[@naomieadair5635]

"...and thank you for your daughter!" Lol!

[@oumaimacherrat3994]

yeah ikr lol

[@rizzt007]

ahahahahahhaha,,,, dats true...

[@vervelingsfilmpjes]

any guy who can say i love you so much to his father in law is a good guy

[@MrAlvarez23]

That was so sweet. He deft love his father in law

[@vervelingsfilmpjes]

Alexander Alvarez i know right !! he's awesome !

[@MrAlvarez23]

rosalie yeah to say that to your father in law must be really important person in his life

[@bcaye]

Not to mention kissing him on national television. Jimmy is awesome. His FIL seems like a pretty cool guy as well.

[@swankelly]

Yeah, I thought that was pretty awesome.

[@DigitalMagicStudios]

"I love you, Buddy." "I love you more." wow...That's awesome.

[@SaeedHusain72]

'Thank you for your service, and thank you for your daughter' Level: Jimmy Fallon

[@MyRaptorz]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR DAUGHTER!!

[@flala2261]

MyRaptorz lolz😄

[@nickdagenral2619]

I was weak after hearing that

[@picaresqueseeker]

So sweet. His father in law was all teary.

[@annerchisline9641]

BotRazmic So was one of the viewers out here watching this.

[@K0ljaW0dann]

all the tears where gone when jimmy said "and thank you for your daughter" XD

[@CharaBum28]

I can't picture Jimmy Fallon ever being a jerk or angry at anything. He's such a cool guy.

[@henhenhen19]

But can you imagine him being fake? No... Noooooo

[@Hollins23]

I love him, too!

[@cheymilion3168]

I think like every human he's been angry and an asshole, I mean he gets more attention bc he is famous. For those of us who struggle with addiction we understand him.

[@marksilas2437]

thats exactly what people used to say about Ellen.....

[@EvenFive]

Aged like milk.

[@peachesandpoets]

He's such a sweet guy. Who cares about his giggles when he's actually kind

[@BN-pd9tf]

I happen to own a Bremont MBIII, that I purchased in 2014 which is similar to the MBI, that Jimmy gave his FIL, except it has a dual time zone. Each MB model is over-engineered in every aspect to withstand the rigors of military combat aviation, specifically punching out of the cockpit via a Martin Baker ejection seat. Hence, Bremont's tribute to Martin Baker and military aviators. This is truly a "Hell and Back" timepiece with timeless classic good looks. What makes the MBI unique, is that only pilots that have actually ejected from a Martin Baker (authentication required) are eligible to own one. The MBI is specially identified by its red barrel, and again, only reserved for those special few, that have "Been there, and done it". What makes THIS occasion truly special, is that Jimmy knew his FIL served in that capacity with the US Marine Corps. After verifying from his wife that it was indeed an MB ejection system, he found it only befitting to honor such a man with a truly appropriate gift. A classy tribute to a Serviceman by a loving Son-in-law celebrity. And for that, I salute them both. Well done!

[@EvelynRobinson22]

Such an amazing story and a heart-warming gesture! Jimmy really is one of the sweetest guys ever, very genuine. :)

[@meccas10]

Nancy is two seats from her dad right? You can see her in a black and white shirt applauding like crazy ;) love them both

[@humanoidcontent]

Elsy Candido If you want to follow YHWH, the God of the Bible, you must keep His commandments. Do not follow Christians who teach you that The Law is done away with. The Mosaic Law was never done away with, and was even endorsed by Jesus in Matthew 5. Jesus would never teach against the laws of His Father. Do not be deceived by lies. The Sabbath Day is Saturday. The Sunday Sabbath is a lie and rebellion.

[@EvelynRobinson22]

yes, that's Nancy :)

[@InternetStorm]

"And thank you for your daughter!" ... I can't stop smiling. xD

[@flala2261]

iMine Storm that end part was so funny 😆

[@Carosie732]

"Thank you for your service and thank you for your daughter."

[@bekks_]

Dude how could you not love Jimmy Fallon???

[@taniaesther101]

We need more guys like Jimmy, he shows respect not only to his wife but also to his father in law, it was a really sweet moment :3

[@madelinechapstick]

"Thank you for your service, and thank you for your daughter!" WOW

[@ELidiak2014]

"And thank you for your daughter." Aww that was so sweet! Jimmy is such a sweetheart!

[@CassidyQuinn]

Oh my goodness, him saying "I love you more" is the cutest thing EVER!!

[@carmelsullivan8971]

He’s a lovely man

[@thegreatgambino]

Cassidy Quinn I know right. So sweet.

[@1ndiaa]

"and thank you for your daughter" omg Jimmy love you

[@sunnyjang6352]

I need a guy like Jimmy. He is amazing.

[@alemontreemydearwatson9775]

+Sunny Jang.. Me too!! XD

[@drok7619]

Sunny Jang you probably friend zoned him

[@itsbayside6802]

lol

[@flala2261]

Ikr!

[@blufferwhitelie5432]

A lemon tree, my dear Watson your username should be given an award

[@Allagi22]

Every father is going to be concerned at least initially with any man who's in a serious realtionship with their daughter, but if this gesture doesn't earn respect from a father in law, NOTHING will. If I was Fallon's father in law, I'd be of the opinion that Galactic brownie points just got earned by this gesture. That's a very personal, heartfelt and unique gift. Jimmy is a good man.

[@thesheepthatwentmooo]

Well played, Jimmy. MAJOR brownie points with the in laws ;)

[@thesheepthatwentmooo]

We all envy you haha

[@steventyler1337]

thesheepthatwentmooo Loved your new video :)

[@justin33.44]

I think that and being a filthy rich celebrity that the whole is in love with helps too.

[@almabrooks5177]

Ollie Langdon lol

[@snitox]

Ollie Langdon I ruined it. The devil's number shouldn't be taken in vein.

[@alyyahsam4368]

Is it weird that Jimmy is the only person I find soothing in telling stories. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

[@thomas30dk]

So heart warming, especially when someone passes to the other side. Bowie, Prince fx

[@lavianahampton4641]

samantha lapuz you’re not love

[@TylercadeTylercade]

I fully agree

[@HollywoodAman]

samantha lapuz nope.. he’s an excellent story teller!

[@nandinighosh7152]

you absolutely is not the only one

[@GaryWillmott]

Just been into the Bremont boutique in Mayfair to buy one of their beautiful watches and was told the story of how Jimmy came in after spotting the ejector seat in the store. What a great tale and obviously a great father-in-law! Thanks to Cameron at Bremont for being so helpful too!

[@karenspring7891]

How could you not love Jimmy? He's such a sweet man, so generous, compassionate, and funny. And a clean comedian who my kids love as much as I do. Nicely done!

[@Jimzi0911]

Seriously, one of the classiest guys in TV.

[@nandinighosh7152]

Watching Jimmy everytime just raises my expectations for an ideal partner

[@linettesanchez9955]

That was absolutely precious. "And thank you for your daughter."

[@SaintCharbelMiracleworker]

How thoughtful of him. You did good Jimmy.

[@Assassin73311]

Thank you fathers, for your daughters...

[@hassaanmirza4628]

So kind and nice, our Jimmy! :D

[@AleahKCH]

Sweetest man on earth, I don't care what anyone says.

[@flala2261]

AleahKCH definitely!

[@amandanies3174]

Yes!

[@always0Gloriana]

I have so much love for Jimmy he just has such a genuine sweet presence to him gosh he's the best

[@howphamtastic]

i want there to be a jimmy story time show where he just tells stories

[@RohitKumaramritsar]

Jimmy is so down to earth and humble man ...

[@britturk123]

Some might not love his interviewing technique but that is a man right there a true decent man.

[@edjech]

I love that he thought of his father in law and that he surprised him with it on air.

[@catzska]

Jimmy you are the best. I truly appreciate you and your show makes me happy. I really love your home shows and your amazing house and family. Thank you for bringing so much joy. 💕💜💕

[@ramonlopez7417]

This is why Jimmy has taken over the game! He is unstoppable!

[@kathleenmansure7416]

And that's why he has risen to the top! Sure, you could argue he isn't the best interviewer and all that and while I love him and don't think he is bad, I would have to agree. The thing is though, he is so genuine and so people like him and are attracted to him. Good things come your way for good people

[@pvkat1982]

"I love you" "I love you more". Awww! So sweet of Jimmy to do that for his father in law.

[@jomontanee]

When his father in law's eyes became teary, my heart melts. Then when Jimmy said "I love you" and his fil said back "I love you more" I die.

[@deedou07]

there's an expression in french, i don't know if it exists in other languages, when a guy is really nice we say he's the "ideal son-in-law", jimmy is indeed

[@Mat-xe8pt]

deedou07 there's a special word in German if somebody is a saviour. It's KRANKENWAGEN

[@elizabethlabrecque2753]

Are you talking about "beau-fils" if you are then it isn't an expression about the ideal son-in-law it's just the way we call son-in-law (I'm french btw from Quebec)

[@isabelleclerc1503]

Elizabeth Labrecque No, we use "beau fils" for son in law, but it's not "beau fils" in this case, it's "c'est le gendre idéal".

[@singenstattatmen5096]

***** He's messing with you. The word he said doesn't mean "saviour", it's simply German for ambulance. And the reason German sounds kind of "harsh" to others is because it's got a lot of "hard" consonants and such, but that doesn't mean it can't sound soft and beautiful either. There's a reason we're called "The poeple of thinkers and poets" (in German that's "Das Volk der Denker und Dichter", although people somehow do prefer to think of us as "the guys who had that thing with Hitler"). If you heard the works of Goethe, Schiller and the like read aloud there'd be no way you'd want to describe it as "harsh and mean". ;) Please, be a bit more open-minded. There's beauty in every language. :)

[@marthahanley6650]

SingenStatt Atmen In linguistic terms, German is called a "gutteral" language.

[@GoldenDave]

You know, I like Jimmy Fallon a lot. I read in the comments section, and I see a lot of stuff, like how he's not the best at interviews and that he's not that funny and all. Not only do I disagree, but that's not the point. I think people who are a fan, like me, of Jimmy, is because of his heart and because he looks genuinely like a very, very nice person. Way tha gooo Jim.

[@jomontanee]

You just read my mind and feel my heart. That's exactly what I have felt years and years. Let the haters hate.

[@jashanpreetjawanda8822]

Yeah true

[@justava4real]

Same

[@EvanPearson]

Jimmy Fallon is the man!

[@liferiot]

Wow, what an incredibly sincere gift.

[@BeautyBlack1990]

So Sweet of him

[@lissettemarie3826]

The look on his father in laws face was beautiful. He looked so happy. 😭😭😭😭😭

[@masterprocrastinator384]

thank you for your daughter ... that cracked me up

[@elnaschutz]

I love how the father-in-law keeps saying "I love you more!"

[@NehaShettychocoholic21]

If this doesn't melt ur heart, I dont know what will. Love you Jimmy!

[@Flaviadriana]

I love to see how Jimmy can be an adorable family guy. The world need more men like him. Great atitudes. 😊😍👏👏👏

[@ogersteiner]

Great ... now I am crying at work again.....thanks Jimmy....but seriously thank you ....you are awesome!!!

[@melrose795]

A very sweet gesture..Jimmy is a good guy and thank you Dad for your service!

[@hab790]

Got a little teary on that one Jimmy. That was so sweet.

[@ysmnrbcc]

"Thank you for your daughter" is probably the sweetest thing ever..

[@_serenelynn_4577]

The look he gave him when he said "and thank you for your daughter" xD LOL

[@AdvantageousAngie]

This made me tear up! Especially when jimmy said I love you, and he said "love you more" these pregnancy hormones can't handle cute stuff like that!

[@noelmatchett827]

So sweet!!! Great job Jimmy!

[@Tauromaja]

What an absolutely sweet gesture. Kudos, Mr. Fallon.

[@TheTrippleTKA]

And Jimmy's 3rd kid will be available in 9 months after this. He scored some major points!

[@myOTHERname2009]

TheTrippleTKA 😂😂😂

[@wat3rbottl3]

That was really nice :) good stuff Jimmy.

[@jzzct]

He is such a nice guy. I just love Jimmy Fallon!

[@jeandocherty1378]

I just so love watching The Jimmy Fallon Shows may they long continue xx

[@jb3194ivellise2901]

jimmy is the sweetest I wanna meet him someday

[@iamsamsamiam1673]

Fallon, a class act !

[@chronicdreamxgt9642]

I laughed too hard when Jimmy said, " Thank you for your service, and thank you for your daughter" hahaha.

[@dburch6473]

"Thank you for your daughter"-

[@FreakieFan]

''Thank you for your service and thank you for your daughter'' XD!

[@prankfiles]

Your good guy, Jimmy

[@SM-wi1js]

Always enjoyed watching your show and the more I see your inner self the more I see what a "special person" you are. Never forget where you come from and continue providing such great stories. You "Rock" Jimmy!

[@spmunro]

One of the best KZbin vids I've seen EVER! Love him.

[@erikondecc]

"Thank you for your daughter" oh my god xD

[@anrina]

"thank you for your service and thank you for your daughter" lol. Jimmy is such a sweet guy

[@barbarasmith1939]

That has to be one of, if not THE coolest things ever! What an amazing way to say "thank you for your service". The daughter bit was cute!

[@funeralbillii9172]

"Thank you for your service...and thank you for your Daughter!" Great story!!

[@roozish]

Thank you for your service and thank you for your daughter, hahahaha, awesome!

[@Browneyes92990]

"Thank you for your service and thank you for your daughter!" OMG! That's the sweetest thing ever!

[@ShanMarie513]

That's adorable. Just when you think Jimmy Fallon can't get any nicer...he does this and proves he can! 💗

[@Francoberry]

Pricing isn't on the website...suggesting that it costs a LOT of money

[@CurtisAyukawa]

Francoberry Yep, almost dying plus 3 easy payments of $4999.00

[@ajtronic]

Its a luxury in-house automatic movement watch, so they are probably over $10,000. Probably even more since it is a custom limited edition. Correction: not an in-house movement

[@TheTrippleTKA]

Curtis Ayukawa LOL yup! you'd think the tie and the watch would come as a gift for risking their lives!

[@BoronAlloy]

AJ06 Regular high-grade ETA movement - none of Bremont's watches have an in-house movement, and it'll be a while before they do. Priority at the moment is brand marketing/exposure and their own boutiques, so the necessary £1M or so for developing a basic time/date movement is being spent on doing the former instead.

[@ajtronic]

BoronAlloy Oh I see, thanks.

[@tessabail9856]

Total Respect ... That was awesome what he had done for his Father In-law, can so see the love there within them both ... Lovely :)

[@priyapitre4468]

And thank you for your daughter! Omg i died

[@denisv3644]

Thank you for your service and thank you for your daughter. PRICELESS

[@larissaalmeida4327]

I used to say I didn't have a "celebrity idol", until Jimmy Fallon came along in The Tonight Show. I'm one of his biggest fans, primarily because he is so big hearted and down to earth and, needless to say, hilarious! 😙

[@lithiumclears]

They're wearing the same tie omg so cute

[@dennisaudino7659]

I love Jimmy....What a great man...!

[@janescherf5275]

No one can doubt Jimmy's sincerity after seeing this. A wonderful gesture!

[@carolinebellemare2751]

Jimmy you are a great human being. Thank you for honouring your father in law. It gives a very good example to our society, especially coming from a comedian. Keep it up!

[@zintamoore3101]

this is so sweet I'm crying oh my god

[@roseannsullivan1871]

What a lovely tribute to Jimmy's father in law. Surely Jimmy doesn't need brownie points, who wouldn't be happy to have him in the family. It was a sincere and generous gesture of admiration for his father in law. Also notice the look of love on Nancy's face for both her dad and Jimmy---priceless.

[@naciremasti]

the only reason i watch latenight, jimmy. could ya interview the roots some more? the world needs the roots.

[@Qyjari]

Incredible. Thank you for your service, sir.

[@WendellsCat]

Who are the 91 people who disliked this? This was the sweetest thing.

[@PattiQ]

What a wonderful thing to do for your father-in-law! Very thoughtful! I'm guessing this won you some major points with the family in law. ;)

[@ryanpearce6297]

Shut up you fucking creep

[@worldofrelaxation6173]

and thank you for your daughter awwwwe that's the best part!!!!!!❤

[@varenea]

People have no idea what a blessing it is to love your son and daughter in laws. It really blesses their marriage and their lives and then the grandkids and so on. Its so important to support your kids. It is also super important to find someone that your parents CAN love and support! Be a blessing to your family!

[@RealTalkWithSSG]

I got teary eyed with joy. This was so sweet.

[@cheesemint16]

Jimmy makes me smile :)

[@zainshifo]

This gave me goosebumps! You're awesome jimmy

[@vickyfranco3733]

So beautiful, sucha beautiful gesture. Fantastic:)

[@bittercandy6666]

"I love you buddy" " I love you more" 😭😭😭😆😆😆

[@mitchmatic8029]

What a GREAT story! Hanks for sharing Jimmy.
