And for Norm’s reaction when he heard he had made senior producer’s cry:
'I said, “You think I shouldn’t do the show?”. He said: “People are crying”, [Fallon said].
'I said, “People are crying?” “Yeah”, he said, “my senior producers are crying”.
'I said, “Good Lord, bring them in and let me talk to them”. I didn’t even know I had the capacity to make people cry. So I felt so bad from that comment.
‘Jimmy said, “Come back whatever you want but I think it will hurt the show tonight”. I said, “Jimmy, I don’t want to hurt your show. That’s the last thing I want to do is hurt your show”.’
