Jack Blankenship, a freshman at the University of Alabama, was a guest on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday, but it wasn't to talk school or TV.

Making a goofy face that he perfected with his friends while holding up a huge poster of said goofy face at home games.

The excitement only built when Blankenship was spotted at Monday's Knicks game in a Jeremy Lin jersey, and it turns out he was in town to appear on "Late Night."
