Jimmy Fallon

They go, we have a surprise for you tonight. And he gets a standing ovation, before he even says anything. Comes out, does his greatest hits. I mean, crushing every joke. The famous ones, the sock missing from the dryer, the whole bit. He did everything, then says goodnight, standing ovation, and he leaves. And the guy goes, okay, who's on next? Mark.

And this guy, Mark, goes, I'm not following that. And he goes, how about you? And there's two other guys there, like Daryl. And he goes, I'm not following that. He's like, who's Jimmy Fallon? And he goes, that's me. He goes, yeah, you're up next, kid. I go, oh, my gosh. My first Saturday night, I have to follow the greatest comedian of all. I mean, he was the hottest comedian.

You do your research. Unless you just carry that around. Like that one. So I would have this doll. Oh, my gosh. This is my act. So I would have this, and I'd go, hello, I'm Jimmy Fallon, and welcome to the auditions for Troll Productions Incorporated. We're looking for a star or sponsor for our new line of Troll. I would do, like, a British accent. I don't know why.

I thought that was cool for me at the time. Probably sounds terrible to you. And I don't mean to be offensive. I go, we're looking for a star or celebrity to sponsor our new line of Troll dolls for our new line of commercials. First up, John Travolta.

And it worked. And I followed Jerry Seifel. And I was like, and that was cool. And then I went down the list and I finished my act and I pulled out a guitar and I played guitar with the troll doll. And that was my act for years.

I remember my grandfather and my parents being like, hey, don't be too full of yourself. They didn't like kids that were too full of themselves or cocky. I was pretty, but I was confident.

I ended up doing that. I replaced David Letterman.

Yeah, Saturday Night Live was my aim. I wanted to be a cast member on Saturday Night Live, which I ended up doing. But then Saturday Night Live is what got me Late Night, you know, which is Letterman's show. And then Late Night got me The Tonight Show.

I remember just being, I don't know what it is. I wasn't that well-read or anything like that, but I just knew that what I wanted to do I think from around 12 or 13. And maybe it's because people said I was good at it or I was making people laugh, you know. So I think when my peers and my friends said, like, you should do this.

Like, I think you're going to be famous one day or I think you're going to be a comedian. You know, I think you start believing it and you're like, oh, maybe I am good at this. Like, I don't even remember watching Late Night or David Letterman around that time. I knew Siren Live, and I probably did watch Letterman and Johnny Carson, the Tonight Show.
