::Jimmy comes out wearing a doctor's mask and holding a bottle of medicine::
Rosie: You know, one of the problems is when I laugh, I cough more. So this is gonna be an infectious segment I think. How are you Jimmy? Jimmy: I'm doing really good. Thanks for having me on!
Rosie: Good to see you. I hope I don't get you sick, honey.
Jimmy: Yeah, you sounded horrible at the beginning. I was like "Oh my god!" You were like "She's a real live wire, Reba Mcintire" ::cough,cough:: Is Kathie Lee busy?
Rosie: Yeah, exactly.
Jimmy: We're gonna call her right now! Thanks so much for still doing it.
Rosie: Yeah, well, ya know, I have to be here. It's my job.
::Jimmy can't get the doctor's mask off::
Rosie: Wanna get that off are you alright?
Jimmy: Please, I need help ::makes sad puppy face::
Rosie: I'll try not to touch any part of you so you don't get infected. Jimmy: Thanks Rosie.
Rosie: Now let me tell you, were you nervous of doing Robert Deniro to Robert Deniro?
Jimmy: Yeah! It was crazy!
Rosie: I would've been a little nervous.
Jimmy: Yeah, it's like Robert Deniro! It's like nuts! It's like, we didn't know he was coming in until like 8 o'clock, and I was like, you know, he's Deniro. So I thought he was gonna come in and say "We're gonna do what I do, we're gonna do what I say." You know? Like that, but he was like "What...What do you wanna do?" But he came in and then he had his bunch of entourage with him and they would come in and say "What Bobby wants to do is..."
Rosie: Right.
Jimmy: You know, and they'd just say...and it was just awesome... it was like, I couldn't believe he did it. I was just nervous the whole day.
Rosie: Yeah, he did it very shy. It's suprising isn't it?
Jimmy: Very shy! Yeah, and very like nice and he'll take notes, and I thought he was just gonna come in and like...tell me what to do.
Rosie: Who else have you done to their face? You did Seinfeld...
Jimmy: I did Seinfeld, with Jerry Seinfeld, that was awesome too. It was like "I'm doing you! You're doing me! C'mon! We're both doing this. I know!" He was really cool. He was a nice guy.
Rosie: Now did you grow up doing impersonations? You must've!
Jimmy: Yeah! I just uh...one of my first big ones was uh...Pee-Wee Herman.
Rosie: Yeah, yeah.
Jimmy: I did him and it was like I did this club, Bananas in Pooghkeepsie.
Rosie: I went there!
Jimmy: Did you really?
Rosie: Yes!
Jimmy: Carl and Arlene, they're nice people. That's where I started, and uh...there was an impression contest... my Mom saw it in the paper. And I did a Pee Wee Herman impression, and this was at the time when the big scandal was happening.
Rosie: Yeah, yeah.
Jimmy: But it was perfect for comedy, like if you did a Pee Wee Herman it was great. So I did the Pee Wee Herman thing and then uh...I closed out and I did this...uh...troll doll act where I'm doing commercials for this doll. Very confusing. And I ended up doing a Pee Wee Herman, like, you know... uh..."I like to play with myself!" Something like that, you know, something like that, sorry.
Rosie: Yeah yeah yeah!
Jimmy: Yeah, but anyways. At the time it was like comic gold. I was like "wow!" It was really cool. I was really happy.
Rosie: Now did you watch SNL growing up?
Jimmy: Yeah, my whole life I've always watched it. Like, my parents... they used to tape it when...it was like two VCR's that made one... it was like two big bricks. They used to tape it and let us watch it and then...um...me and my sister would do shows like if they were having a party or something like that. We'd come out as the wild and crazy guys.
Rosie: Oh really?
Jimmy: Yeah, but we were like babies so we didn't know what we were talking about. We were just like..."We have to go to statue of liberty to get birth control devices!" You know, and my grandparents are like "What's going on?"
Rosie: Yeah, because you're very young. How old are you?
Jimmy: I'm 26.
Rosie: You're 26? You're a baby.
Jimmy: No.
Rosie: I used to do all the uh Saturday Night Live's. That's how I started out, too!
Jimmy: Really?!
Rosie: I used to do Rosanadanna for my high school skits like for the class. "You have a little something stuck in your teeth." That's how I started doing comedy too.
Jimmy: Isn't that crazy!?
Rosie: It's wild.
Jimmy: That shows you...it's like always... it's always been my dream to get on that show, so to get on it, it's just like I can't believe it. Everyday I'm like "wow!" I can't believe I'm on this show!
Rosie: What was the audition process like? Did you have to do like seven characters?
Jimmy: Yeah, they said do three original characters, and three impressions. And I ended up doing like... cause I do a lot of impressions. So I did like ten impressions and uh...I remembered them saying like "Well, Lorne's not gonna laugh. He's seen it all. He's not gonna laugh here, so don't worry about it. Don't let it throw you." So, I'm nervous already. I'm like, he's not gonna laugh! It's gonna throw me!
Rosie: Yeah, that's a lot of pressure.
Jimmy: Yeah, so I did Sandler, and uh, he started laughing cause noone really did that, and I saw him put his head in his hand and he started laughing, and I was like... wow! Even if I don't get this it's a cool like, Wonder Years moment.
Rosie: Yeah, you got Lorne Michaels to laugh! That's not a bad thing.
Jimmy: Yeah! That's really cool.
Rosie: How'd you come up with the computer guy? That's the funniest thing that you do. I love it! It cracks me up!
Jimmy: I was a computer/science major in college.
Rosie: You were? Really?
Jimmy: Yeah, there's not much comedy there...
Rosie: No...
Jimmy: Uh...this writer, T. Sean Shannon was like "I wanna write something for you. What do you wanna do?" And I was like, "How about a guy that likes computers or something like that and he was like, "Yeah, that's cool! And how 'bout the guy that fixes the computer that makes you look like an idiot!" You know?
Rosie: Right, right.
Jimmy: You know, and he tells you, "Just hit escape and then hit enter, hit enter then escape then... MOVE!" And then you get out of the way and you know he does it for you. And that's what he does. He comes in and he makes a fool out of you, and then he might help you out.
Rosie: How bout the Sully character? Where did you come up with that?
Jimmy: That's my girl, Rachel Dratch! She thought of that one.
Rosie: She's funny too!
Jimmy: Man oh man, she's talented. She came from Second City. They used to... her and Tina Fey, who I do the news with now, they used to do the sketch with the two Boston kids. You know and like Sully was the boyfriend. The catch phrase they say is "You're retahded!"
Rosie: In Boston.
Jimmy: Right, in Boston. And the other guy says "you ah!" Ya know, "you ah!" Ya know, and then we make out. So I'm in Boston, my sister's getting married, you know, and I'm in Boston walking down the street and someone's in the car and they're like "Hey Jimmy!" And, I'm like "Hey! What's up?" And he goes "YOU'RE RETAHDED!" I'm like "You ah!" And he's like honking the horn.
Rosie: You were very good as well in Almost Famous. Here's a little clip from your own private Still catalogue obviously.
Jimmy: Thank you very much.
Rosie: You were great in that! How'd you get that gig? I loved that movie.
Jimmy: Right?
Rosie: I thought it was a great movie!
Jimmy: Cameron Crowe is the coolest guy on earth!
Rosie: And that Kate Hudson, man, she should win an Oscar I think for that.
Jimmy: It was crazy right?
Rosie: She was crazy.
Jimmy: It was like it was so cool and I didn't think I'd get cast for like a real you know, kind of a serious movie. You know, Gale Evan and Cameron had me in, she's the casting director, and I'm all nervous and then I did the audition. And then like...I got it and he's like "Can you grow a beard?" It's just so bizarre. So it's like...I dont know, it feels so weird. That's why I brought this picture.
Rosie: How bout when you saw it in the movie theater, did you go "Oh my God! Thats me!"
Jimmy: I was totally like. I saw it with my parents, and I was almost like bawling crying 'cause it's like so emotional. It's like "Oh my God" this is so cool! And then you get all nervous.
Rosie: Exactly.
Jimmy: It's like you're on the big screen, you know? You don't want people to boo or something.
Rosie: Yeah! They don't though, usually.
Jimmy: No, though! I didn't know, it was my first time, I thought everyone was enjoying the movie, but maybe they'd boo when I get on.
Rosie: No, no, no.
Jimmy: Like, "Yeah!" and then like "No. I'm not enjoying this movie."
Rosie: I was watching and going, "I think that's Jimmy Fallon!" I did! That's what I thought... It sounds like him, but...it is him!
Jimmy: It was so cool! And then the movie's like amazing! And I was like, forget about it. And now it's like winninng awards and stuff!
Rosie: Yeah!
Jimmy: Nobody knew that, we were just having a good time!
Rosie: Your parents must be very proud!
Jimmy: Yeah! They're the best! They like...they love it. They can't believe it. My grandfather
actually watches you all the time, ya know. When I come to visit he says, "How come you're not on Rosie?"
Rosie: Oh Yeah.
Jimmy: And I go, "Well you kinda have to be invited, you cant just show up and be like 'Can you put me on for my grandpa?'"
Rosie: Sure, sure.
Jimmy: And he goes, "Well Chris Kattan was on Rosie and Molly Shannon was on Rosie!"
Rosie: Right.
Jimmy: "How come you're not on Rosie!?" I'm like, "I'm on Saturday Night Live every weekend! How bout that?"
Rosie: Yeah! How 'bout that!
Jimmy: "You should be proud of me!" So, Tom Feeley who's sitting at home. Hey Grandpa!
Rosie: Where does he live...Tom?
Jimmy: Saugerties, New York.
Rosie: Tom, your grandkid did alright.
Jimmy: Aw, see! Thanks.
Rosie: There you go. Well you're very, very funny. I love your singing too when you sing on the show.
Jimmy: Yeah! That's so much fun!
Rosie: Yeah! Well you really make me laugh every week. Well, continue success little 26 year old!
Jimmy: Ah, haha! Thanks so much, Rosie!
Rosie: You're gonna be a big star.
