With the entire gestation process of the royal couple followed by the world, and Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy gratuitously publicized to boost ratings on their show, how refreshing is it when a celebrity doesn’t ram it down our throats that his wife is pregnant? Though Jim Fallon had been making jokes about the royal couple and their miracle of birth – amazingly non-newsworthy in itself, considering that we were all born by a similar process – he himself did not mention that he was a father to be. A few days later, in the early hours of a Tuesday morning, he became the father of a little girl, and was reportedly “overjoyed about the arrival of their beautiful daughter.”
“Welcome to ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,’ I’m your host, Dada,” the proud host opened.
“She’s 5 pounds, 9 ounces — I got it down to the ounce,” he said. “That’s how I weigh myself as well. I’ve got to lose a couple of ounces!”
“It’s been a crazy couple of days … actually it’s just one day. It feels like it’s been a four-day conference or something. It’s very taxing on the fathers. I don’t know how it is for the mothers, but very taxing.”
Nevertheless, the comedian and late night show host was proud and happy to be a father, as his wife joins the likes of Penelope Cruz and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and in fact much of the world of ordinary people, in giving birth to a child recently.
