This treat was a slam dunk.<\/p>\n
Jalen Brunson surprised the over 100 fans camping out in hopes of seeing him host \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d with famous New York City cookies. <\/p>\n
Manhattan resident Jordana Judson braved the rain outside NBC\u2019s Midtown studios Friday night in order to secure a spot inside the \u201cSNL\u201d studio to watch the New York Knicks champion host for the very first time Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Judson, a social content creator, was there for an hour when NBC pages came out holding boxes of chocolate chip cookies from the popular and pricey Manhattan brand Levain Bakery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were like, \u2018Jalen Brunson<\/a> wanted to drop off some cookies for you guys from Levain while he\u2019s rehearsing,’\u201d she told The Post.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really, really nice. And I do believe that it actually came from him and his team and they were generous because I\u2019m sure when he hears that people are sitting on the sidewalk, even with potential tickets, that\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n The point god made sure that each fan was handed one cookie \u2014 that cost $5.75 at Levain, which has nine locations across the Big Apple.<\/p>\n \u201cThey dropped it off to everyone starting with number one all the way up to \u2026 it went beyond 100,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re actually really good. I still have part of mine that I could not finish.\u201d<\/p>\n Jalen Brunson sent Levain cookies to the over 100 fans camping out to see him host \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d Jordana Judson<\/p>\n Judson\u2019s friend, Alan Ormaza, posted a video of their experience on Instagram.<\/p>\n Others in line commented on the significance of receiving the cookie from the new king of New York.<\/p>\n \u201cI still have my cookie,\u201d one said. \u201cI will give it to my children, and then to their children.\u201d<\/p>\n NBC pages dispersed the sweet treats to fans. Jordana Judson<\/p>\n Judson, a frequent \u201cSNL\u201d attendee, explained that hopefuls must wait in line from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. the night before the show\u2019s taping in order to receive a number, which may or may not get them into the studio for Saturday night.<\/p>\n She said staff typically hand out treats for them while they wait, especially in frigid temperatures. <\/p>\n \u201cThe NBC pages have dropped off like hot chocolate and soup for us when it\u2019s cold,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I saw Harry Styles, they said, \u2018Harry wanted to drop off pizza <\/a>for you all.\u2019 I\u2019ve never been there where they\u2019ve done cookies. It\u2019s always like pizza and I\u2019ve gotten like my own box of pizza.\u201c<\/p>\n Brunson is the fifth NBA player to host \u201cSNL.\u201d NBC via AP<\/p>\n On Friday night, she was given a number, and although she is still not guaranteed a spot in the studio for Saturday\u2019s taping, she\u2019s hopeful she\u2019ll make the cut.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve never let in less than like 50, 60 people,\u201d said Judson, who has to report back to NBC at 9:45 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wait in the NBC store, in the stairwell, we work our way up, and then, honestly, you just await your fate. The page will wait to get a text to see how many seats are left in the room because there\u2019s a lot of guests. I\u2019m sure the whole Knicks<\/a> team could show up tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This treat was a slam dunk.
