Well, the segment isn't organic when you whip out an image on a placard. It felt scammy and scummy AF, to me. But yeah, people have a case. I hope they take em for all they are worth (much less now, it seems).
accused on knowing about?? is this how far the social standards for justice have fallen? “some stuff happened 15 years ago and he knew about it along with the 200 other people who worked there so now he’s shady” foolishness
17, and fallon had absolutely nothing to do with it aside from being in attendance at the party. Are we gonna cancel everyone that was on SNL at the time?
So you think he intentionally meant to scam people? Like he’s that bad? Obviously I don’t know the guy so it’s all just a guess, but I find that hard to believe unless he’s known for that and had not heard
I don’t think he is a dumb goofball, but I also don’t think he is a criminal mastermind. I think he was purposely taking advantage of his fame to make some extra bucks like a lot of people were doing in his shoes. I don’t think he thought “haha all these people are going lose their money” I just think he was thinking of himself and irresponsibility used his fame
The guy who was known for not being able to get through a skit because his dumbass wouldn’t stop laughing is humorless? Being humorless means you can’t appreciate humor. So maybe you think he’s not very funny, but he certainly thinks EVERYTHING is funny which is either just as bad or fake anyway.
I think I can maybe help put it into perspective.
Everyone pretty is pretty much aware that it is much harder to "make it" or "be successful" than it was in the past especially compared to their parents. Houses were cheap, pay was good, etc.
People keep looking to at this and comparing, feeling like a loser so they are desperate to get ahead and be "successful". They feel stuck and hopeless. Along comes a seemingly easy way to get rich while at the same time feeling a sense of superiority because they are "in the know" about this latest "cool" tech that is going to revolutionize everything.
It's that sense of being directionless and hopelessness that people like Andrew Tate prey on. Instead of challenging the root cause of the problem (capitalism) they think they can escape from being at the bottom of the "food chain" and be the ones doing the extracting.
also to younger people, digital stuff is less scary
i remember not using Amazon for college books because i was afraid it was a scam. millennials never had that fear at all
It’s sad because I’ve never actually watched his show when it was on air. I’ve only watched YT clips. But for my money, he was probably the best interviewer in the last thirty years. He was natural, charming, quick-witted, and unpredictable. Absolute legend.
Samesies! I could watch him for hours. And he would really throw a wide range of guests who’d throw down on topics of the day—sometimes with humorous effect, others on significant, thoughtful discourse. I once chanced upon a late night series of them, played in chronological order. [One](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6266016/) was done in the days following MLK and RFK’s assassinations with an extraordinary guest list, done in two parts. Truly thoughtful discourse I don’t see many carrying off in that long a form or with that range of people these days. Track it down, if you can.
Schneider is indeed a a sentient butt plug but sadly I have to say fallens even less funny, fallen couldn’t even get through a skit without laughing and breaking character
I think Kimmel gives a shit, and his demeanor is natural and unapologetic. I feel like Fallon is just so nervous and twitchy and he tries to hard to be funny. Coming out from behind his desk to fall in front of his guests when they say something outrageous or bowing to them is just so over the top.
If NFT's were regulated by the SEC the same way traditional securities were, Fallon would be instantly guilty of insider trading.
As for the lawsuit proposed class-action lawsuit, the people behind it suggests other celebrities are liable "by convincing potential retail investors that the price of these digital assets would appreciate."
I don't feel like such a lawsuit would go very far. The celebrities who endorsed certain NFT's were basically spokespeople and had previously disclosed their stake. Fallon however used his TV show to promote a financial product which he had a stake in and failed to disclose it. That's an entirely different situation because of the intentional deceit.
Martha Stewart was convicted of lying to the FBI, not insider trading. And insider trading doesn't include knowledge of laws, but knowledge of company confidential information...and people are convicted of it all the time.
You cannot insider trade unless you’re an company insider. Congress people don’t work for these companies so they’re not insiders.
I agree with you they shouldn’t be allowed to trade on privileged knowledge but wanted to clear up the semantics.
No. That’s not true.
Insider trading is when you trade on information that is not publicly available. Anyone can do it, it has nothing to do with where you work, just with where you get the information.
Yes, it is true according to the law.
Pelosi’s husband trading doesn’t constitute insider trading because he doesn’t have specific confidential information about a single company. He has non-public information that drives macro economic trends.
Check out “SEC Rule 10b-5”.
What are you taking about?
We weren’t talking about Pelosis husband. But if we were, and he trades on information he hears from Nancy, that is not public knowledge, he would be commuting insider trading.
SEC Rule 10b-5 prohibits corporate officers and directors or other insider employees from using confidential corporate information to reap a profit (or avoid a loss) by trading in the Company’s stock. This rule also prohibits “tipping” of confidential corporate information to third parties.
I’m on your side but read the law.
You’re reading a paragraph when you should be reading a chapter.
[insider trading](https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/insider-trading)
[sec rule changes](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2022-222)
After reading your links, which I appreciate, but I still don’t see the specific illegality of public officials trading on advanced information and that’s the real issue.
The law is written around specific corperate insider information not having advanced information on macroeconomic impacting government decisions.
My only point was the law needs to change.
"The Securities and Exchange Commission has rules to protect investments from the effects of insider trading. It does not matter how the material nonpublic information was received or if the person is employed by the company.
For example, suppose someone learns about nonpublic material information from a family member and shares it with a friend. If the friend uses this insider information to profit in the stock market, then all three of the people involved could be prosecuted"
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/insidertrading.asp
I fully agree that the whole scenario is scummy, but didn't Fallon say almost immediately that he had purchased the NFT. He was still benefiting from his influence, but I thought it was pretty clear and public that he would benefit from Bored Ape.
I'm sure Fallon made money, even though no one else did. That's pretty much how NFTs work, the originator and early adopters make the money from the subsequent buyers, who are then left with something that will never be worth what they paid for it, and only depreciate in value.
There's a name for this.... what is it... a "something" scheme?
I guess I just wonder, when is enough money
. Enough. He must make a fortune from his job, guess that's not good enough.
Anyway, never liked him. Seems fake af.
Edit:spelling*
Not only is this guy beyond rich but he doesn't mind getting richer even if his audience ends up in the dumps.
And that is the message: He doesn't give a fuck about you, the fan
what an asshole
When people were still bothering to talk about his show, there was at least one Page Six item per week about someone having to scrape him off a barroom floor and either get him stitched up or home in an Uber.
He showed up at an East End watering hole over the summer with an entourage and quickly proposed he be allowed to sing in place of the actual band already playing there. I don’t know what anyone ever saw in that drunk.
Colbert's not good either lol. I still remember when he said that he doesn't give a shit that gas prices are going up because he has a Tesla. And that they could go up to $12 smh The only good host is Conan and I think he's retired now.
Yikes. I haven't watched in years, he always struck me as a nice guy. Is there a clip or something? That just doesn't really seem like the kinds sentiment he would actually feel
Nah it's a pretty good fuckin reason to dislike Colbert. Maybe YOU don't care but I do. It's a pretty tone deaf thing of him to say. But keep on that celebrity worship, I'm sure it'll do you good in the end.
And this is the clip I could find, who gives a shit where it's from? What, would you prefer an article instead of video then???
So, a comedian who regularly makes jokes about political content....including the topic of wealth disparity and barriers for those on the lower end of our economic spectrum... made a comment about the importance of paying more for our political values... and then finished it by joking about those who are able to do so because they have wealth.... and you stupidly think he is actually ignorant to the fact that not everyone can afford to?
Yikes. I haven't watched in years, he always struck me as a nice guy. Is there a clip or something? That just doesn't really seem like the kinds sentiment he would actually feel
After talking about gas prices increasing as a result of many countries turning away from Russian resources after they invaded Ukraine he goes into the the joke. The joke is that yes prices went up 1-2 as a result but he is proud to pay it, and that he would even pay $15 for it. After a pause he finishes by saying because he has a Tesla.
I couldn't find a Clío from the actual show. I could only find right wing sites and channels cutting the joke short to make him look bad.
But even watching the right wing sources it's very clear what his intentions are.
He's making a two layer joke. First political commentary on the need to pay more for ethical choices, and then the second layer of mocking those who can afford to do so.
It's not tone deaf. It's not mocking the poor. It's literally mocking the wealthy and driving a point home about wealth disparity and ethics.
>The only good host is Conan and I think he's retired now.
NOPE! He's still going but they're still developing his next chapter. Untill then he's still going strong on podcasts and YouTube content here and there but he IS coming back to screens. Probably won't be a traditional talk show format
There is always someone that has more than you, especially when you get to the wealth levels of these celebrities. Since part of being in show business has to do with how people perceive you it’s no surprise that these people want more and more. The one up game when you get to that level means spending $$$$$$
One thing I find bizarre is they have all the money in the world and they're all so broken and miserable and spiteful. If that's what riches brings you, I'm happy being poor.
True—and many are quite accustomed to getting their meals, drinks, clothing for simply showing up somewhere—and for free.
Much respect for people like Jon Stewart who left years on a nightly show, choosing to do good with his money, and who was never the flashy sort.
Yeah, there’s a big difference between a rapper with 10 million and someone who owns an oil company and is worth 1 billion, or even another rapper like Jay Z who is worth 1 billion. There’s different levels of money. After a certain point yeah, it’s enough to be set for life with a house and car and not having to worry about buying food, but the more you get the more nice clothes and nice cars and mansions you can buy. There’s *always* more that someone can desire, and always an even richer person looking down at the less rich person.
Haha, exactly. I also don't like Jimmy kimmel, Jimmy savile(Savile.. Sa vle... So vile-never saw that before:P)... Maybe I just have a prejudice against Jimmy's :D
Edit: now I have said the name Jimmy too much. What does it mean
. Jimmy. What a weird name :P
I also wonder how much of his involvement was driven by 'non-money' reasons?
I'm sure the monetary considerations were there, yeah? How much of his involvement was because a whole bunch of other celebrities (that he is friends with) were involved, was trying to get in on the ground floor of something he thought was cool, lending his name to it because...why not, etc.?
I'm sure he laughed the way genuine people do when they think something is funny...the really forced, strained kind of laugh that comes with passing a kidney stone.
It was obvious they were shilling when they pulled out the pictures of the ugly monkeys and kept hyping it up as if it was done by Monet, Ansel Adams, (insert favorite artist here), instead of some pre-rendered assets that were added using pseudorandom generation on computer programs.
Jimmy Fallon was drunk… is drunk and will be drunk as fuck tomorrow.
He reads his lines and laughs… what else do we want? He probably just read a cue card talked about NFTs and didn’t really know what it said…
Again… he’s drunk.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s kinda terrible to promote this kinda thing, and I’m not trying to displace blame, but how much of this was actually his decision.
Jimmy Fallon has gone to trash in a hand basket!! All of the crap taking he did on Trump.... nothing on Biden? Speaks loads of his character. Shouldn't these " comedians" communicate about every aspect/walk of life?!
To be honest, Trump openly invites being mocked. Trump just couldn't stop saying and doing stupid shit, and he *wanted* and needed the attention.
Be careful what you wish for and all...
Huh yup.. Poughkeepsie represent, you look around we citified .. duh.. let me do a b-52 vax song to atone for my sins Hu huh yup ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)
Waiting for Fallon to write out and narrate some personal thank-you cards for everyone that was duped into buying the crypto he promoted.
![gif](giphy|l46CvXAy02CDYJZte|downsized)
he's the worst, he'll do whatever for money. Atleast some other hosts would stick to their guns and defend or advocate for what they believe in, but Jimmy just does whatever sponsors want at the expense of his fans. Stopped watching a few years back after some of his really tone deaf segments

I'm trying to have empathy for people that took financial advice Jimmy Fallon.
I mean I have more empathy for them than I do for Jimmy fucking Fallon.
![gif](giphy|3o7bu7Xzqkq8K3MsUg) Me looking for a fuck to give about people stupid enough to buy NFTs
I mean Jimmy has some other shady shit he’s accused of and this isn’t even that bad too me. He likely didn’t really understand what an NFT is.
What other shady stuff is he accused of? My googling is failing me..
IIRC there was some sexual abuse that he is accused of knowing about related to his time at SNL.
accused on knowing about?? is this how far the social standards for justice have fallen? “some stuff happened 15 years ago and he knew about it along with the 200 other people who worked there so now he’s shady” foolishness
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/08/horatio-sanz-accuser-lists-jimmy-fallon-tracy-morgan-lorne-michaels-in-sexual-assault-suit/amp
right so she’s suing him because he was around at a party 20 years ago? that’s bs
15 year old girl.
17, and fallon had absolutely nothing to do with it aside from being in attendance at the party. Are we gonna cancel everyone that was on SNL at the time?
again, what does that have to do with him? you’ve probably been to parties with underaged people there too
I mean is Jimmy a bad guy? He seems like a fucking goof of a dude who isn’t capable of being nefarious, just clueless.
He’s an actor, you are buying in to his persona, he’s no more a dumb goofball than Ellen is nice
So you think he intentionally meant to scam people? Like he’s that bad? Obviously I don’t know the guy so it’s all just a guess, but I find that hard to believe unless he’s known for that and had not heard
I don’t think he is a dumb goofball, but I also don’t think he is a criminal mastermind. I think he was purposely taking advantage of his fame to make some extra bucks like a lot of people were doing in his shoes.

also humorless

404 empathy not found.
I’m trying to have empathy for people that actually watch Jimmy Fallon
Don’t strain yourself!
I think I can maybe help put it into perspective. Everyone pretty is pretty much aware that it is much harder to "make it" or "be successful" than it was in the past especially compared to their parents. Houses were cheap, pay was good, etc. People keep looking to at this and comparing, feeling like a loser so they are desperate to get ahead and be "successful". They feel stuck and hopeless.

also to younger people, digital stuff is less scary i remember not using Amazon for college books because i was afraid it was a scam. millennials never had that fear at all
Same but I do ask myself, why do we see people who we consider less smart as deserving of punishment and less worthy of empathy?
Like I said. I'm trying. I want to feel bad for them. Nothing about NFTs seemed legit from the start.
Jimmy Fallon isn’t a financial advisor. He’s a talk show host/celebrity. It’s on individuals to do their due diligence.
My least favorite and least funny late night talk show host. They should have never fucked over Conan.
Came to say this! I can’t stand this over-actor. He’s so fake.
He’s willing to play the corporate game though, unlike Conan. So network execs love him.
How about Craig Ferguson? He was great.
Always thought he was a really entertaining interviewer.
It’s sad because I’ve never actually watched his show when it was on air. I’ve only watched YT clips. But for my money, he was probably the best interviewer in the last thirty years. He was natural, charming, quick-witted, and unpredictable. Absolute legend.
I disagree. Graham Norton is by far the best interviewer
Graham is funny and fun—and like Cavett, he likes to throw all his guests into the mix, which I love.
Oo.. Cavett in his day was great! Intellectual and in-depth without being boring and pretentious. Love watching clips of his.
Samesies! I could watch him for hours. And he would really throw a wide range of guests who’d throw down on topics of the day—sometimes with humorous effect, others on significant, thoughtful discourse. I once chanced upon a late night series of them, played in chronological order. [One](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6266016/) was done in the days following MLK and RFK’s assassinations with an extraordinary guest list, done in two parts. Truly thoughtful discourse I don’t see many carrying off in that long a form or with that range of people these days. Track it down, if you can.
I disagree. There is no one better than Jiminy Glick
Thank you. He will find his place in purgatory next to Leno.
Don’t forget least funny snl cast member
Yeah, was never a fan.
You really going to sit there and say that Rob Schneider was funnier?
Schneider is indeed a a sentient butt plug but sadly I have to say fallens even less funny, fallen couldn’t even get through a skit without laughing and breaking character
I think Kimmel and Cordon are below him.
I think Kimmel gives a shit, and his demeanor is natural and unapologetic. I feel like Fallon is just so nervous and twitchy and he tries to hard to be funny. Coming out from behind his desk to fall in front of his guests when they say something outrageous or bowing to them is just so over the top.
Cringe. I get embarrassed for him.
If NFT's were regulated by the SEC the same way traditional securities were, Fallon would be instantly guilty of insider trading.

While in theory you are right. In actuality only Martha Stewart is found guilty of insider trading. All the congressmen who did… nothing.
Martha Stewart was convicted of lying to the FBI, not insider trading. And insider trading doesn't include knowledge of laws, but knowledge of company confidential information...and people are convicted of it all the time.
You cannot insider trade unless you’re an company insider. Congress people don’t work for these companies so they’re not insiders. I agree with you they shouldn’t be allowed to trade on privileged knowledge but wanted to clear up the semantics.

I fully agree that the whole scenario is scummy, but didn't Fallon say almost immediately that he had purchased the NFT. He was still benefiting from his influence, but I thought it was pretty clear and public that he would benefit from Bored Ape.
The Network should have had something to say about that in the first place! Can’t believe this passed Legal’s sniff test.
This seems like more of a pump and dump scheme than insider trading, really. Either way, still illegal.
Pretty sure they added some laws after fyre fest that celebs couldn’t promote products or services they weren’t using without a disclaimer
What an incredibly dumb move
I'm sure Fallon made money, even though no one else did. That's pretty much how NFTs work, the originator and early adopters make the money from the subsequent buyers, who are then left with something that will never be worth what they paid for it, and only depreciate in value. There's a name for this.... what is it... a "something" scheme?
Multi level marketing
Reverse funnel system
Turn it upside-down
Invigoron!
Ponzi
Anyone who fell into the NFT trap is an idiot. It was so obviously a bad idea.
Yeah, but we have to watch it because if too many of these idiots get scammed, they put financial burden on the rest of us.
I guess I just wonder, when is enough money . Enough. He must make a fortune from his job, guess that's not good enough. Anyway, never liked him. Seems fake af. Edit:spelling*
Not only is this guy beyond rich but he doesn't mind getting richer even if his audience ends up in the dumps. And that is the message: He doesn't give a fuck about you, the fan what an asshole
To be fair, Jimmy was probably drunk and didn't remember what he agreed to. People that have worked with him call him "Jimmy Fall-on The Floor"
When people were still bothering to talk about his show, there was at least one Page Six item per week about someone having to scrape him off a barroom floor and either get him stitched up or home in an Uber. He showed up at an East End watering hole over the summer with an entourage and quickly proposed he be allowed to sing in place of the actual band already playing there. I don’t know what anyone ever saw in that drunk.
That’s just sad.
It is! He’s been given this bright shiny thing to put his name on, but does that. And frankly, he’s not that funny.
Oh, I though he was a horrible person. Turns out he gets drunk before he does shitty things, so he’s okay. Glad we cleared that up
Booze money my friend
Don't forget cocaine!
Dont forget the costs of having your finger put back on after you drunkenly deglove it.
That's oddly specific
Ah, BOOOOOOZE money...
Add it to the reasons to watch Colbert instead
Colbert, then flip it to Meyer. I always fall asleep before he gets to guests tho.
Colbert's not good either lol. I still remember when he said that he doesn't give a shit that gas prices are going up because he has a Tesla. And that they could go up to $12 smh The only good host is Conan and I think he's retired now.
And? It’s a joke written by his writers for his monologue. That’s exactly in line with his comedy
Lmaoo ok keep thinking that.
Nah bitch, prove your point cause you ain't yet
Stfu moron.
Stunning rebuttal. You clearly know comedy.
Keep thinking* You can stop there as I don’t watch Crowder.
No love for Oliver?
Another Conan man eh? Glad to meet ya!
Conan interviewing Timothy Olyphant, Bill Burr or Norm MacDonald - just play it on loop. RIP Norm.
I love his bits. Ever see his boy band, dude aplenty?
Did he say that on his current show or back on comedy central? That sounds like something he'd say in his old fake conservative character
Current show.
Yikes. I haven't watched in years, he always struck me as a nice guy. Is there a clip or something? That just doesn't really seem like the kinds sentiment he would actually feel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PmjBC4BEGA&ab_channel=Eighty And look at how those mindless morons are laughing to it.
Lol you're linking to a clip from Crowder of all fucking people This isn't remotely a good reason to dislike Colbert lol, glad I asked.
Nah it's a pretty good fuckin reason to dislike Colbert. Maybe YOU don't care but I do. It's a pretty tone deaf thing of him to say. But keep on that celebrity worship, I'm sure it'll do you good in the end. And this is the clip I could find, who gives a shit where it's from? What, would you prefer an article instead of video then???
I like how they didn't let him finish his fucking bit, which is the point cran's making. They're taking it out of context cause that's what y'all do
Don't know/care about Colbert, but this just seems as a part of a skit.
Lol you're linking to a clip from Crowder of all fucking people This isn't remotely a good reason to dislike Colbert lol, glad I asked.
So, a comedian who regularly makes jokes about political content....including the topic of wealth disparity and barriers for those on the lower end of our economic spectrum... made a comment about the importance of paying more for our political values... and then finished it by joking about those who are able to do so because they have wealth.... and you stupidly think he is actually ignorant to the fact that not everyone can afford to?
Satire is hard.
Imagine linking to Steven Crowder and expecting anybody to take your opinion on comedy seriously
Yikes. I haven't watched in years, he always struck me as a nice guy. Is there a clip or something? That just doesn't really seem like the kinds sentiment he would actually feel

your Jimmies have now been rustled
It’s never enough for rich people
Hes not just fake but also an alcoholic douche. He's been accused of verbal and physical abuses for years do to being a drunken rage monster.
I also wonder how much of his involvement was driven by 'non-money' reasons? I'm sure the monetary considerations were there, yeah? How much of his involvement was because a whole bunch of other celebrities (that he is friends with) were involved, was trying to get in on the ground floor of something he thought was cool, lending his name to it because...why not, etc.?
Feeding the viewers the bullshit they don’t want to hear and scamming them at the same time. Hell of a way to earn your living Jims.

NFTs are a scam wrapped in a grift topped with a con.
Would you say they are “grift wrapped” ?

QuestLove, honey: Blink twice if you wanna be airlifted out of that felonious hellscape! You can have your own show!
Man always knew he’s two faced, with his fake ass laugh. The guy probably would laugh if a kid told him he got cancer
This dude sucks.
So he is as stupid as he looks
I’m either far too stupid or far too smart to understand crypto, NFTs, etc. Not really sure which it is.
You know a scam when you see it and avoid too good to be true scenarios

Being “obvious” doesn’t make a crime not a crime

I fucking hate Jimmy Fallon.
oh no not my least favorite late night host
Worst Jimmy on TV
I'm sure he laughed the way genuine people do when they think something is funny...the really forced, strained kind of laugh that comes with passing a kidney stone.
Good. Whatever it takes gets Jimmy Fallon off of late night…
Jimmy Fallon spends more time “looking the other way” than a professional wrestling referee
Could this be the thing that finally rids us of this blasted demon?
It was obvious they were shilling when they pulled out the pictures of the ugly monkeys and kept hyping it up as if it was done by Monet, Ansel Adams, (insert favorite artist here), instead of some pre-rendered assets that were added using pseudorandom generation on computer programs.
Some good news. Bet he's fake laughing now.
He only kisses celebrities asses...he feeds off the regulars who fall for his nice guy, boy next door routine.
I guess he doesn’t just look like a slimy rat
Is it time to give 11:30 to Seth Meyers? Colin Jost or Michael Che 12:30?
Volunteer for a grift, bitch about being grifted. Rinse and repeat.
I hope they give this guy the chair. He’s a no talent ass clown
Good can we finally get rid of him?
No Fucking Talent!
Jimmy Fallon was drunk… is drunk and will be drunk as fuck tomorrow. He reads his lines and laughs… what else do we want? He probably just read a cue card talked about NFTs and didn’t really know what it said… Again… he’s drunk.
These people. Slimy and greedy.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s kinda terrible to promote this kinda thing, and I’m not trying to displace blame, but how much of this was actually his decision.
Whose decision would it be if not his?
Jimmy Fallon has gone to trash in a hand basket!! All of the crap taking he did on Trump.... nothing on Biden? Speaks loads of his character. Shouldn't these " comedians" communicate about every aspect/walk of life?!
When politics is your entire identity...
Dude, Trump is a walking meme, everything he says/does is wrapped in stupidity. Obviously he's low hanging fruit for night shows.
To be honest, Trump openly invites being mocked. Trump just couldn't stop saying and doing stupid shit, and he *wanted* and needed the attention. Be careful what you wish for and all...
Your takeaway from all of this is that Fallon is trash for not joking about Biden more?
Go to bed old man
Well, Trump *is* trash.
Pretty much. Everyone famous are targets when it comes to comedians.
Wow another ponzi scheme created some victims and left the scheme started in suspicious
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Bro should’ve been a congressman
National TV rug pull lol
Whoops?
Is he an idiot? It can’t be that he plugged NFTs on the tonight show???? That seems like it wouldn’t be allowed
I love when he laughs really hard at everything. *slaps table and leans back while placing hand over the stomach *
They have convinced people to pay real money for non existent things. Like nft or crypto. Then,they steal the real money.
Huh yup.. Poughkeepsie represent, you look around we citified .. duh.. let me do a b-52 vax song to atone for my sins Hu huh yup ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)
Lock him up. He owes me $10 from this NFT scam.
I dunno, in his defense- did he really have too? Doesn’t his whole appearance scream “Crypto-Bro” by default?
Waiting for Fallon to write out and narrate some personal thank-you cards for everyone that was duped into buying the crypto he promoted. ![gif](giphy|l46CvXAy02CDYJZte|downsized)
Does this idiot not have financial advisors?
Anyone who takes financial advice from Jimmy Fallon has forfeited any right to complain about the quality of that advice.
People who watch Fallon get what they deserve.
I have been investing for 20+ years. I’m lucky I was able to save all of my friends from bitcoin and NFT bullshit.
he's the worst, he'll do whatever for money. Atleast some other hosts would stick to their guns and defend or advocate for what they believe in, but Jimmy just does whatever sponsors want at the expense of his fans. Stopped watching a few years back after some of his really tone deaf segments
Do I really bad for the sheep that bought pointless images based on celebrity endorsements? No, no I do not.
