Jimmy Fallon is an icon of entertainment. From Saturday Night Live to Late Night and now the Tonight Show, Fallon has proven himself to be a warm and fun talk show host. He’s had a strong variety of guests and with each guest he interviews, he seems to bring out a side of them that I believe few other talk show hosts can get. That is what makes him so great. Celebrities are just people, so seeing them be themselves in front of a camera instead of putting on an act is much more fun. However, the things Fallon does on his show to get these celebrities to be themselves is what separates him from the other talk show hosts.
1.) He does lip-syncing battles
I don’t know if any of you all have ever watched a Jimmy Fallon Lip-Syncing battle, but they are hilarious. The guests have fun participating, Fallon participates (and always loses), and the results will have you cracking up.

2.) He does challenges.
I remember he played Egg-Roulette with Bradley Cooper and it was a very intense five-minute game they played. It kept the audience and the participants on their toes, and it was entertaining watching them smack eggs on their head.

3.) He and Justin Timberlake have chemistry like no other.
There are just some people who you meet and you know that the two of you are meant to be best friends. You two just click so well that everyone in the world knows it. This is Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake. The two of them together is a riot and they make audiences laugh like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Together they’ve done History of Rap performances, camping skits and #hastag performances. They. Are. Hilarious.

4.) He performs "Ew."
Something about seeing Jimmy in a blonde wig and dress faking a 13-year-old girl’s voice makes for an entertaining performance. His skit “Ew” has been done several times with various celebrities, and they’re fun.

5.) He has weekly iconic things that make up his show.
For example, he does Tonight Show hashtags where he sends out a weekly hashtag on twitter and people submit stories regarding the hashtag. He does thank you notes. Every Friday Fallon catches up on some hilarious thank you notes, and I don’t know what is funnier, the actual thank you note or the music he plays to accompany them.
These are only five of the cool things Jimmy Fallon does to keep his audiences entertained. There are many more different challenges, skits, and ideas that he comes up with for his show that only make them better and better. If you haven’t watched a show or skit or anything with Jimmy Fallon, check it out because he is hilariously entertaining.
