===Health problems=== On June 26, 2015, Fallon suffered a [[avulsion injury|ring avulsion injury]] when he tripped over a rug in his home and tried to break his fall by holding onto a countertop, causing his finger to nearly get torn off by his wedding ring. He was taken to the emergency room and then sent to a surgeon who performed [[microsurgery]] on his finger. He spent 10 days in the [[Intensive care unit|ICU]] before going home. He discussed this on the July 13 episode of ''The Tonight Show'' and thanked the doctors and nurses who helped him. A month later, he was still expecting to spend another eight weeks without any feeling in his finger.<ref>{{cite news |last=Seemayer |first=Zach |date=July 13, 2015 |title=Jimmy Fallon Returns to 'Tonight Show,' Details Horrifying Finger Injury |publisher=Entertainment Tonight |url=https://www.etonline.com/tv/167909_jimmy_fallon_returns_to_tonight_show_details_horrifying_finger_injury}}</ref> In an interview with ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine in September 2015, he explained that his finger still had limited mobility and that another surgery would be required.<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=September 17, 2015 |title=Billboard Cover: Jimmy Fallon on His A-List Guests and Runaway 'Tonight Show' Success: 'The Show Is Basically Everything I Like' |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/6699719/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-success-guests-stephen-colbert |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=September 22, 2015}}</ref> He reiterated this point at the [[67th Primetime Emmy Awards|67th Emmy Awards]] on September 20, 2015, when he appeared in public without his finger bandaged for the first time since the accident.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jimmy Fallon: Donald Trump Wanted No Rehearsal For 'The Tonight Show' Mirror Sketch |url=http://www.accesshollywood.com/jimmy-fallon-donald-trump-wanted-no-rehearsal-for-the-tonight-show-mirror-sketch_video_2972037 |access-date=September 22, 2015 |website=Access Hollywood}}</ref> On January 4, 2022, Fallon announced that he had tested positive for [[COVID-19]] over the holiday season.
