NEW YORK, March 28 (UPI) -- Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon attended the unveiling of five new wax statues in his likeness at Madame Tussauds in New York.

The detailed sculptures will be installed this spring in Madame Tussauds museums in New York, Washington, D.C., Hollywood and San Francisco. His fifth figure will be featured in the newest Madame Tussauds U.S. location in Orlando when it opens May 4.

"We are thrilled to welcome Jimmy Fallon to five of our U.S. Madame Tussauds attractions, including our newest Orlando attraction opening in May this year," said Janine DiGioacchino, divisional director of Midway North America, Merlin Entertainments Group. "Jimmy is beloved by fans across the world and we look forward to offering so many of our visitors the opportunity to engage with such an entertainment icon."

"I'm honestly floored! These artists did an amazing job," added Fallon. "I guess I'll have to stop with the plastic surgery for at least a few years so these figures stay relevant."

Fallon worked closely with the Madame Tussauds team who spent hours sitting with the star taking over 250 measurements, identifying exact eye color, and detailing each strand of hair.
