About

#RIPJimmyFallon is a hashtag referencing an internet death hoax in which participants spread false rumors about comedian Jimmy Fallon's death, primarily on Twitter, in mid-November 2022. Similar to previous hoaxes, such as #RipJoeRogan, the hoax achieved virality online that month, with Jimmy Fallon even requesting Twitter CEO Elon Musk put a stop to it.
