Jimmy Fallon begins his fifth season in the cast this fall. In the 2000-01 season he became co-anchor of the shows 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.

In addition, Fallon performs as the Bostonian teen Sully opposite Rachel Dratchs Denise; as condescending Nick Burns, Your Companys Computer Guy, the online collegiate talk show host Jarrett of Jarretts Room and as the too-cool clerk of ultra-high fashion boutique Jeffreys. 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 Pessimists 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 OBrien, Late Show with David Letterman, The Rosie ODonnell 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 Carolines Comedy Club in New York, to name a few. Fallon lives in New York City. His birthday is September 19.
