early life
Jimmy Fallon was born on September 19, 1974 in the Bay Ridge community of Brooklyn, New York. Fallon attended the Roman Catholic school St. Mary of the Snow. He was the school’s altar boy and was considered a priest for a time. When Fallon started getting more exposure to comedy by listening to Dr. Demento’s show on the radio, his religious ambitions went beyond his religious ambitions. Like many teenagers, Fallon was hooked on Saturday Night Live. He and his sister performed sketches from the show for their parents and friends. At Saugerties High School, he performed most of his stage plays during his four years of high school. He graduated from Saugerties High School in 1992. Fallon attended Saint Rose College in Albany, New York. On weekends, he performs stand-up comedy. He left college a semester before graduating in 1995 and moved to Los Angeles at age 21 to pursue a full-time comedy career.
Profession
In Los Angeles, Jimmy joined the improv band The Groundlings and began perfecting his stand-up performances. He often does stand-up performances at legendary improv shows, for which he’s paid $7.50 per show, and that doesn’t even include parking for the improv show.
Fallon first auditioned for “Saturday Night Live” in 1997, but was unsuccessful. Fallon had his second audition for SNL at the age of 23. SNL auditions are notoriously intimidating and difficult. During the audition, many told him that creator Lorne Michaels almost never smiled during the audition. Fallon came on stage and did a great job. He performed a “celebrity walking marathon” skit with the impression of well-known comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock. Michaels smiled. He was hired as an actor for the 1998-1999 season. Fallon became the show’s most distinctive impressionist painter.

real estate
Jimmy’s first real estate purchase in New York City was an $850,000 one-bedroom condo in 2002. He bought the apartment at the urging of SNL producer Lorne Michaels.
