Jimmy Fallon is a Gleek: 'It's the best show on television'

Jimmy Fallon is a busy guy thanks to his nightly gig as host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (which celebrates its one-year anniversary on March 2!). But Fallon still makes time for his favorite TV shows which include Lost, Survivor, and, yes, Glee. In fact, you could call Fallon a Gleek. “I think Glee is the best show on television,” says the host. “It’s so good!” Fallon particularly loved the fall finale when Lea Michele belted out “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” Says Fallon, “When she did that Barbra Streisand song, I freaked out! I freaked out! I was like this is better than Barbra.” But he stresses that he’s a fan of Glee‘s entire ensemble. “Everyone’s got such an interesting face on that show,” he says. “I love everyone’s face! I could watch these guys forever.”

Fallon loved Glee so much in fact that it inspired Late Night‘s newest comedy spoof, 6-bee, which features its own elaborate music number (and a cameo by SNL‘s Abby Elliot). It’s pretty awesome. Watch below…

Do you like Fallon even more now that he’s admitted his Gleek status, PopWatchers? What do you think of 6-bee?

    They should have capitalized on Abby Elliot’s resemblance to Jayma Mays. Missed opportunity!

    Why haven’t you had Lea on your show. Get on it Jimmy.

  • Charles

    Glee is a good show but very uneven and Jimmy Fallon’s show flat out sucks.

  • rhonda

    I think Jimmy Fallon’s show is continually getting better and better. It just took awhile for it to settle in. Too bad NBC didn’t give Conan time to settle in, and find an even bigger audience before throwing in the towel.

    Fact: Glee is the most overrated show on television after 30 rock

  • james

    Abby Elliot reminds me so much of Jemma Mays- yes total missed opportunity IMO. But still a very parody, but it wasn’t making fun of Glee so much as giving it an homage :)
