Jimmy Fallon Will Never Make Fun of You
When Jimmy Fallon landed a spot on Saturday Night Live in 1998, he told executive producer and comedy kingmaker Lorne Michaels, "I'm going to make you proud." Six years later, Fallon departed as a audience favorite, the show's go-to impressions guy, and the co-host (with Tina Fey) of SNL's "news" unit,\xa0Weekend Update. But he\xa0became famous\xa0without\xa0"working blue," and has always wanted everybody to be in on the joke. It's a trait that makes him a perfect television personality. Now,\xa0he occupies the most coveted seat in the business, as the host of The Tonight Show. He tells Here's The Thing host Alec Baldwin that\xa0he got his start in Saugerties, New York, practicing\xa0the stuff that every comic needs in their toolkit: impressions, musical numbers, and...a troll routine.\xa0
