His television work includes a featured role in the Emmy®-winning miniseries “Band of Brothers.”
Fallon, who started out as a stand-up comedian, was nominated for a 2003 Grammy award for Best Spoken Comedy Album for his record “The Bathroom Wall.” He has also enjoyed successful stints as the host of the 2001 MTV Movie Awards™ and the 2002 Video Music Awards™. In addition, Fallon (and his sister Gloria) co-wrote the book I Hate This Place: The Pessimist’s, Guide to Life, which was recently re-released by Warner Books.
