Bromancing with the Tonight Show Host, Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is exactly like you see him on TV or online. After two seconds, he’s a buddy, and in a minute, the jokes are rolling. We’re usually the ones working to keep celebrities jovial during a shoot. With Fallon, he’s making the jokes.

Being host of the Tonight Show is one of the most prestigious jobs in show business in America, with an equal amount of pressure. But that hasn’t changed the comedian. He’s still the same as when he started out on Saturday Night Live at the age of 23. It’s not possible to guess he’s 41 – neither physically nor in his personality.

Born in New York, Fallon attended a Catholic school and even considered becoming a priest. He ended up as a standup comic in Los Angeles at the age of 21, right after college. Two years in, he auditioned for Saturday Night Live and got that gig. After a short attempt in film, Jimmy succeeded Conan O’Brian hosting the Late Night show on NBC. He evolved the show, with a focus on musical sketches and the contribution of his great house band, The Roots. Then he took over [Jay] Leno in 2014, and has held on to top ranking among the late night shows since.
