About Jimmy Fallon
James Thomas Fallon (born September 19, 1974) is an American comedian, television host, actor, singer, writer, and producer, best known for his work in television. He grew up with a love of comedy and music, moving to Los Angeles when he turned 21 to pursue stand-up comedy. He joined the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live as a cast member in 1998, and during his six years on SNL he co-hosted the program's Weekend Update segment.
He left the show in 2004 to star in films such as Taxi (2004) and Fever Pitch (2005). After his film career, Fallon returned to television as the host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC in 2009, and in 2014 he left that show to become the sixth permanent host of The Tonight Show.

Fallon was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York City, and developed an obsession with Saturday Night Live as a teenager. He dropped out of the College of Saint Rose in 1995 to move to Los Angeles and pursue comedy full-time, often performing stand-up at the Improv for $7.50 per set and joining the Groundlings improv troupe. He auditioned for SNL in 1997 but was unsuccessful, then landed a second audition at the age of 23 where he performed a "celebrity walk-a-thon" with impressions of Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Bill Cosby, and Adam Sandler.
