He was the host of the late-night talk show ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' from 2009 to 2014 and became the anchor of ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon]]'' following his departure from ''Late Night''.

Fallon grew up with a love of comedy and music, moving to [[Los Angeles]] when he turned 21 to pursue stand-up comedy. He joined ''Saturday Night Live'' as a cast member in 1998, fulfilling a lifelong dream. During his six years on ''SNL'', Fallon co-hosted the program's ''[[Weekend Update]]'' segment. He left the show in 2004 to star in films such as ''[[Taxi (2004 film)|Taxi]]'' (2004) and ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]'' (2005).

Following his film career, Fallon returned to television as the host of ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'' on NBC in 2009, where he became known for his emphasis on music and video games. He moved from that show to become the sixth permanent host of ''The Tonight Show'' in 2014.

His one line in the 1997 film ''[[Fathers' Day (1997 film)|Father's Day]]'' was cut, but he can still be seen in the background. In 1998, Fallon appeared briefly on the show ''[[Spin City]]'' in the second season as a man selling photographs.<ref name="Fame10Fallon">{{cite news|last1=Sheldon|first1=James|title=10 Things You Didn't Know About Jimmy Fallon|url=https://www.fame10.com/entertainment/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-jimmy-fallon/|access-date=April 2, 2018|work=Fame10|date=November 2, 2015}}</ref>

Fallon landed his second audition at the age of 23. At the "notoriously difficult audition,"<ref name="VF1"/> he was told by several people that creator [[Lorne Michaels]] almost never laughed during auditions.

Sanz has described himself and Fallon as "super-functioning alcoholics", and said, "They say that kind of goes hand-in-hand with ''SNL'', some kind of substance-abuse issues, because it's so stressful you easily find yourself blowing off steam a lot."<ref name="vul2014"/> On one occasion, they spent a Friday night watching [[The Strokes]] perform a midnight show, staying up drinking until the early morning, despite having to do ''SNL'' that night.<ref name="39vul">{{cite news|url=https://www.vulture.com/2014/02/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-host-hang-out-things-you-learn.html|title=39 Things You Learn About Jimmy Fallon by Hanging Out With Him|author= Jada Yuan|date=February 18, 2014|website=[[Vulture (blog)|Vulture]]|publisher=[[New York (magazine)|New York]]|access-date=May 5, 2015}}</ref> "We actually took what we thought being on ''SNL'' was, what people think is awesome about it, and we made it happen," said Sanz,<ref name="39vul"/> who said that he and Fallon got in more than a few bar fights.<ref name="vul2014"/>

===Film career (2004–2008)===
[[File:Jimmy Fallon (cropped).jpg|left|thumb|Fallon in 2007]]
Fallon began to pursue a film career in 2004. He had spurned most major roles due to lack of time and disinterest in the dozens of scripts he read.<ref name="usa04"/> He signed on for his first lead role in ''[[Taxi (2004 film)|Taxi]]'', a remake of a French film, after co-star [[Queen Latifah]] became attached to the project. He was also attracted to the film's [[action comedy film|action comedy]] tone, seeing comparisons with ''SNL'' alumnus [[Eddie Murphy]]'s first big film, ''[[48 Hrs.]]'' (1982).<ref name="IGN">{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/10/07/interview-jimmy-fallon |title=Interview: Jimmy Fallon|author=Steve Head|date=October 7, 2004|website=[[IGN]] |access-date=May 5, 2015}}</ref>

In the fall of 2003, he split his time between shooting the film in Los Angeles and returning to New York City for ''SNL''.<ref name="usa04"/> With his contract ending, his sixth season at ''SNL'' was his last; Fallon signed off at the conclusion of the show's [[Saturday Night Live (season 29)|twenty-ninth season]] in May 2004.<ref name="people1">{{cite news |author=Stephen M.

Before leaving ''SNL'', Michaels had told Fallon that he would be a good fit to take over NBC's ''[[Late Night (NBC)|Late Night]]'' franchise when then-host [[Conan O'Brien]] left for ''[[The Tonight Show]]''.

''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' premiered in March 2009 to mixed reviews. Producer Michael Shoemaker felt that the show's style solidified when it used [[Susan Boyle]] as a joke. While other late-night programs had centered on her appearance, Fallon's ''Late Night'' debuted a sketch in which Boyle's emotional performances could "salve any affliction."<ref name="NYM"/> It was this style of humor, that Adam Sternbergh of ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' dubbed "the comedy of unabashed celebration," that led to the program's success.<ref name="NYM"/>

=== Toxic work environment allegations ===
In September 2023, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' published an article about Fallon and ''The Tonight Show'' workplace culture titled "Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'", based on interviews with 16 former and then-active employees. It alleged that Fallon mistreated his staff, acted erratically, was prone to outbursts, and contributed to a toxic workplace culture. According to former employees, Fallon's behavior on a given day seemed to be related to whether he was allegedly hungover from the previous night. The abuse led to many employees referring to the special guests' dressing rooms as the ''crying rooms'' because that is where the employees would go to let out their emotions. [[NBC]] released a statement, defending the program, but they did not address the allegations against Fallon.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Yandoli|first=Krystie Lee|title=Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-toxic-work-environment-crying-rooms-nbc-1234819421/|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=September 7, 2023 |access-date=September 7, 2023}}</ref> The day of the article's publication, he apologized to his staff on a Zoom call, saying: "It's embarrassing and I feel so bad.

===Health problems===
On June 26, 2015, Fallon suffered a [[avulsion injury|ring avulsion injury]] when he tripped over a rug in his home and tried to break his fall by holding onto a countertop, causing his finger to nearly get torn off by his wedding ring. He was taken to the emergency room and then sent to a surgeon who performed [[microsurgery]] on his finger. He spent 10 days in the [[Intensive care unit|ICU]] before going home.
