"Kattan knocked Will's sunglasses off and I could see the eyes of a lunatic and I started laughing, and then that's what got my reputation as the guy who laughs during all the sketches. That was great, Debby Downer, I was a part of that sketch. I was really solid on that until the way, way, way end."
Throughout the years, Fallon has worked on many comedy shows with big names, reported People.
