She was the one I was always trying to make laugh.

The story about his mom squeezing his hand 3 times to say \u201cI love you\u201d when he was a kid, and then him squeezing her hand in the hospital \u2013 he hadn\u2019t told any of us that story\u2026<\/p>\n<p>First, a quick word about Taylor Swift. She was not scheduled to do our show today. But we wanted something special for this first show back, so we asked her on a complete whim, since she had been in town doing SNL. She said yes with zero hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>She sang \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day.\u201d No one had heard it. Suddenly she sings the line, \u201cSqueeze my hand 3 times in the back of the taxi.\u201d I nearly gasped. Tears. I think everyone in the audience started sobbing. I could see Jimmy silhouetted at his desk dabbing his eyes with a tissue. We all lost it. It was a beautiful coincidence in a beautiful performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold on to your memories, they will hold on to you,\u201d Taylor sang. That hug between Jimmy and Taylor after the song was 100% real emotion. Whatever you think of Taylor, she did something beautiful for Jimmy and our show today, and we\u2019re forever grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Taylor, the Roots, Higgins, our whole staff and crew, and to all the FalPals, fans, and everyone who reached out to and supported Jimmy and his family. I can tell you it meant everything to him<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift made an unscheduled appearance on \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d on Monday night to perform a song from her new album and helped honor Jimmy Fallon\u2026 Taylor&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
