”
