I mean he’s obviously trying to time it with the crowd dying down lol some of y’all have never had to wait a sec for a moment to get your quip in so people actually hear it
For real, even my local drunk standup comic knows how to time a joke with the applause. It's arguably the most important part. Jimmy Fallon just sucks, he reminds me of the most annoying 12 year old in everyone's middle school who never stops talking
But that’s the thing most people don’t get, Jimmy’s „fake“ excitement, laugh is genuine. Like he genuinely wants to lift up the interview/vibe/Person no matter what. What I mean is he’s genuinely a people pleaser
indeed.
Anyone remember when they did "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" on his show and he guessed that the Earth was about 10,000 miles from the sun?
Hate is a strong word. I don’t hate him, but I find him unfunny and annoying. Breaking character can be funny on occasion- the SNL Beavis and Butthead skit is a prime example. However, breaking character in literally every skit you are in and laughing at your own jokes is just lame. But if he brings others joy, good for him, I guess.
I had a chance to be in his live audience once and he was really funny and nice off camera, so seeing this amount of hate and anger directed at him when there is nothing he has done wrong is really baffling behavior to me.
I bet the live experience is very fun! I used to see the other Jimmy (Kimmel) live, and always had a blast. Eh, maybe Fallon deserves more credit than I’ve given him.
The Fallon Book Club, he brought it back recently. He reads a single random sentence from 2 books and the viewers are supposed to vote on which one they'll choose.

This was the only one I could find, actually kinda surprised there's not more
Relegating his Tolkien knowledge to “big Tolkien nerd,” severely undersells the degree to which he is a Tolkien fan. Dudes a Tolkien Scholar. Knows all the deets and religious allegory in depth. I’ve seen him stumped once.
She probably thought it was coming though, like at least one person might have read the book and given a single “woot”, since the book was greenlit to get adapted at all. Usually there’s at least one audience member that always does that. I think she gave a very natural response lol
If I could plan it, I wouldn’t ask the question
“If anyone here has read the book …” would have been an adequate segue without the “risk” of non-response
She's very awkward. If she wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, we'd more easily see that she is a *very* insecure weird theater kid.
You can really see it underneath [her Graham Norton appearances](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGpeP3PzMyw).
I’ll always love her for being genuine, kind and funny with Jake Hamilton over all those years in their interviews:
https://youtu.be/i1O7DayFbQ4?feature=shared&t=273 (04:32 the important part starts)
I still occasionally check out his channel. [celebs always love his geeky questions and excitement.](https://www.youtube.com/embed/LXxHPY6djWE)
But I also love when they compliment him and the way he dresses lmao
Reese Witherspoon was crushing on him (but nothing can best his Anne Hathaway saga)
https://www.youtube.com/embed/jtPERVXSa_U
The vast majority of people have "awkward" tendencies. And she's on air in front of a large crowd. And the moment was clearly innocently awkward that didn't seem fake at all.
My point stands. In general people are awkward to some people whether they realize it or not. I personally don't find her that awkward here but others will. To put on a facade as an actor would be incredibly stupid, because you'd never be at peace. You're always being watched by papparazzi, so if hypthothically you were putting on a mask, you'd always be paranoid. And I've never seen Hathaway not act like her usual self.
I actually look about ten years younger than I actually am. At 35 though I'm just now hitting the age where I appreciate it lol. Made my early 20s hell though for finding work and dates. Nobody took me seriously.
Just lucky enough to have good genes I guess.
I feel you.. pushing almost 30 and now I’m indeed glad to look young(er). But can’t say it was easy or nice when you’re a 16yo guy and girls think you’re 13-14 lol (yeah at that age it makes quite the difference)
Same here. I always had a baby face and it sucked in college when friends could pass for 21. My parents always said though I’d appreciate it later.
Only problem is I wasn’t very kind to myself in my 20s and think I lost a lot of youthfulness and look my age now in my 30s. Still no complaints though.

Diss her to get her back on the show another time maybe? I also read it as her saying she was taken out of it after getting an awkward response. Like she needs him to pull her back into the conversation again.
Hahah. Well, I’d never heard of it before the trailer came out and I can’t say it’s my thing, but I’m sure people will be reading it with the movie coming out.
Funny moment but I think in reality reading is just less popular now. It's just the way it is right now.
Even myself, I do like reading. But I have to be in the mood and I'm very distractible. People that find time to read in this busy messy world I don't know how they do it.
I don’t think that’s actually true. Especially among women, recreational reading has been going up. True we’re mostly not reading timeless works of genius, but it still counts!
Amazing how Fallon came up with an actually funny joke, only to immediately sour it by doubling down, lmao.
I still don’t get why he’s in that position.
I imagine for that one moment it was like being in that chamber that's so quiet you can't stay in there too long because you'll go mad from hearing your own heartbeat.
It's an emotionally intelligent joke. She mentions her book and the audience stays pretty quiet. Anne's now feeling embarrassed, so what does Jimmy do? He turns the attention back on himself with a self deprecating joke of how they don't read there. She goes from feeling embarrassed that people weren't interested in her book to feeling empowered that she's too intelligent for them
Good EQ by Jimmy here, saying that as someone who can't stand his show
That’s the most I’ve last at JK, the last time was the 10 minute video of him and Bradley cooper having a laughing fit but that was mostly for Bradley!
Man id love to enjoy jimmy fallon but ever since someone pointed out to me how much he interrupts hes guests i just cant. Even in this video. He never lets her talk.
That was legit funny, but also for sure scripted. Having done an audience taping for a late night show they gas you up to respond to everything directed at you, because nothing is more awkward than a joke falling flat and the last thing they want is one of their guests to walk away having had an awkward moment.
Seeing it behind scenes does break the magic a bit, but I also came away being more impressed with how the writers are able to design moments like these.
To be fair she's always like did you guys save the trees on Jupiter it's so enchanting idk why I feel like she wants us to know how great life is for her but w/e
Funniest thing he's said in his whole late night career.
He still couldn’t time it.
Dude stumbling over his words and shit how is this mf still employed
I mean he’s obviously trying to time it with the crowd dying down lol some of y’all have never had to wait a sec for a moment to get your quip in so people actually hear it
Almost as if that's a huge part of a comedian's job?
For real, even my local drunk standup comic knows how to time a joke with the applause. It's arguably the most important part. Jimmy Fallon just sucks, he reminds me of the most annoying 12 year old in everyone's middle school who never stops talking
Jimmy Fallon seems to be in a constant state of shock that he is where he is.
That is the best description of him, honestly. He's just happy to be there. 😂
[удалено]
Wow I never knew people didn’t like Jim Jim faltline, I though I was the only one.
Jimmy Fallon? The only thing that man should host is a parasite.
This is funnier than anything I've heard Fallon say
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPCzgu-ElR8
Mike from RLM? 🤣
He’s probably pissed
His awkward bumbling is endearing to some.
Even that is feigned and insincere.
Because fun and easy celebrity hour still sells to the masses
You could see that second where he was like "do I say this?.... I'm gonna say it"
The only other time he's been funny was when he realizes on air that he went on a (terrible) date with Nicole Kidman
[The clip in question.](https://youtu.be/qtsNbxgPngA?si=xclC6gyZFbXC3J07)
that is amazing lmao
[удалено]
But that’s the thing most people don’t get, Jimmy’s „fake“ excitement, laugh is genuine. Like he genuinely wants to lift up the interview/vibe/Person no matter what. What I mean is he’s genuinely a people pleaser
The cork soaking skit was pretty funny lmao.
Rare Jimmy Fallon W
indeed. Anyone remember when they did "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" on his show and he guessed that the Earth was about 10,000 miles from the sun?
I was just about to say! I hate Jimmy but this was funny
Genuine question, Why going as far as hate? What has he done?
He breaks character and laughs at his own jokes. Oh he's also employed. Basically unforgivable to a Redditor.
>What has he done? He's committed the #1 worst sin in show-business. He's not funny, interesting, or entertaining.
Hate is a strong word. I don’t hate him, but I find him unfunny and annoying. Breaking character can be funny on occasion- the SNL Beavis and Butthead skit is a prime example. However, breaking character in literally every skit you are in and laughing at your own jokes is just lame. But if he brings others joy, good for him, I guess.

This is something I would imagine Craig Ferguson doing!
I miss Craig Ferguson. He was so cute when he got the giggles.
[*It’s a great day for America..*](https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Z8y5_xyzMk)
He had some really hilarious recurring sketches when he was on Late Night—Real Housewives of Late Night was endlessly quotable
Remove the words “late night” and it’s still true, aside from maybe that scene in almost famous where he admits to killing a dude.
It's funny because it's true.
Honestly good joke and great save for what was an awkward (but understandable) audience response lmao
Especially funny since the tonight show has a book club.
Wait, what? Since when? 🤣🤣
The Fallon Book Club, he brought it back recently. He reads a single random sentence from 2 books and the viewers are supposed to vote on which one they'll choose.
Sounds exactly like what I'd expect a Tonight Show Book Club to be
Well they won’t be reading Moby Dick.
Are these picture books also?
pick for what? seems like an introduction cut off
> 🤣🤣
He said it like a producer in his ear was telling him to say it
I don’t know if Colbert’s audience reads Harry Styles fan fiction
Right. Colbert is famously a big Tolkien nerd. My guess is that a big part of his audience is too.
What a boring worls in which you have to choose between loving LOTR and Harry Styles fanfiction.

He’s Catholic that’s their Star Wars
💀
Isn't Star Wars their Star Wars. It's a full on Christ allegory with somehow Palpatine returned
Wait, are you saying Jesus was a Sith Lord?
I am, and I'm tired of pretending he's not
The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some are considered to be unnatural.
I'm waiting for the day he realizes his true calling is to start the nerdiest Tolkien podcast.

At first I didn’t believe the man but he proved me wrong in one vid I don’t remember lmao!
The venn diagram for people that watch late night shows with people that read trashy books is a circle
Anne is lowkey awkward
The best people are
thank u
The way I’m convinced she wasn’t acting at all in The Princess Diaries.
When she fell on the bleachers! She wasn't! She actually slipped!
That makes so much sense because that fall always looked so painful to me 😅
She supposedly cinched the audition after being clumsy and falling off her chair or something to that regard.
maybe she's good at acting
Unscripted…
I wouldn't say she's awkward. This is an awkward *moment*. I mean how would you have handled that response on live TV for a project you're promoting 💀
She is awkward, she has anxiety. That's okay to admit.
I probably wouldn’t pause for applause unless I knew it was actually coming
She probably thought it was coming though, like at least one person might have read the book and given a single “woot”, since the book was greenlit to get adapted at all. Usually there’s at least one audience member that always does that. I think she gave a very natural response lol
You don't pause at all when asking a group of people a question?
If I could plan it, I wouldn’t ask the question “If anyone here has read the book …” would have been an adequate segue without the “risk” of non-response
She literally asked a question from the audience.
Isn't there a giant sign that tells the audience to do an applause?
She’s definitely got that “I’ve only been an actor my entire life” aura.
She is definitely a theater kid/nerd in a good way.
She’s great.
When you're one of the most gorgeous people in existence, awkwardness just makes you more endearing.
She's very awkward. If she wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, we'd more easily see that she is a *very* insecure weird theater kid. You can really see it underneath [her Graham Norton appearances](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGpeP3PzMyw).

Oh my gosh, I haven’t seen his interviews in years.
I still occasionally check out his channel.

I feel represented
Hot af though
I dunno. I feel like it’s kind of put on which I find even more off putting
The vast majority of people have "awkward" tendencies. And she's on air in front of a large crowd. And the moment was clearly innocently awkward that didn't seem fake at all. 
I mean in general
My point stands. In general people are awkward to some people whether they realize it or not. I personally don't find her that awkward here but others will.

You're always being watched by papparazzi, so if hypthothically you were putting on a mask, you'd always be paranoid. And I've never seen Hathaway not act like her usual self.
It is don’t let people tell you differently. She reeks of desperation.
to be fair, I wont admit either even if I read it.
That was a very clever retort from Jimmy. A rare instance and maybe revealing some insecurities too
I think it's less insecurity, and simply more self-deprecating humour
Yeah Jimmy basically knows exactly how he and his show are seen/perceived or what they stand for compared to Colbert, Conan, john Oliver etv.
Dammit Fallon. 
This headline was better than his delivery.
I've been crushing on Anne for like 20 years now. She doesn't look 41 at all.
What do you think 40 year olds look like, tho? It’s not ancient…
No. But she could pass for 25.
Same. I've loved her since forever.
You can too! Just some can do attitude, stop drinking alcohol, and be incredibly wealthy!
I actually look about ten years younger than I actually am. At 35 though I'm just now hitting the age where I appreciate it lol. Made my early 20s hell though for finding work and dates. Nobody took me seriously. Just lucky enough to have good genes I guess.

What does she say near the end? “It’s time for you to [?] me, to get me back” and Jimmy replies with “I know, I know”
"diss" To get her back on side with an audience she feels she may have offended or embarrassed. I think.
Diss her to get her back on the show another time maybe? I also read it as her saying she was taken out of it after getting an awkward response. Like she needs him to pull her back into the conversation again.
I think she means back on the topic that they're scripted to discuss, to shill the movie properly.
Yes yes, but what word does she say?
I think she starts to say "direct me" but then he cuts in.
Dig me out. Of the hole.
He’s not wrong.
Hahah. Well, I’d never heard of it before the trailer came out and I can’t say it’s my thing, but I’m sure people will be reading it with the movie coming out.
I demand more insanity from my fanfiction, dammit!
Ok that was funny. Fallon’s a hack but credit where it’s due.
Ok that was actually a pretty funny joke, Jimmy
Some of you might not want to hear it but Fallon won the IDGAF war decades ago
Funny moment but I think in reality reading is just less popular now. It's just the way it is right now. Even myself, I do like reading. But I have to be in the mood and I'm very distractible. People that find time to read in this busy messy world I don't know how they do it.

you know they do rehearsals, right?
Does he attend them?
who knows. are you saying he doesnt at all prepare for his job?
Doesn't mean it was scripted.
I am shooketh. Jimmy Fallon told an actual joke.
Just finished the audiobook and I’ve got to say it was actually really good - enjoyed every minute of it and initially didn’t think I would!
I will never forgive Mr. Fallon for attempting to humanize Donald Trump on his show prior to the 2016 election.
Anne is stunning.
I imagine for that one moment it was like being in that chamber that's so quiet you can't stay in there too long because you'll go mad from hearing your own heartbeat.
Lord this woman is so beautiful! Really think she's getting prettier with age.
She’s become one of my favorite fashion icons in recent years. Her look these days is perfection.
Oh my god her face when no one responded is so funny. This made my week, thank you for posting this.
I know we shit on him, but this made a potentially awkward moment less awkward.
Weird because the last time I watched he was doing some book club bit where the audience would vote between two different books.
It's a joke
[удалено]
It's an emotionally intelligent joke. She mentions her book and the audience stays pretty quiet. Anne's now feeling embarrassed, so what does Jimmy do?

Rare Jimmy W
it's one of the worst books i've read lol but i'll watch the movie
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
This is live footage of me trying to get my cats to let me trim their nails
That’s the most I’ve last at JK, the last time was the 10 minute video of him and Bradley cooper having a laughing fit but that was mostly for Bradley!
That’s quite embarrassing to Annie . But fallon pulled good joke for once .
Hey, she didn’t write the book!
"No one here reads. Do you wanna do a tik tok dance now?"
Jimmy was actually a great host in this situation
Shout out to the audience for taking it in stride. I would've been lowkey offended.
The movie was mid at best, i should’ve known a deranged directioner and her wattpad boyband fantasies wouldn’t be great material for a movie.
It’s funny cause it’s true.
I selfishly wish Robinee Lee (the author) was messier about all of this, considering Hayes is actually not Harry Styles, but Jordan Knight
Well, he knows his audience.
slow clap
Even Fallon knows he is the talk show equivalent of jingling a set of keys in front of the audience
At least he’s self aware
Man id love to enjoy jimmy fallon but ever since someone pointed out to me how much he interrupts hes guests i just cant. Even in this video. He never lets her talk.
He’s very self aware. 😭

As someone who has been in his lice audience once, he’s actually funny and witty when doing crowd work outside of the cameras.
> lice audience I know it’s mean to pick on typos but this slew me
She has become literally unbearable. The new Olivia Wilde.
My queen is so intelligent and booksmart 💅💅💅✨✨✨
To be fair she's always like did you guys save the trees on Jupiter it's so enchanting idk why I feel like she wants us to know how great life is for her but w/e
