Jimmy Fallon Also Grieving the Loss of His Mom
It's been a tough week for celebrities, as Jimmy Fallon is also grieving the loss of his mother, Gloria Fallon. The beloved host of The Tonight Show shared the devastating news on November 4, saying, "Today I lost my biggest fan." In a statement to Us Weekly, Jimmy expressed the depth of his sorrow. His network also released a heartfelt message, stating, "On behalf of everyone at NBC, we extend our deepest condolences to Jimmy and all his family at this time of enormous loss. Our hearts go out to Jimmy and everyone else whose lives were so touched by Gloria Fallon's love, kindness, and support."
Gloria passed away just one day after Jimmy unexpectedly canceled the November 3 taping of The Tonight Show due to a "private Fallon family matter." A representative for the Fallon family later confirmed her passing, saying, "Jimmy Fallon’s mother, Gloria, died peacefully on Saturday. Jimmy was at his mother’s bedside, along with her loved ones, when she passed away at NYU Langone Medical Center in NYC." This news came after Gloria fell ill, prompting Jimmy to rush to her side. As we reflect on these losses, our thoughts and prayers are with Antonio and Jimmy during this incredibly difficult time.
