Jimmy Fallon was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York, and is the son of Gloria (ne Feeley)

and
James W. Fallon.[1][2][3] Fallon's ancestry is five-eighths Irish, a quarter German, and one-eighth
Norwegian; his paternal grandmother, Luise Schalla, was from Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Lower
Saxony, Germany, while one of his maternal great-grandfathers, Hans Hovelsen, was an immigrant
from Fredrikstad, Norway.[4][5]
A Vietnam War veteran,[6] his father spent his adolescence singing in street-corner doo-wop groups,
and shortly after his son's birth, was working as a machine repairman for IBMin Kingston, New York.
[7]

In preparation, the family relocated nearby to Saugerties, New York. Fallon has described his

childhood as "idyllic,"[8] while his parents have been noted as overprotective. He and his sister,
Gloria, were unable to leave their home,[9] and they had to ride their bicycles in the backyard. [10]
Fallon attended St. Mary of the Snow, a Roman Catholic elementary school in Saugerties. He
considered being a priest, inspired by his experiences as an altar boy.[10] He became more interested
in comedy instead. He spent many nights recording the radio program The Dr. Demento Show on
a reel-to-reel recorder, where he was exposed to both comedy and music.[8] Fallon developed an
obsession with the late-night comedy program Saturday Night Live (SNL) as a teenager, watching it
religiously.[11] He grew up watching the show, viewing "the clean parts" that his parents taped for him.
He and Gloria would re-enact sketches like "The Festrunk Brothers" with friends. [11] Fallon was such
a fan that he made a weekly event of watching the show in his dormitory during college.
In his teens, he impressed his parents with different impersonations, including actor James Cagney[12]
[13]

and comedian Dana Carvey.[14] He was also musically inclined, and started playing guitar at age

thirteen. He would go on to perform comedy and music in contests and shows. [13] By his junior high
years, he was labeled a class clown, to his teachers' disdain, but also described as generally "nice
and well-mannered."[15] At Saugerties High School, from which he graduated in 1992, he was a
performer in most stage productions, and was twice a class social director.[15] He won a young
comedian's contest with an impression of Pee-wee Herman.[11] He then attended The College of
Saint Rose in Albany, New York, where he was first a computer science major, later switching to
communications in his senior year. He was an average student, often taking stand-up gigs on the
weekends.[8] Fallon would often board buses from his aunt's in Fort Hamilton to Caroline's comedy
club in Times Square to perform sets.[16]
"Totul este organic si foarte bine gandit, un echilibru intre proteine de calitate si alimente bogate in
nutrienti. Toul este proaspat, nimic procesat, doar shake-ul proteic, atunci cand decidem sa avem un
astfel de shake", a spus Tracy.
E timpul pentru distractie. Imi adun prietenii si mergem toti la Cafe Deko pentru o seara de rasete, buna dispozitie si
o sticla de vin rosu demisec. Brusc ne dam seama ca ne este foarte foame si fara sa ne pese de calorii, diete si
programe de slabit, luam o cina tarzie intr-un restaurant cu specific italian. Comand Linguine cu fructe de mare si inca
un pahar cu vin :).

Seara se incheie cu o discutie spumoasa, multa buna dispozitie, glume si cu EL. Care in sfarsit isi face curaj sa se
ofere sa ma duca acasa (doar atat, nu-l invit sus il pup de noapte buna si il las la usa ca in filmele americane).

GIn February 1997, Lopez starred alongside Jack Nicholson and Stephen Dorff in the neo-

noir thriller Blood and Wine.[28] It was a commercial failure; the $26 million production budget was
matched with a domestic gross of $1 million at the box office.[29] Despite this, the film received
generally positive reviews from critics.[30] Lopez starred as the title role of the Selena biopic of the
same name in March.[31] Despite having previously worked with the film's director on My Family,
Lopez was subjected to an intense auditioning process before she was cast in the film. [32] With a
production budget of $20 million, the film grossed a total of $35 million domestically.[33] Kenneth
Turan of the Los Angeles Times stated that even in the "forgettable films" Money Train, and Jack,
Lopez's "presence and ability made her seem just one role away from stardom" and
with Selena she's "seized the opportunity and turned in an incandescent presentation that is
especially strong during the film's numerous musical numbers". He concluded by calling the film not
just a celebration Jimmy Fallon was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York, and is the son of Gloria

and Jon Voight.[37] With a production budget of $45 million, the film grossed a total of $137 million
worldwide, becoming a commercial success.[38] Lopez starred alongside Sean Penn and Billy Bob
Thornton in the crime film U Turn in October. The film, which is based on the novel Stray
Dogs by John Ridley, received generally positive reception from critics.[39] In June, Lopez starred
opposite George Clooney in Out of Sight, Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's
novel of the same name (1996).[40] Cast as a deputy federal marshal who falls for a charming
criminal, Lopez won rave reviews for her performance and became the first Latina actress to earn
over $1 million for a role.[41] With a production budget of $48 million, the film grossed a total of $78
million worldwide, becoming a moderate commercial success. [42] Lopez provided the voice of Azteca
in the computer-animated film Antz in October.[43] With a production budget of $105 million, the film
grossed a total of $172 million worldwide.[44]
Lopez's debut single, "If You Had My Love", was released in May 1999, as she began to ready her
first album.[45][46] Lopez became the first artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 with their debut single
since Britney Spears did so with her single, "...Baby One More Time", four months prior.[47] During
production of her debut album On the 6, Lopez was aware that she received her recording contract
on the premise of her looks and having an already established name in the entertainment industry,
and wanted to prove she had musical talent.[48] Prior to the debut of her music, critics wondered why
she would take the risk of launching a music career. It was noted that: "If the album was a flop, not
only would it embarrass Lopez, but it might even damage her career."[49] "Waiting for Tonight", the
third single from On the 6, is widely considered to be Lopez's best song.[50] Lopez's musical success
came as a surprise to critics; its launch made the "popular actor even more popular". Both the music
industry and the public became intrigued by "this woman who seemed to have so many different

talents".[49] By the end of 1999, Lopez successfully converted herself from a film star to a pop star.
[51]

She joined a select few in achieving this feat, becoming the first since Vanessa Williams (1992)

and Martika (1989).[47]
