Jimmy Fallon has reportedly donated $100,000 to his high school’s art fund, with some of that money going towards the school’s TV studio.
Jimmy attended New York’s Saugerties High School and graduated in 1992. Jimmy said that he is happy to be able to help out and joked about what the school could do to repay him.
“And if anyone there wants to return the favor with a statue of me or something, I’m totally cool with that, too.”
The superintendent of the school fired back with a joke of his own, saying that he would be willing to erase the Tonight Show host’s disciplinary record instead. A more serious statement from Superintendent Seth Turner read:
“When you’re supporting the fine arts and the music and television departments, you’re benefiting not only the children who attend our school but the greater community who will come out to enjoy each of these endeavors. It’s very exciting to have something positive like this going on, and for that we’ve got to thank Jimmy and his wife, Nancy Juvonen. It’s very meaningful that they supported this.”
