Before he started whipping his hair with Bruce Springsteen, late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon made his name as a member of NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live,’ where he often had difficulty keeping a straight face. In a new interview, Fallon recalls why he broke up in the middle of the famous “More Cowbell” sketch, which aired in 2000.
