I miss Jay Lenno, but I also admit to being a big fan of Jimmy Fallon. Multi talented and quite funny, I enjoy his take as the new host of the Tonight Show. I searched and searched for more photos of his new farmhouse, but to no avail. None either on his NYC residence. I think what impresses me, and contributes so much to his like ability is that he lives a pretty private personal life, and despite making millions before, and now $12 million/year for The Tonight Show, he chose a lovely former 1850’s former horse farm, modest by celebrity standards, beautiful and inviting instead of a mansion right on the water. When he and his beautiful wife Nancy Juvonen married in 2007, it was in a small quiet ceremony on Neckers Island, in the Caribbean, attended by immediate family and a few close friends. I couldn’t even find any photos except a few that Jimmy has shared on his show. How refreshing!!!!
Because Jimmy appears to be fairly private, I kinda felt a little uncomfortable looking for photos for the post! I don’t think he would mind what I have posted…..at least I hope not! He seems so genuine and comfortable in his own skin. I wish him and his family many continued blessings.

Save the whales
Yes!
I am a big fan of the man !! Oh , what to say , that hasn’t been said before !! I watched LNJF , and it was ok . When Jay Leno left , I knew there would be big shoes to fill . So , so happy Lorne made the correct pick as to Jimmy Fallon !! On the particular show , when he announced his daughters birth , I fell in love with him !! Such compassion in a man , one rarely sees . He has had his ups & downs , but haven’t we all ?? Now , with two baby girls & beautiful wife , Jimmy needs a relaxing place to call his own . Happy he has found the right place ! Chicago would have been nice , but glad he choose the Hamptons !! Take care of him for his fans !! As much as I want to know & see more of Jimmy , I am glad he has privacy he can count on !! Thank you for the lovely home he was able to call his own !!
Laurel, I am sorry it took me so long to reply, but I had to take a break from blogging. I am back now. I couldn’t agree more with your comments. I find him to be endearing, probably because he stays so real and genuinely himself. I hope he has a long and delightful run on the show. Thanks for commenting. charisse
Architecture as lifestyle choice. Adore when clients choose this.
Jimmy’s stand-up jokes leave me questioning what is funny. Jimmy’s slapstick is a riot, love it.
Odd, the bifurcation.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Jimmy seems the real deal, as does his wife, so I was not at all surprised that his home would reflect their integrity. When I design I stress living authentically…..and he seems to do this, and well.
We loved Jay and definitely loved Johnny Carson! Such fond memories. Johnny, Jay and Jimmy, What a perfect trio!
I was thrilled when Jimmy was named the replacement for Jay. Someone is paying attention! (Did you catch the night that Jimmy sang with Billy Joel? Another huge favorite of ours) Jimmy is truly multi-talented and seems like such a down-to-earth guy. It is clear that he loves to surround himself with beautiful things, home, yard, puppy, wife, baby……
Check out that stove/oven in his kitchen. What is the name for that style again? I was curious to know the changes you would make to the kitchen, just for fun. I love the picture of the horses at the top of the staircase.
I was laughing so hard at the Downton Sixby skit. Maggie Smith’s character was hilarious. They were all fantastic!
12M a year, hmmmm….. Not too shabby! I respect that he is private and has humility, a trait we do not often see in the “stars.”
But, I too would love to see his other homes. Not to be nosey, just to connect with the TV personality that we so admire.
This was a beautiful tribute to Jimmy.
Thx for sharing!
The commercial range is a Viking I believe. In the kitchen I would add color to the backs of the upper cabinets. I would put “feet” under the base cabinets to make them look more like furniture, especially because they are white. I would add ceiling details both in the kitchen and in the adjoining eating area. I would add a chandelier or pendants over the island and maybe the breakfast bar area. Simple changes that can have a huge impact. Probably a few more tweaks, but those were what I immediately thought of when I first saw the photo. I just watched the skit again…..very funny. Maggie Smith just cracks me up in Downton Abby. Because of the Olympics I missed the last few episodes, so I have to play catch-up!
Beautifully done! I loved everything about his home and I think your presentation was pure class.
Thanks!
I love this, Charisse. So timely to have Jimmy Fallon and glimpses of his happy life.
He seems so happy and deservedly so.
