Jimmy Fallon returned to the “Tonight Show” on Wednesday after it was rumored across Twitter he died the night before.
, Fallon took a few moments to discuss how he found out he “died,” while out to dinner with his wife Nancy Juvonen. He believed the trend started based on a joke with Twitter users sharing images of different late-night hosts.
“They didn’t think it was going to take off like it did,” Fallon said. “But then it just took off. People started believing it. It’s just odd.” Even though he has gone through a death hoax before, Fallon still doesn’t know how to handle them and joked he didn’t hear from concerned family and friends.Fallon later asked Twitter CEO Elon Musk to help mitigate the damage the hashtag was creating. Instead,“First of all, I’m not going to die,” Fallon said during his show. “I’m very healthy, have a lot to live for, and have two little girls. I will live for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about me.
