Chances are, if you know me well, you know two things:
1. My insatiable love for jalapeño cream cheese
and
2. My insatiable love for Jimmy Fallon.
An SNL alum and current late-night-television host, Fallon has become a giantinspiration for me as a comedian and person. He's an incredible example of how to not let the industry ruin you and how to simply be funny. I am so honored to carry a mix of Jimmy Fallon's and Tina Fey's name - Feyllon - for my college's theatre honor society. In honor of Jimmy, I've decided to find the 10 times where Jimmy Fallon absolutely slayed late night TV.
1. Drink-o
A game on his current hosting gig, "The Tonight Show," Fallon introduced a game that is a cross between beer-pong and plinko...you get the idea.
2. Being completely honest about his finger injury...
I think the video speaks for itself...
3. ...and his hand injury.
Oh, Jimmy.
4. Pup-Quiz
Another popular game on "The Tonight Show," Fallon literally gets adorable golden retriever puppies, two reclining chairs, and trivia for one adorable game.
5. Covers with The Roots
One of the greatest hip-hop bands of all time, the Roots are the in-house Tonight Show band. Together, the Roots and Jimmy do lots of covers of hit songs...with children's toys.
6. The Barber-Shop Quartet ("Ragtime Gals")
From "Ignition" to "Talk Dirty To Me," these guys have done just about everything.
7. Game of Desks
This parody of hit HBO show "Game of Throne's" just about destroyed the "late-night-television" game.
8. "Ew!"
Based off of a fan's reaction to a bit on the show, Jimmy's famous skit-series "Ew!" features many notable actors Zac Efron and even the First Lady, Michele Obama.
9. Musical Impressions
If you close your eyes you may freak out by how similar they sound.
10. Lip Sync Battles
The King of Lip Sync Battles, Fallon and Emma Stone's head-to-head sing (sort of) off went viral. Check it out!
By the small chance that Jimmy Fallon would ever read this, thank you for all the laughs you've brought to me and millions of others!
