‘Tonight Show’ host Fallon matches Gaithersburg school’s egg roulette fundraiser

WASHINGTON — A Montgomery County, Maryland, school caught the attention of late night television with its “egg-stremely” messy fundraiser.

Fields Road Elementary School in Gaithersburg held a Read-a-Thon to help the school purchase standing desks, blue tooth speakers and more in support of its “Move More” theme.

To reach the goal of $13,000, principal Erica Williams and assistant principal Kristi Ricca engaged in the “Egg Russian Roulette” challenge, a segment frequently featured in “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”

The game consists of having a certain number of eggs, one of which is raw, and the rest cooked. The players hit themselves on the head with the eggs at random, until one person gets egged.
