Jimmy Fallon Reveals Status of Holiday Album Months Before Christmas Season: 'Should Be a Good Mix'

Jimmy Fallon will present his "singer side" through a holiday album.

The Christmas season is yet to come, but Fallon recently surprised everyone with an announcement regarding his upcoming music project.

Speaking with E! News, "The Tonight Show" host revealed he plans to release it during this year's holiday season.

"I've been working on one for a couple of years," he said. "It's silly, there's comedy songs, there's traditional songs on there, there's a couple of duets. It should be a good mix."

Fallon is a renowned comedian and TV host that those stints outshined his career as a singer.

Before revealing his festive-themed album, he notably worked with Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion for his holiday song "It Was A... (Masked Christmas)."

He told Billboard's Pop Shop Podcast that, while making the show, he already planned not to do something that would sound like Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

Instead of doing so, Fallon reportedly thought of a new idea and created the pre-pandemic Christmas song.

In 2022, Fallon showed off his singing skills again when he worked with Dolly Parton for "Almost Too Early for Christmas."

Aside from his Christmas songs and albums, he also worked on different types of music, having started his love for music when he was 13. He previously collaborated with Neil Young, Justin Timberlake, and Carey.

Fallon also released his first-ever album, "The Bathroom Wall," in 2002. A decade later, he dropped "Blow Your Pants Off" which won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

Jimmy Fallon Is in the Middle of Legal Issue

Amid good news, Fallon is also dealing with a headache after he became a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed against Yuga Labs. The filing claimed that the Bored Apes - a knockoff NFT collection that mimics Bored Ape Yacht Club non-fungible tokens - were "misleadingly promoted" and resulted in financial damage to the defendants.

Yuga Labs then filed a lawsuit for trademark infringement, false advertising, and unfair competition.

The host created it alongside Jeremy Cahen, but they repeatedly said that their collection was satirical art. Thus, it has protection from the trademark-infringement case, per Yahoo! Finance. He mentioned it on two episodes of his show.

His lawyer, Dana Seshens, said that the motion should be denied, arguing that it places a burden on Fallon.
