Jimmy Fallon drives F-150 Lightning, Bronco Raptor, Mustang Shelby - Detroit Free Press

Comedian Jimmy Fallon stopped by the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn on Friday afternoon to hang out with Ford CEO Jim Farley and factory workers who build the all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck, the Free Press has learned.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" host spent nearly an hour touring the new factory with Farley and plant manager Corey Williams and Fallon Gates, a manufacturing communications specialist who guides tours on-site.

"I am not sure who enjoyed the visit more, the employees at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center or Jimmy Fallon," said Fallon Gates, who had her own very funny moment introducing herself to the famous visitor.

Jimmy Fallon was making a few stops in metro Detroit; this was just one, Ford said.

The lighthearted get-together between Farley and Fallon comes a week after Ford released second quarter adjusted earnings of $3.7 billion, which exceeded industry expectations.
