His humor also falls more wholesome as compared to other show hosts. Yes, there are politics involved. President Donald Trump is one of his joke recipients. However, such issue provides comic relief than sparking any more controversies.
However, this is not the case very recently. The unfortunate events in Charlottesville, Virginia enrage just about anyone not only in the United States but even the rest of the world. Worse, President Donald Trump took two days before commenting on such issue. Even after his alleged condemnation, many think that his words were vague and did not directly condemn such horrific act.

Then came Jimmy Fallon
He is not one to shut up and move on amidst the chaos that's happening in Virginia. Like many celebrities, he felt the need to make a stand and speak up. He used his show as means of letting out his disgust over the Charlottesville incident. It was short, on point and heartfelt. The video even showed him somehow choking, trying hard to control his tears.
Throughout the video, he kept a straight face. However, deep and profound emotions rule his thoughts.
He shared how worried he is for his two children aged two and four. His kids do not know hate. He relayed the story of how they enjoy playing with other friends of different background and race. He finds it troubling to explain such attacks to them.
He went on to continue that ch
He went on saying his concern for kids having to look up to someone. The Charlottesville incident promotes hate and sheer racism. Children who witness such blatant attack performed by their elders may carry it on. If this continues, then hate and racism become a vicious cycle.
Will there be an effect after his heartfelt monologue?
To a certain degree, there will be an effect. Viewers show support and condemnation of Charlottesville, Virginia attacks. Other celebrities took the cue and did the same thing in their shows and social media accounts.
After all, Jimmy Fallon is just one American who never supports such evil acts. His only edge is his celebrity status. His fan base instantly becomes agents of change.
Unfortunately, people can only do so much. Strong support from the nation's leaders come to play. How can the Charlottesville incident stop if the President does not do much about it? Jimmy Fallon is just one of the millions who abhor the attacks.
