    Thank you to the Houston Chior, Jimmy Fallon and crew for bringing us all an uplifting moment in times of disaster, uncertainty and hate. Just the reminder we all need.

    I legit think Jimmy Fallon has the best late night talk show. The music and topics are current, They embrace Hip hop alot more than other shows.. They have funny skits and different portions of the show that are creative and funny.. I applaud you sir.. Keep that shit up.. #PrayersForHouston

    This is so touching, thank you to everyone at the Tonight Show for reminding everyone ( not that they should need a reminder) that there are STILL nice, generous people in the world. In these uncertain times when there's so much hatered out there ( there's always been hatered but even more so now it seems) it's nice to hear some stories like Jimmy told of people helping people and strangers helping strangers.

  • @cheerfuljuan
    @cheerfuljuan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +184

    I love how positive this show is. The other late night hosts are cool, but lately I feel like they've all become obsessed with who can say the most negative thing about the president. That's cool if you want that, but I love how this show chooses to focus on pure positivity instead of getting muddled down in cynicism. Thanks Jimmy

      Juan Luna He's definitely the only late night show I watch.. How old are you? I think that my generation (I'm 26) is much more inclined to like this show above other choices. He's funny and relevant. The others I don't really get at all. He's always funny.

    • @theonejokeking3191
      @theonejokeking3191 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      paul chandler Oohh yeah I had to unsub from lots of shows bc it got sooo old. I also think he probably listens to the viewers more as I'm convinced his show caters to millenials and we're 1. On the internet for our viewing so comments are feedback
      2. All sick of political bs and don't want to see it.

    Thank you Jimmy and all the crew of the Tonight Show! Houston truly appreciates everything and everyone who has help us during the storm and for the recovery. I have lived in Houston all my life and we have been through a number of hurricanes and tropical storms but this was the worst of them all. I work in the Texas Medical Center during and after the storm I save lives for a living but I never felt so helpless when this storm literally stop this city. But this storm just brought out the best of Houston. Neighbors helping neighbors. The storm did not discriminate. Nor did we. Praying for Florida and everyone that happened to be in the path of hurricane Irma.

    This is why I still love Jimmy all along. When all America are obsessed with President's sarcasm, condemning him as a routine daily life he has held on to love and positivity. The result was his viewers flunked and he was criticized so harsh on letting Trump loose. I read so many hate comments about him from haters. Plus, It's like Hollywood turn back on him too. Still, he hasn't changed, keeping love and positivity, no matter what.
    Then, on Jacksonville tragedy, he made a serious and very genuine speech about Trump, no mocking, no sarcasm, just a speech from a father's heart. When his show was on hiatus, I felt, as his long time fan since late night, that he would donate before the show was back on air, because if love and positivity is his core value he would. And I was right.
    Now I know his stand, no matter what criticism, circumstance or risk, he's still a man of people, of love and hope, unwavering. I'm proud to be his fan.

    Who are the 8 motherfuckers that "disliked" this video? Like, I want to know who they are. What happened in their lives to make them "dislike" a video of a supportive song, sung amazingly to raise the spirits of millions in the wake of such a tragedy? Houston has shown how we're all Americans, regardless of race, culture, history or religious affiliation. Those 8 people's lives must be so miserable, they can't stand anyone being happy if they can't be.
