Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is best known to television fans for his work on NBC's seminal late night series Saturday Night Live. Since becoming a regular cast member in 1998, Fallon has become an audience favorite for his dead-on impressions and his quick wit as the host of Weekend Update newscasts. Fallon left the show after the 2003-2004 season.

His television work includes a featured role in the Emmy-winning miniseries Band of Brothers.

Fallon, who started out as a stand-up comedian, was nominated for a 2003 Grammy award for Best Spoken Comedy Album for his record The Bathroom Wall. He has also enjoyed successful stints as the host of the 2001 MTV Movie Awards and the 2002 Video Music Awards. In addition, Fallon (and his sister Gloria) co-wrote the book I Hate This Place: The Pessimist's, Guide to Life, which was recently re-released by Warner Books.
