Many Internet users joined the memorials for Fallon after realising how many people had been paying tribute to him on Twitter. As a result of a domino effect, the hashtag #RIPJimmyFallon became popular on Twitter.
How did the Rumors about Jimmy Fallon’s Death Started?
Jimmy Fallon’s passing was announced in a fake tweet that included a photo of the TV personality and his dog and the caption, “Our announcement of Jimmy Fallon’s passing as a late-night legend, husband, and father of two comes with heavy hearts. 1923-2022.”
Many users posted prayers and well wishes for the American TV celebrity as a result. Many of the users even possessed blue ticks. Others began to think Fallon had passed away suddenly as a result of this.
Thankfully, the rumour was entirely untrue. After the allegation spread, Fallon appeared on The Tonight Show and even urged Elon Musk to delete the hashtag #RIPJimmyFallon.
Debunking the Death Hoax of Jimmy Fallon
It was easy to point out that the reports that Jimmy Fallon had passed away were untrue, even without Jimmy Fallon explicitly stating that he hadn’t.
In the widely shared article, the comedian’s birth year was given in error. Even though it said he was born in 1923, Fallon was actually born in 1974. Although Fallon is 48 years old, the phoney post stated his age as 99.
Fallon is a massive name in American television, which was another factor. If God forbid the news was accurate, someone from his representatives would stand up and deliver the message, not a parody.

With almost 13,000 tweets, the hashtag was the second-most popular trend around midnight on November 15. More than twice as many existed by this morning.
