Jimmy Fallon

And here's the New York City street. I walked on not too long ago being kind of afraid and intimidated. Now I'm walking and people are going, Jimmy, you know, and, and it's, and it's cool. And you go, yeah. What weren't you prepared for? getting rejection, you know, getting your sketches cut, being told you're not funny, you know, haters.

This is before Twitter and all that stuff, which is a different ballgame that I wasn't ready for either. But you think that it's just going to be, oh, this is cool, everyone will be great. But then just people... Not everyone's rooting for you. Some people want you to fail. People's jobs are to take me down, you know, and to put bad press out and stuff. It's just, that's their job.

And you're just like, ooh, I didn't think it was... I don't live in that world. I don't believe that it's real, but it kind of is real. And you go, oh, people are just going to be mean. And you've got to, again, just toughen up and get through it and just keep your head down and keep being funny and just keep doing things and keep being creative.

And you're just like, ooh, I didn't think it was... I don't live in that world. I don't believe that it's real, but it kind of is real. And you go, oh, people are just going to be mean. And you've got to, again, just toughen up and get through it and just keep your head down and keep being funny and just keep doing things and keep being creative.

And just if you move that out, you realize it's not even real. It's real, but it's noise. And it's just it doesn't affect you. You can only believe in yourself and know that you have to Keep going. And if you keep scoring, that will show. Your work will show. That stuff I wasn't prepared for of dealing with the overcoming that, you know.

Yeah. Overcoming like hating on you or. you know, saying you're not good or something. It's like, you don't think that's going to happen, but it, you know, it will, if you're successful, because someone will be like, uh, You know, someone's not going to like you no matter what.

Yes, it is the absolute worst. I hate it. I want everyone to like me. I can't stand it. I go, oh my gosh, what can I do to make you like me? I think the answer is you can't make everyone like you. You just have to do what you do and do the best at what you do and be happy with yourself.

Yeah, you quit or you change you to be, I guess, what the person who hates you likes. Someone else will just hate that. Yeah, the original people will hate that, that you changed and you go, oh, yeah. And then you'll hit yourself. Yeah. I mean, I love music, but I remember I loved the Beastie Boys growing up. And there's that one line Mike D says, be true to yourself and you will never fall.

And it's like, kind of is the move. Just be true to yourself. Then there's no, everyone can say whatever they want.

And it's like, kind of is the move. Just be true to yourself. Then there's no, everyone can say whatever they want.

No. No, I just kind of lived through it and go like, yeah. I think I'll figure it out. I think fame was fun. It's cooler. It's cooler than cool. It's like, wow, this is what I thought it would be. But it's also, at the end of the day, it's the work and the stuff that you do and the stuff that comes out of it where I'm most proud of, where I'm like, oh, I get to do this.

No. No, I just kind of lived through it and go like, yeah. I think I'll figure it out. I think fame was fun. It's cooler. It's cooler than cool. It's like, wow, this is what I thought it would be.

I think this bit could be fun. I remember we had Mick Jagger on the show And Lorne said, Mick will do a sketch if anyone has an idea. And I go, I could do an idea where I'm the reflection of Mick Jagger in the mirror. And I'm like, what? Don't shut up. And Lorne goes, please don't do that. Absolutely, please don't do that. He goes, it's been done. Mark's brothers have done it.

It's just Lucille Ball. It's been done. Please don't do that. I go, OK. He goes, but go pitch Mick ideas. I go, I don't want to pitch him ideas. You're the producer. I'm nervous. I don't even know Mick Jagger. He's like, just go in and pitch me ideas. So I wrote out like 10 ideas. I'm like, hey, Mick. He's like, he's very nice.
