My mom and I were talking on the phone for the third time that day and she actually said, “We don’t talk enough.” #MomQuotes

Fallon has spoken out numerous times about how he’s extremely close with his mother, even telling us a few years ago that she “calls him every day with notes” about his performances. Per Deadline, tapings of The Tonight Show have been canceled for the entire week of November 6–10. Reruns will be aired instead. “On behalf of everyone at NBC, we extend our deepest condolences to Jimmy and all his family at this time of enormous loss,” a statement reads. “Our hearts go out to Jimmy and everyone else whose lives were so touched by Gloria Fallon’s love, kindness and support.”
