Only Prince could be the climax of an extensive namedrop session like that. There wasn't even a joke or an amazing feat outside of what he normally does at the end. He just had to be there, and it was a story.

I love when he tells stories, he's so good at it.

You can tell it still hasn't sunk in for him and he feels like he's in a dream. Likeable guy :)

This is the magic of Jimmy, he seems to always put these celebs at ease and they spontaneously get on stage with him or play silly games on the show. Love him.

He name drops a million people like it's nothing, but once it's time to mention Prince, even A list celebrities become humble fans. Prince was one of a kind, to live such a private life, yet be the top of the list everywhere, that's unachievable by anyone but him. Rest in peace, you God among humans.

A lot of people criticize Jimmy for fawning too much. What's the alternative? He could be a mean-spirited, cynical asshole who always cuts everyone down behind their back. I love the way he is. He does seem sincere, maybe people think he's faking it. I don't think so, I really think he's just got a real positive outlook. Why else would he laugh all the time? Hope he doesn't change.

One of the greatest "had to be there" stories ever told. I love how it crecendos with Prince, RIP.

I'm sure Mr Fallon has to pinch himself.... DAILY...... at what a ride he is on..... But his has earned it. And his story was actually interesting in the way he told it too........excellent

that prince floating bit kills me

It's real cool to see Jimmy Fallon (who's famous in his own right) being starstruck. How cool to be able to jam with some legends... I mean, Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Debbie Harry, PRINCE... WOW... What a night.

I love Jimmy's enthusiasm, it's so infectious! I wasn't even there, and I'm all pumped about the party.

I remember watching this episode of Jimmy when it first aired, and how I had the goosebumps listening to Jimmy tell this amazing recollection . I had to find this today after hearing the sad news of Prince. He is definitely in a peaceful place.

I remember watching this episode too. I have been looking for the episode (which possibly aired the same week).where he interviewed this guy (who did a little dance coming out) and he also described his time at the afterparty. I remember him saying that he kept Jimmy's wife company, and she said "omg we have to get a drink to Jimmy", so they made their way to the front to give Jimmy that drink etc. I just remember the look on Jimmy's face while the dude was telling that story and he looked like he wanted to punch him for some reason. I cant remember who the dude was though 🤔. He kinda looked like Andy Cohen, but it wasn't him.

PRINCE is the definition of special. RIP.

No one can tell a story like Jimmy. 😊

I love how excited and grateful he is about the whole experience. It's like his sense of awe and wonder of being a celebrity and around them has never worn off. I don't think it ever will. Love ya' Jimmy!

I love how excited he is about everything and that he really is amazed by it all. You'd think that because he meets celebs on a daily basis and that he's a celeb himself this would be a "normal" evening for him. I smiled during the entire video! He's just so enthusiastic and appreciative. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!

If there is ever a way to die and come back as somebody else, I want to be Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy is such a renaissance man as far as an entertainer goes. I wanna get famous just to get on his show to tell him that. He's such a great guy. Bloody hilarious.

What a nice, sincere story. Thanks Jimmy, your enthusiasm for life is infectious.

Jimmy deserves all that joy! Wow, to be there to see all of that would have been amazing! So glad he shared the story!

such an awesome story - almost like the best dream ever. Well done Mr Fallon

The 40th SNL was awesome loved it. Jimmy and Justin's cold open was epic :)

JIMMY KILLS ME. "PURPLE SMOKE. FLOATING. FLOATING. JET PACKS."

I can watch this over and over again. Just a brilliant clip of the recount of something so amazing, and someone so deserving, while also including as many people as possible. ... Thanks, Mr. Jimmy. Mr. Fallon. Or dare I?..The Prince whisper, Er....

That whole story was fucking amazing! when jimmy fallon is an old man imagine how many great memories hes going to be able to look back on

oh my god, that group of people! seinfeld, paul, lorne, jimmy, justin, jack, chris and eddie. I would have died if i were around them.

Ok ,I'll say it again...how amazing is Jimmy ,what did we do before him,we are lucky and I am so happy to at least get to witness his charm and talent ,thank you

I love your authenticity in this storytelling session Jimmy. That story of that night will stand the test of time.

I love how excited he is! Sounds like an amazing party, so jealous lol

Jimmy was building up because nobody really meant anything until the Master came up and took over so the Party really could start ..His name is Prince 💜💜💜

OMG, I get chills when he just says Prince! How f-ing amazing!

Rest in Peace, Prince. What a legend.

That Bill Murray head tilt was spot on.

Greatest moment in comedy history. To have all that comedic talent under one roof and to share and bond the way they did is historic. That was lightening in a bottle.

I saw a few vine videos of Jimmy singing, but it would have been epic if someone had recorded the entire jam session!

Sounds like the after-party would have made good tv too... I loved the reunion show; the memorial for those gone really hit me because they were like old friends....Gilda still makes me tear up. I have watched SNL from 1975 to now...

The creative love, no better drug, no higher place. Glad for you guys!

it's crazy how much an effect SNL has on my family. I'm 14 years old and I grew up with those people. So many of our family's catchphrases come from SNL. Watching some of the classics like Barry Gibb Talk Show, Stefon, Seth Meyers weekend updates, and the people like Chris Farley and David Spade, Jimmy, Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, Bill Hader, Will Ferrell etc. it's just amazing! I'm so proud to be in this family that's been influenced unbelievably my SNL.

I have to say, epic story. Thanks, Jimmy, for sharing.
