This is a comedy show.
Im a comedian, but my house burned down yesterday.
Fallon then displayed a before and after picture of Lees oceanfront home.
The producers asked me, theyre like, are you sure you even want to do the show?
And I was like, yeah.
I want to do this.
This feels therapeutic, said Lee, who once got a standing ovation onThe Tonight Showfor his standup.
It also gave me something to focus on …I go Jimmy, I might cry.
Like its totally possible that I might cry.
