NBC’s award-winning show Saturday Night Live first premiered on October 11, 1975. Jimmy Fallon was commissioned as a cast member in 1988, and in 2014, he became the sixth permanent host of the long-running The Tonight Show. His weekly hashtag challenges and active social media presence have won him a solid fan-base.
Fallon's most popular challenge was his #TumbleweedChallenge, which generated over 8K submissions and 10.4 million engagements on TikTok. This was the biggest spike recorded by TikTok since the app launched in 2016. Currently, Fallon has a whopping 51.3M following on Twitter, making his account the 19th most popular one on the entire site.
Donald Trump has also helped Jimmy’s Twitter account to get attention. Back in June, Trump attacked Fallon for apologizing for having the then-presidential candidate on his chat show and playfully ruffling his hair. Trump told Fallon to “be a man.”
Oh, and if you're wondering, Barack Obama is the most followed person on Twitter with 110.2M followers. With the presidency now behind him, Obama mostly tweets about work being done by his Obama Foundation and other activities.
