Lawyers for Jimmy Fallon, star of NBC’s long-running comedy and variety series “The Tonight Show,” have asked that the late-night host be excused from testifying in a Yuga Labs trademark dispute.
In a Monday court filing, Fallon’s lawyers requested that a subpoena requiring the comedian to testify in connection with the Yuga Labs Inc. v. Ripps et al. case be “quashed,” or canceled.
Yuga Labs, the creator of the highly successful NFT collection Bored Ape Yacht Club , is suing Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen for issuing a “copycat” NFT collection that resulted in “While Fallon “acquired” a BAYC NFT and talked about the collection on his show, he has nothing to do with the Yuga Labs and Ripps case, his lawyers allege in the petition.
Fallon's lawyers said the television star “has no connection” to the dispute, is “not a party to the Ripps Litigation and has never met or interacted with Ripps and Cahen.” Additionally, “The filing also stated that Fallon is, along with other celebrities, a defendant in a separate “securities litigation” involving Yuga Labs.that alleges they worked with payment provider MoonPay to misleadingly promote Yuga Labs'"financial products.
