Jimmy Fallon isn't dead — despite what some Twitter posts have people believing!
The rumors apparently all started last night when someone jokingly tweeted that Jimmy had died, but included a photo of fellow late night host James Corden.
"Gone but not forgotten. Rest easy king 🕊🥀 Sept 19, 1974-Nov 15, 2022 #RIPJimmyFallon," several tweets read.

It wasn't long before #RIPJimmyFallon began trending anyway, sparking concern among some fans.
Thankfully, Jimmy was quick to step in and set the record straight...and ask Elon Musk for a little help clearing things up.
"Elon, can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon," Jimmy tweeted.
Elon, can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon
Despite not even tagging Elon, the Twitter CEO noticed the message — but wasn't very much help.
"Fix what?" Elon simply replied, seemingly not understanding that Jimmy wanted the hashtag removed.
@jimmyfallon Fix what?
Hours after his initial tweet, Elon followed up again, directing Jimmy to the Community Notes team.
@jimmyfallon Sounds like a job for @CommunityNotes!
While the hashtag is still around, it now seems as though most people thankfully understand it's a joke.
