Walker Scobell Promotes Percy Jackson on Tonight Show Ahead of Season 2 Finale

A playful mic mix-up with a staged sword duel highlighted his late-night debut.

Overview

  • The Percy Jackson lead visited NBC’s The Tonight Show to boost the Disney+ series on the eve of its Season 2 finale on January 21.
  • During the interview, he initially spoke into a prop desk microphone before being redirected to his lapel mic.
  • Scobell later explained the mix-up came from a rehearsal that made him think the desk mic was live, calling the visit a fast, “crazy” night.
  • The segment also featured a lighthearted on-stage sword fight with Jimmy Fallon and brief personal anecdotes.
  • Season 2 adapts Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters, and Season 3 was greenlit in March 2025 with about two months of filming remaining.
