How did Jimmy Fallon become famous?
Born in Brooklyn's Bay Ridge neighborhood and raised in Saugerties, N.Y., Jimmy Fallon grew up sheltered by his Catholic parents. His first taste for comedy and music came from listening to The Dr. Demento Show on the radio, then grew obsessed with Saturday Night Live as a teen.
Fallon went to college for computer science, then switched to communications, but dropped out to pursue comedy full-time before graduating. He performed standup in New York City, then moved to Los Angeles in 1995, and he started getting pro bookings when he was just 21 years old. He worked with the Groundlings improv troupe for two years, then auditioned for SNL for the first time in 1997. He didn't get it, but sent a tape again in 1999—and when he was 23, impressed Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey enough to land the gig.
