Weekly News- Jimmy Fallon emotionally pays tribute to his mother

Jimmy Fallon is a famous American comedian who was born in 1974 at New York. He hosts a popular comedian show called Tonight Show. He had to cancel lasts weeks episode so that he could be by his mother side, until her very last breath.

Jimmy Fallon's mother was named Gloria Fallon and she died at the age of 68 years old. Jimmy Fallon described her as "The best audience" and adding, "She was the one i was always trying to make laugh". And Jimmy Fallon has a close relationship with his mother, as suggested by this quote below:

Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to his mother by emotionally sharing a story about him and his mother:

"When we were little, my mum would walk us to the store - me and my sister - and we would hold hands. And she would squeeze my hand three times and say, 'I love you,' and I would squeeze back, 'I love you too.'

This can be viewed through this video below:



I have chosen this piece of news to highlights the heartwarming relationship between Jimmy Fallon and his mother. Furthermore this news could link to my course work because it represents how men view their mothers, suggesting a positive/negative relationship which could reference stereotypes which my course work explores.

In my opinion Jimmy Fallon was being sincere about his relationship with his mother, and he just wanted to pay tribute by sharing a personal experience which represents Jimmy Fallon's respect and love for his past away mother.

  2. Great choice of article, and highlighting the link to your coursework and the representation of gender stereotypes in the media. What's the source? Perhaps you could pick a few key quotes from the article and explain why they've been used (to portray Fallon in a certain light, to make the audience feel a certain way)?

  3. This is a good weekly news, however you could improve by talking about what representation this comes under and use CCCEO. Also you need to state the source of the article.

  4. Your weekly news is very information, however, I would recommend inserting the link of the website you found this information from, and make sure you use CCCEO when typing it up so that it links to your coursework effectively.
