'There was no food in the stores. All we could buy was frozen shrimp,' Fallon recalls the lockdown days
Jimmy Fallon is touching on his life, one year after COVID-19.
In a special episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this Friday, the show host ishonoring the one-year anniversary of the pandemic.
Speaking to PEOPLE ahead of his show, Fallon went down the memory lane when everything was 'crazy.'
"I wish we wrote all this stuff down. Because it's like, I remember it, but it was so crazy, you almost forget what life was like, it was crazy how much went down. There was no food in the stores. All we could buy was frozen shrimp. The police would come knock on your door if you had an extra car in the driveway, thinking you were having a party. People freaking out about toilet paper. Drive-by birthday parties. That was all happening, you know, while we're trying to figure out what's going on with the kids with Zoom school and can you even see your parents? And on top of that, we have a show to put on. That phase was bizarre."
However, amid all the fiasco, the moments that Fallon really cherishes are with his daughters. According to the 46-year-old, lockdown helped him bond with his two daughters, Winnie, and Franny.
"I really bonded with my daughters during that time because I was never normally home that long," he says. "Usually I'm at work, so I got to really wake up and go to bed with them every single night for months. I think there was a real bond there that we'll never forget."
