James Thomas Fallon (born September 19, 1974 in
Brooklyn, New York) is an Irish-American comedian,
actor and musician who is best known for his work
on Saturday Night Live.

Fallon was raised in Saugerties (town), New
York|Saugerties, New York with his one year older
sister Gloria and his parents, Jim and Gloria.
Fallon attended St. Mary of the Snow, a Catholic,
parochial school, and Saugerties High School. He
graduated in 1992, and attended the College of
Saint Rose in Albany, New York. Fallon majored in
History, dropping out 15 credits shy of a degree.

From 2000 until his departure from the show in
2004, Fallon co-anchored Saturday Night Live's
"Weekend Update (sketch)|Weekend Update" segment
with Tina Fey.  He was also an Impressionist

famous characters he had include Joey Mack, Nick

female half being played by Rachel Dratch), one of
the Bloder Brothers (the other half being Chris
Parnell), and Jarrett from "Jarrett's Room." 
While hosting SNL in an episode of Family Guy,
Jimmy Fallon took Meg Griffin's virginity: she was
unaware that they were on camera until,
post-coital, Fallon shouted "Live from New York,
it's Saturday Night!"  Although an audience
favorite, Fallon had a tendency to lose character
and start laughing in the middle of sketches.

== Beyond SNL ==
Before Saturday Night Live, Jimmy played in The
Scheme originally entitled The Entrepreneurs.  His
SNL career has led to roles in  Taxi (2004
movie)|Taxi, Anything Else, Band of Brothers,
Almost Famous, and Fever Pitch.

In 2002, Fallon released the comedy album The
Bathroom Wall.

Fallon co-hosted the 2001 MTV Movie Awards with
Kirsten Dunst and hosted MTV Video Music Awards
alone the next year. He also hosted the 2005 MTV
Movie Awards.

Following the Boston Red Sox's 2004 World
Series|World Series clinching game over the St.
Louis Cardinals in 2004, Fallon ran onto the field
at Busch Stadium with Drew Barrymore to film a
scene for their new movie Fever Pitch (2005
movie)|Fever Pitch released in theaters April
2005. This angered some Red Sox fans, who felt
that their moment in the sun had been cheapened by
Fallon, perceived by many as a mercenary
interloper. Others, however were excited to see a
movie about their World Champion Red Sox.

Fallon has also been the subject of much ribbing
by Fox cartoon shows. In addition to Family Guy,
on an episode of the Simpsons when Bart was on the
computer, Homer asked him what he was doing. Bart
said he was reading something funny. Homer then
said "If you say Jimmy Fallon I'll know you're
lying!"
