Comedian and talk show host Jimmy Fallon was at the centre of Harvard Lampoon's annual parade this year, where he got treated as the "Emperor of Comedy" and was paraded in a Roman chariot.

Fallon was the recipient of the oldest humour magazine's Elmer Award for Excellence in Humour.

On Saturday, he was paraded from the Inn at Harvard, through the Harvard Square and to the steps of the magazine's headquarters, Lampoon Castle, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Fallon posted a photograph of him from the parade where he wore sunglasses and wreath on his head.

Earlier that day, he wrote on Instagram: "Today I will be receiving the Elmer Award from the Harvard Lampoon, tomorrow I will not. Please don't tell them - but I'm actually honored. #HarvardLampoon."
