‘Tonight Show’ host Jimmy Fallon (and his daughters) share their favorite recent reads
There’s no doubt Jimmy Fallon—10-year host of The Tonight Show, co-host of the 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony, famous former Saturday Night Live comic—is busy. But he always makes time for his kids—and to write best-selling children’s books. His latest, 5 More Sleeps Til Halloween, published this week. To celebrate, we asked Fallon to tell us what books he’s read recently and loved, and instead he passed the microphone to Frances and Winnie, saying, “I’m a proud girl dad of a 9 and 10-year-old, and these are their most recent favorite books.”
