Fallon previously admitted that fatherhood has completely changed him for the better.
"My biggest revelation is how much I ended up caring for other people's kids, if that makes any sense. You get it more," he revealed in a 2020 interview. "When I didn't have kids, if I heard a crying baby in the restaurant, I would think, 'Can you stop the crying and go around the block?' Now I would be like, 'Just give me the baby — how can I help? I've been there.'"
The television star also confessed that being a parent has made him more in touch with himself. "I was always kind of emotional — I think it's my Irish-Catholic upbringing. Now, Hallmark is for me. I'm ready for a good cry," he joked.
