Jimmy Fallon Impersonates McCartney, Springsteen, Dave Matthews and More on ‘Hamilton’ Musical
Long before Jimmy Fallon ever hosted a late night talk show, he was one of the stronger impersonators on the comedic circuit (he still employs a “Wheel of Impressions” game on The Tonight Show) which makes this latest video not at all surprising. Fallon, along with The Roots drummer Questlove, paid a visit to Lin-Manuel Miranda on the set of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, and Miranda put Fallon to the test to the tune of “You’ll Be Back” from the show.
Throughout the nearly four-minute video, Fallon switches from McCartney to Rufus Wainwright, Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Dave Matthews, Barry Gibb, Dylan, Bono and Bowie all at the drop of a hat. Impressively, he closes with not a Bono impression, but a pose taken from Bono’s completely over-the-top stage persona. In the background, Questlove clearly enjoyed it.
