His one line in the 1997 film ''[[Fathers' Day (1997 film)|Father's Day]]'' was cut, but he can still be seen in the background.

===Film career (2004–2008)===
[[File:Jimmy Fallon (cropped).jpg|left|thumb|Fallon in 2007]]
Fallon began to pursue a film career in 2004. He had spurned most major roles due to lack of time and disinterest in the dozens of scripts he read.<ref name="usa04"/> He signed on for his first lead role in ''[[Taxi (2004 film)|Taxi]]'', a remake of a French film, after co-star [[Queen Latifah]] became attached to the project. He was also attracted to the film's [[action comedy film|action comedy]] tone, seeing comparisons with ''SNL'' alumnus [[Eddie Murphy]]'s first big film, ''[[48 Hrs.]]'' (1982).<ref name="IGN">{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/10/07/interview-jimmy-fallon|title=Interview: Jimmy Fallon|author=Steve Head|date=October 7, 2004|website=[[IGN]]|access-date=May 5, 2015|archive-date=March 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309081254/http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/10/07/interview-jimmy-fallon|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the fall of 2003, he split his time between shooting the film in Los Angeles and returning to New York City for ''SNL''.<ref name="usa04"/> With his contract ending, his sixth season at ''SNL'' was his last; Fallon signed off at the conclusion of the show's [[Saturday Night Live (season 29)|twenty-ninth season]] in May 2004.<ref name="people1">{{cite news |author=Stephen M.

With big expectations from the studio, ''Taxi'' premiered in the fall of 2004. A flop with critics and audiences, it was Fallon's first failure.<ref name=rs/> [[20th Century Fox]] had already signed him for his second major role, starring opposite [[Drew Barrymore]] in the 2005 [[romantic comedy]] ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]''.<ref name="usa04"/> ''Fever Pitch'' fared little better than ''Taxi'', receiving mild reviews and tepid box office returns.<ref name="ew"/> He met his wife, producer Nancy Juvonen, during production of the film, and the two wed in December 2007.

Fallon began receiving fewer film offers. He had entered what he has called a "lost period", drinking more alcohol and beset by confusion over his next career moves.<ref name="VF"/> Fallon moved back east to New York, spending "a couple of years aimlessly knocking around".<ref name="vul2014" /> He wrote a screenplay during this time "about a guy in a goth band who has to pretend to be a country-music star".<ref name="rs" />

Before leaving ''SNL'', Michaels had told Fallon that he would be a good fit to take over NBC's ''[[Late Night (NBC)|Late Night]]'' franchise when then-host [[Conan O'Brien]] left for ''[[The Tonight Show]]''. Michaels urged NBC to give Fallon a holding deal in February 2007 so that he could not be lured elsewhere.<ref name="ew">{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2009/03/02/jimmy-fallon-king-late-night/|title=Jimmy Fallon: The New King of ''Late Night''|author=Tim Stack|date=March 2, 2009|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |access-date=June 16, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090426002207/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0%2C%2C20262336_2%2C00.html|archive-date=April 26, 2009|url-status=live}}</ref>

Fallon was considered an odd choice for the job, both by executives at NBC (who "hated" the idea and predicted it to be a failure) and among the general public.

''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' premiered in March 2009 to mixed reviews. Producer Michael Shoemaker felt that the show's style solidified when it used [[Susan Boyle]] as a joke. While other late-night programs had centered on her appearance, Fallon's ''Late Night'' debuted a sketch in which Boyle's emotional performances could "salve any affliction".<ref name="NYM"/> It was this style of humor, that Adam Sternbergh of ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' dubbed "the comedy of unabashed celebration", that led to the program's success.<ref name="NYM"/>

Fallon proved himself different from other late-night hosts, with more of a reliance on music, dancing, impersonations, and games.<ref name=rs>{{cite journal|author=Brian Hiatt|date=January 20, 2011|title=Jimmy Fallon's Big Adventure|journal=[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]]|issue=1122|publisher=[[Jann Wenner|Wenner Media]] [[Limited liability company|LLC]]|location=New York City|issn=0035-791X|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jimmy-fallons-big-adventure-20110120|access-date=May 5, 2015|archive-date=November 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171106061846/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jimmy-fallons-big-adventure-20110120|url-status=live}}</ref> Between his own musical sensibilities and the recruitment of his [[house band]], hip-hop collective [[The Roots]], Fallon's incarnation of ''Late Night'' "evolved into the most deeply musical of TV's musical-comedy variety programs", with sketches in which he parodies [[Neil Young]] and [[Bruce Springsteen]] going viral online.

Fallon's show found its footing in 2010, during [[2010 Tonight Show conflict|''The Tonight Show'' debacle]].<ref name="VF"/> The program embraced [[social media]] and the Internet, and online interaction and its presence on the show became crucial to its success.<ref name="nyt1">{{cite news |last=Carter |first=Bill |date=September 9, 2011 |title=No More Desk Potatoes? |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/arts/television/late-night-tv-shows-face-a-difficult-future.html |access-date=June 16, 2012 |archive-date=December 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111228163622/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/arts/television/late-night-tv-shows-face-a-difficult-future.html? |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2010, the show scored its first viral clip: Fallon and Timberlake performing a "[[History of Rap]]".<ref name="NYM" />

In January 2022, Fallon was criticized for discussing [[NFTs]] (and promoting one of his own) on his show during an interview with [[Paris Hilton]], which may have breached [[Conflict of interest|conflict-of-interest policies]] set by [[NBCUniversal]]'s parent company [[Comcast]]; his own NFT was deduced to have most likely been purchased in November 2021 for about $216,000, and his promotion of it on the show could have boosted its asking price.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2022-01-26/jimmy-fallon-nft-ape-nbc|title=Jimmy Fallon hyped his Bored Ape NFTs on 'The Tonight Show.'

On November 16, 2022, a Twitter hoax<!-- secondary sources + simple observation show Twitter users meant it as a joke and did not take it seriously --> spread with the hashtag ''#RIPJimmyFallon'', which started trending nationwide. Fallon asked Twitter owner [[Elon Musk]] for help, who joked "Say something that only the real Jimmy would say..." On his show the following day, Fallon made fun of the rumors in a skit described by ''Vulture'' as "[[tent revival]]-esque".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Squires |first=Bethy |date=November 16, 2022 |title=After #RIPJimmyFallon, Jimmy Fallon Is Back From the Dead |url=https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/ripjimmyfallon-jimmy-fallon-twitter-not-dead.html |access-date=November 17, 2022 |website=Vulture |language=en-us |archive-date=November 17, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221117070421/https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/ripjimmyfallon-jimmy-fallon-twitter-not-dead.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In September 2023, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' published an article about Fallon and ''The Tonight Show'' workplace culture titled "Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'", based on interviews with 16 former and then-active employees. It alleged that Fallon mistreated his staff, acted erratically, was prone to outbursts, and contributed to a toxic workplace culture. According to former employees, Fallon's behavior on a given day seemed to be related to whether he was allegedly hungover from the previous night. The abuse led to many employees referring to the special guests' dressing rooms as the ''crying rooms'' because that is where the employees would go to let out their emotions. [[NBC]] released a statement, defending the program, but they did not address the allegations against Fallon.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Yandoli|first=Krystie Lee|title=Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-toxic-work-environment-crying-rooms-nbc-1234819421/|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=September 7, 2023|access-date=September 7, 2023|archive-date=September 12, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230912123228/https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-toxic-work-environment-crying-rooms-nbc-1234819421/|url-status=live}}</ref> The day of the article's publication, he apologized to his staff on a Zoom call, saying: "It's embarrassing and I feel so bad.
