Jimmy's Bio
Yes, I have it memorized
Jimmy Fallon begins his fourth season in the cast this fall. In the 2000-01 season he became co-anchor of the show’s acclaimed “Weekend Update” segment opposite SNL head writer Tina Fey.

During his time on the show, Jimmy has performed memorable impressions including Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, John Lennon, and Howard Stern. His skills at mimicry venture into the musical with impressions of Alanis Morissette, Eminem, Blink 182 and Counting Crows. In addition, Fallon performs as the Bostonian teen “Sully” opposite Rachel Dratch’s “Denise”; as condescending “Nick Burns, Your Company’s Computer Guy,” the online collegiate talk show host Jarrett of “Jarrett’s Room” and as the too-cool clerk of ultra-high fashion boutique Jeffrey’s.

He was seen last year in the Academy Award-winning Cameron Crowe feature “Almost Famous,” and can also be seen in the Tom Hanks directed HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers.”

In 1999, he released a book: “I Hate This Place: The Pessimist’s Guide To Life,” which he co-wrote with his sister Gloria.

Other television appearances include hosting the 2001 MTV Movie Awards, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and

“The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

Born in Brooklyn and raised in Upstate NY, Fallon began his comedy career at 17 when he took the stage at a local club and won a “Best Impressionist” contest. He has performed stand-up, characters and impressions across the country with regular appearances at the Improv in Los Angeles and Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York, to name a few.

Fallon lives in New York City. His birthday is September 19
