If you’ve ever watched an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, you already know that Jimmy Fallon is famous for his infectious laughter — sometimes too famous. For years, viewers have joked about Fallon’s tendency to laugh uncontrollably at everything, with many calling out his “fake laugh” as a recurring bit.

🎤 But this week, country superstar Blake Shelton called it out to Jimmy’s face — and the moment instantly went viral.

Blake Shelton Calls Out Jimmy Fallon’s “Fake Laugh”

While appearing on The Tonight Show to promote his new album, For Recreational Use Only, Blake Shelton shared stories about working with Post Malone on their hit 2024 track “Pour Me A Beer.” He praised Posty’s energy and joy, saying:

“You can’t be around that guy without having a good time… He’s so excited about everything.”

Then came the unexpected twist.

Shelton looked straight at Jimmy Fallon and said, “You guys are a lot alike now that I think about it.”

😆 Fallon, of course, responded with a big laugh, asking, “We are?”

To which Blake deadpanned:

“Except, he’s genuine about his excitement.”

Jimmy Fallon Left Speechless in Viral TV Moment

The audience immediately erupted in laughter and gasps at Shelton’s cheeky burn. Fallon, known for his signature over-the-top reactions, was left momentarily speechless — even slapping the desk while laughing, before pulling a mock-serious face.

The hilarious exchange perfectly captured what many fans have been joking about online: Is Jimmy Fallon’s laugh genuine or is it part of the late-night host persona?

Blake’s comment — “Except, he’s genuine” — playfully threw shade at Fallon’s often-criticized habit of laughing at everything, sparking an explosion of social media reactions.
