History Creator / JimmyFallon

His popularity on the show has led to him appearing in several forms of spin-off material; most notably receiving his own ride at [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal Studios Florida]], called ''Ride/RaceThroughNewYorkStarringJimmyFallon'', which opened in 2017. He also serves as the current narrator for the tram-based ''Studio Tour'' at Universal Studios Hollywood.

James Thomas Fallon (born September 19, 1974) is a charmingly boyish actor, comedian, and talk show host born September 19, 1974. Best known for his work on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', where he gained success at a young age but also garnered criticism for his shameless mugging and [[{{Corpsing}} cracking up on-camera]] during sketches (particularly those where he's partnered with Horatio Sanz), a fact that ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' pointed out on the episode "Don't Make Me Over" (who also [[HilariousInHindsight predicted that Fallon would be one of many former SNL cast members to come back and host an episode]]). His largest success on the show was as the co-anchor of "[[NewsParody Weekend Update]]" with Creator/TinaFey which showcased his strengths as a comedian. When Fallon left ''SNL'' at the end of the 2003-2004 season, he attempted a movie career, which [[EpicFail did not go well]].

->''"When I was a kid, you would tune in to'' Series/TheTonightShow ''before you went to sleep. Creator/JohnnyCarson. A big treat. I know it's a privilege of mine to be able to be in people's homes. So I hope I make everyone proud, including my parents, and do a good job in this."''

This led to him being chosen as Leno's true successor to ''Series/TheTonightShow'' in 2013. With the show (long based in Los Angeles) relocated to Fallon's stomping grounds at 30 Rockefeller Center, the 2014 transition has been a successful one as many of the ''Late Night'' recurring bits, house band The Roots, and sidekick Steve Higgins have been introduced to a wider audience.

After a string of film flops, ''[=SNL=]'' exec producer Lorne Michaels signed Fallon to a holding deal with Creator/{{NBC}} in 2007, and in 2009, he replaced Creator/ConanOBrien as the host of ''Series/LateNight''. Despite lukewarm early reviews, Fallon and his staff succeeded in turning the show into one of the most buzzed-about shows in the late night pantheon, due in part to their upbeat, optimistic approach to comedy and their use of extravagant pre-taped features, such as parodies of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' ("6-Bee"), ''Series/{{Lost}}'' ("Late"), ''Real Housewives'' ("The Real Housewives of Late Night"), ''Series/TrueBlood'' ("Suckers"), ''Series/BreakingBad'' ("Joking Bad") and ''JerseyShore'' ("Jersey Floor").

* ShoutOut: He likes to have guests play ''Series/{{Password}}'', with a rather authentic re-creation of the set. He especially likes to play it with Creator/BettyWhite, whose late husband's claim to fame was hosting the show (White was also quite a formidable player on "Password").

* InTheStyleOf: Does a ''lot'' of covers of pop songs in different genres- for example, he did "Whip My Hair" InTheStyleOf NeilYoung, and the ReadingRainbow theme InTheStyleOf TheDoors.

* PromotedFanboy: He's an avid gamer, idolized John Belushi growing up, and skipped parties in college to watch ''[=SNL=]''. Even now, you can often tell how genuinely excited he is to be interviewing people like [[PaulMcCartney Paul [=McCartney=]]] on his own show.
** So much a gamer that he would have game developers as guests on ''Late Night'' to premiere debuting games or trailers.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Fallon was polarizing among his ''SNL'' castmates due to his frequent corpsing, which in heavy doses makes a performer look like he or she is calling attention to themselves rather than the material. Tracy Morgan in particular was very vocal in his disdain for Fallon's habit, and Fallon himself realized the problem when he hosted ''SNL'' during the 37th season.

** On ''Main/LateNight'' he sometimes had a guest vocalist sing one of their songs while his Roots Band accompanies on kindergarten classroom instruments. This has carried over into ''Main/TheTonightShow'' where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17QQcK4l6Yw Idina Menzel sang "Let It Go"]] from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.
