Summary
- Jimmy Kimmel makes up fake rumor about Jimmy Fallon having a secret family
- Kimmel and Fallon team up for Captain Morgan's Super Bowl campaign
- Comedians maintain friendship despite late night competition
On October 14, 2025, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel took the opportunity to poke fun at his counterpart, Jimmy Fallon, during an episode of "On Brand With Jimmy Fallon." Kimmel, who is 57 years old, appeared via video on the Jumbotron at the stadium where the show was filming, interrupting Fallon, 51, as he was discussing a Super Bowl campaign for Captain Morgan.
Kimmel used his guest spot to reflect on his friendship with Fallon, noting that despite their late night rivalry, they are "a lot like you guys" and are "forced to go head to head every night." He then proceeded to lie to Fallon, telling the contestants that Fallon has a "secret family in Miami."
The two comedians have a long history of supporting each other, even when faced with professional challenges. In September 2025, Fallon showed his support for Kimmel when his show was temporarily suspended by ABC. Despite their competitive nature, Kimmel and Fallon have maintained a strong friendship over the years.
The "On Brand With Jimmy Fallon" episode, which aired on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET and Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC before streaming the next day on Peacock, featured the two late night hosts teaming up for a Captain Morgan Super Bowl campaign aimed at reaching younger generations and bringing friends together.
