Jimmy Fallon is gunning for the Sexiest TV Host title from PEOPLE, but he\u2019s got some stiff competition! On the September 18 episode of *The Tonight Show*, Fallon celebrated his nomination with a playful campaign, jokingly urging his competitors to bow out.<\/p>\n
Fallon\u2019s rivals for the title include Seth Meyers, Mario Lopez, and Mark Consuelos. Fallon sarcastically dissed his competition, saying, \u201cI\u2019m up against Seth Meyers, Mario Lopez, and Mark Consuelos. Yuck!\u201d He humorously pitched why he should win, suggesting Meyers, as the \u201cyounger dude,\u201d should let \u201cgrandpa\u201d Fallon have this one. Fallon even asked Lopez and Consuelos to withdraw from the race, directing a mock serious message to Consuelos, \u201cRemove your name from the ballot,\u201d he said, while looking straight at the camera.<\/p>\n
He then joked that Lopez would graciously step aside, saying, \u201cHe\u2019ll go, like, out of respect, \u2018Jimmy, you got it.\u2019\u201d Fallon capped off his campaign by posing with a PEOPLE tote bag and pretending to walk on the subway, playing up his connection with the magazine.<\/p>\n
To top it all off, Fallon drew a humorous parallel between himself and PEOPLE, noting that both recently celebrated their 50th anniversaries. \u201cLook at this. \u2018Established 1974.\u2019 You know what else is established in 1974? Me! Are you kidding me? It should be a no-brainer,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n
Fallon\u2019s lighthearted and self-deprecating pitch aims to win over voters and make his case for the coveted title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
