Just last week, tickets to Jimmy Fallon's post-Super Bowl show sold out in four minutes, leaving many interested Valley residents unable to see the late-night talk show host's show.
However, the Tempe Undergraduate Student Government is hoping to bring Fallon to ASU if its social media campaign, #ASUTonight, proves successful, USG Special Events Director Shay Kak said.
Tempe USG is asking students to tweet and Facebook Fallon on Wednesday, Jan. 21, and will be talking to students on campus about the campaign. Students have already been tweeting at Fallon and joining the Facebook event.
"It's amazing how many people caught onto doing the social media pitch," Kak said.
In September, Kak and other students were brainstorming what events would be good for students, when they decided to start a social media and mailing campaign to get his attention.
"We are really hoping it works," Kak said. "We have so many ideas if he does come ... and we know a lot of students like Jimmy Fallon."
