Jimmy Fallon debuted as “Tonight Show” host last night, strutting his hip hop moves with Will Smith, receiving a star-studded pay off for his being right about hosting the show, and introducing a U2 performance on the top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
And social media loved it, as #JimmyFallon is now trending on Twitter and Facebook the day after the big debut.
From celebrities to politicians, Fallon is getting rave reviews on social.
