New Jimmy Fallon Alarm Clock App



On Tuesday night’s episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, during a Holiday Tech Wrap Up segment with Joshua Topolsky of The Verge, the eponymous host announced the release of his new iPhone app, Jimmy Fallon’s Wake Up Call. The app, designed by Charming Robot in New York City, is an alarm clock featuring fake wake up calls from Fallon himself.

Now, all the cool kids can wake up with Fallon. We have no idea what the “rise and grind” might be, but we can already tell that waking up this way will be more enjoyable than an annoying radio DJ.

This isn’t a comedy bit, it’s really just Fallon talking about his new app. But the app seems funny, and $0.99 for a decent alarm clock featuring some Fallon comedy seems worth it.


Fallon and his team continue to kill it. More than any other entertainer, Fallon has really made “the leap” in 2011. He’s reliably funny, a good interviewer, he understands the Internet, and his sketches are somehow wholesome and hilarious. It’s been a pleasure watching Fallon blossom into a solid late-night host and do so in a way that isn’t beholden to the way late-night shows are typically done.

While the young kids and Internet may have rallied around Conan during the whole Jay Leno-NBC debacle, Fallon is truly the first late-night host for the young Gen X/Millennial crowd — the iPhone generation, if you will. Pretty cool move releasing an iPhone app that a person could actually use.
