At the beginning of the article, "singer" and "musician" are separate. Is that normal in English that "singers" are not considered "musicians"? From a musician's point of view, I say it's more logical to say "singer and instrumental musician"... ZappoTheGentleman (talk) 17:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
You forgot to mention the part where Jimmy Fallon is a really unfunny person —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.55.166.244 (talk) 06:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
he would not have a shot in SNL, commercials, hosting gigs for mtv vmas, movies and tv show if he is unfunny...if you're a hater what brought you here...? if i know, you're a closet Fallon fan...haha! Jimmy Fallon rocks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.96.38.195 (talk) 09:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I think that Jimmy Fallon is ok. I rarely watch the show, but I have no reason to not like him. Thank you for your time. --63.3.2.130 (talk) 05:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Nothing about his disc jockey character? I thought that was his funniest bit. He would talk in the traditional radio voice and play different characters on his show. He would say "And we're baaaack!!!" I think it was called Jimmy v and the morning fuzz, or something like that. Then he had Ben Affleck do the skit with him and Affleck imitated Fallon. Pretty funny stuff.
Where is your source for "numerous red sox fans were angry..." about Fallon and Barrymore running on the field filming their movie?? Every Red Sox fan I know LOVES Fever Pitch.
Can someone add a better picture of Fallon? Both of these look like he's drunk... or is he always drunk??
I don't think he looks drunk, that's just how he looks a lot of the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.237.15 (talk) 06:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, he looks as if he's stoned. Not good for his public image, I'd assume. 98.15.203.22 (talk) 01:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

There is no info on history before SNL. Fallon bio
did he leave voluntarily? i heard some rumors that he was fired for constantly cracking up. if we had a reliable source, it would be worth adding to his bio. Themindset 06:51, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
He quit voluntarily.
Someone is leaving stupid questions [in these]. These deserve in the discussion section, NOT in the article itself. E.g. "Jimmy Fallons line was cut in Father's Day [What is/Was Father's day?]" Now, I'd like to know what Father's day is, but don't ask a question in the article. I'm gonna try to take some out, but if I leave some, pleaes take the rest out.
Would someone please add a contents table?
-Thanks. =D
I could have swarn there was already a photo of him up! Nevertheless, I'll be putting it up on my site, hope no one minds. And if anyone knows who wrote "Vanessa" on the links, I'd like to know. I'm a bit uncomfortable having my name displayed like that.
Am I mistaken or is the line that states, "...Fallon has many fansites devoted to him, mostly made by "adoring middle aged men" vandilism? It used to say "adoring teenaged girls". I'll be changing that and watching the page.
Well okay. I guess that section, and others, are missing altogether.
I'm not sure why 68.175.116.169 deleted the section on Fallon's post'SNL career. It seems relevant to his professional backgound, and it didn't seem overly fan-gushy. So I put it back in.

He quit voluntarily.
Chris Rock is stated as having been impersonated twice: once in "former snl members" and once on his own.
Removed stray "Jimmy Fallon is a douche" line from the post-SNL section. I cited that though!!!! Tracey Morgan basically says it in citation no. 2!!!!
This article seems to be a frequent "sneaky vandal" target, and I have a terribly old computer that dislikes loading pages, so I'll just ask rather than find out when a particular line was added. The SNL section says something about People magazine's "14 year old editor in chief". I can't find anything even remotely related to that, and even if I could, I don't see how it is relevant on a bio. Is that line vandalism that stuck somehow? *Vendetta* (whois talk edits) 08:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
As a source for the rumor that Tracy Morgan found Fallon's behavior offensive, The New York Post is cited which is anything but a credible source. Morgan criticizes this article as being malicious and sensational in his interview with the A.V. Club (http://www.avclub.com/articles/tracy-morgan,14157/). Any objections to deleting this statement? 65.30.177.186 (talk) 19:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I seriously object to the title of this section, no one who who has seen Jimmy Fallon in one of these roles would consider his acting passable or even moderately funny -- BUT, I digress, my problem is with the use of the term "highlights"; can we switch the title of this section please? Maybe we could call it "Post SNL work", or something like that.
Okay, I'll change it to "Other Work" in a day or two unless someone objects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.97.108 (talk) 22:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Why won't it let me add influences. Because I would add Adam Sandler, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and David Letterman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.5.113.175 (talk) 02:20, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Isn't he?
Or Bi-sexual. Going by sourced statements, he definitely does come across as gay, but is a career obsessed person so he did marry [a woman]. 107.222.205.242 (talk)

There is a paragraph about Fallon's mole removal on the Dr. Oz Show in the Personal Life section of this article. Its well-cited, but I don't see how it falls into the category of his personal life. The fact that he has a mole is the only personal part of that segment and that's not particularly notable. Any objections to the removal of that bit?Comatmebro ~Come at me~ 22:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
cause I suspect that 50% of them could fit the line "Fallon was such a fan of Saturday Night Live that he made a weekly event of watching it in his dormitory during college." Which isn't sourced and sounds like something only he would know. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 13:23, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Jimmy and Nancy have one child, Winnie Rose Fallon, born in July 2013. All media reports are carful to say that they "welcomed winnie into their family" and not to say that Nancy gave birth. 67.182.232.130 (talk) 14:19, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
I know there are some references out there to support that (and references that don't list "Jr."), but I think a definitive source is needed here, like a statement from Fallon or a birth certificate. His father has a different middle name, which would typically mean that Fallon isn't a "Jr." All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:18, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
I updated the awards by removing the Emmy awards that he wasn't nominated for and expanding the awards he wasn't nominated for his work and added refs to 2014.

New content is appreciated in articles, however, it is imperative that there be evidence not only new content added but for old content to be replaced. What reliable source can you provide that gives evidence he wasn't nominated for awards that have been part of this article's content for quite sometime and has stood as unchallenged? Help me out here with some reliable, verifiable sources to support your changes. I don't want to revert your edits, but I have to admit your edits look somewhat suspicious and not unlike like vandalism due to the fact that you are using at least two different IP addresses. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 05:26, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
In the entry, it desscribes the movies "Taxi" and "Fever Pitch" as unsuccessful which is incorrect because they both grossed more money than their respective budgets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.222.220 (talk) 01:27, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't see his political persuasion as a notable part of his life. He is now independent anyways. Govindaharihari (talk) 03:19, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
His eyes look very Asian. There should be some Vietnamese people in his bloodline. The article says, his father fought in Vietnam, so maybe "Jimmy Fallon"'s mother was a Vietnamese? All this talk of European ancestry just doesn't solve the equation. 79.196.232.210 (talk) 06:32, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
TropicAces removed a quote from David Sims at the Atlantic calling the interview an "embarrassment" because it's "a clearly biased hyperbole." I'm not quite sure what that means, are you saying Sims is biased against Fallon? In any event, media criticism in a reliable source is clearly relevant to the article so I've re-added the sentence with the citation. FuriouslySerene (talk) 15:35, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
I don't know why my edits keep getting rejected. I've explained my edits. This is what I've done: Reordered genres, added subjects, spaced Himself/Host to Himself / Host, he appeared in 4 episodes of 30 Rock, and added two shows. Removed Lip Sync Battle because it's not an acting or hosting role. That's all I've done. 2600:387:8:F:0:0:0:C3 (talk) 00:56, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
Since 1998 when he was on Saturday Night Live until the current time (he hosts The Tonight Show) Fallon is known primarily for television. I see no reason IP should have rearranged the items in the infobox other than he/she likes it that way. Another editor has asked for sources, so IP should address that problem as well. Sundayclose (talk) 02:19, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
You were the one causing this mess, I made the edits to update the filmography and infobox that was cleared for viewers. 207.233.88.251 (talk) 21:23, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Jimmy's membership in the Ragtime Gals and their appearances seems like they deserve a mention. What would be the best way to incorporate a mention into this article? I am open to suggestions.

All three of those are ethnically Germanic. And yet he has brown skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. These are not phenotypic expressions of any of those sub ethnic groups, or the Germanic people. I suspect something is missing from his early life / ancestry section, as no Irish/German/Norwegians anywhere on Earth look like Jimmy. 121.210.33.50 (talk) 05:38, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
very good point - but in Wikipedia there is no awareness of ethnic background, but nationality is the goal. I agree with you. he might be of a minority in those countries?
@JDDJS and Binksternet: as I understand it, we restored the names of Fallon's daughters on the rationale that their names have been publicly released, and since their prominent appearances in his "Tonight Show @ Home" they have become public figures. We commonly release the names of child actors; this is no different. Elizium23 (talk) 03:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Agreed, and added them back into the article. His kids appeared in just about every episode of the at home show. They are basically child entertainers at this point. Absolutely no reason to not include them. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 03:35, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
