He tripped and fell and his wedding band got caught on the table and nearly took his finger off? Not trying to be funny here, but is it possible that his spouse is beating him?NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

I have heard some stories from his college days and much much more recently. Dude parties.0

Dude should be more careful. I'm not against partying though. If he is an alcoholic, that's one thing, and a real problem. If he just likes to party, sounds like fun! He needs to just slow down a be a bit more cautious so that he doesn't hurt himself so often. FWIW, he wasn't even drinking when he had his worst injury - his finger. So it's really not fair to include that in the list of injuries to be worried about. Also, it really is likely that his injured finger has had a lot to do with the other injuries. A hurt hand can definitely cause added clumsiness. I doubt that it's just a coincidence that the other injuries all came after the first and worst one.
At any rate, this article is probably fucking embarrassing for him.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
I heard rumors a few years ago but all this media coverage really shows us is just bad luck and some social drinking. If I had someone taking pictures of me every time I was out in public I would be considered an alcoholic for sure. I have wine with dinner, a few drinks at a social event...blah blah blah.
Falling over a bent down person doesn't make you a fall down drunk, Even if I read it on the internet a hundred times, if the dude hasn't gotten busted DUI or have a video puking his brains out, or weaving and slurring (Johnny Depp anyone?) I don't believe a word of it.
There certainly could be something there but this article proves absolutely nada...Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!0 -

I am very worried for Jimmy.www.myspace.com0

This could explain why he was not always on his game.
Known to break character often during SNL it got old after awhile.
He laughed during skits but one too many.
Now he is on primetime.
The whispers have now become talk.0 -

Maybe it also explains why he first got his own show and was then hired to host the Tonight Show?? ... No raging drunk does as well as he's doing.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:This could explain why he was not always on his game.

A raging drunk would be stumbling around, missing the beat, etc. Many of the people on that list are or were absolute train wrecks btw, and there is no way in hell most of them, if any, could have hosted a talk show every night while they were at their worst (that list also has Amy Winehouse on it, lol. I would not call her a functional alcoholic in life or death!). I feel like that list just proved my point. There is no way he could have become the host of the Tonight Show if he was like any of those listed when they had a problem with alcohol.
Note that I never claimed no one who ever had a problem with alcohol could be famous or successful.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
David Letterman was an alcoholic and hosted a late night show.I miss igotid880

He wasn't a raging drunk. We all know the difference between a raging drunk and a functional alcoholic, right?igotid88 said:David Letterman was an alcoholic and hosted a late night show.

Ma'am.
I have a couple of good friends who are functional alcoholics and have been basically forever. They are both doing very well, actually. Particularly successful. Very responsible and reliable. It's kind of strange, but I'm glad they're maintaining. I guess you just keep on eye on them to make sure they don't fall off the deep end one day. Hard to imagine after so many years of smooth sailing, but you never know.
I feel like Fallon is just a partier. A binge drinker maybe (I am binge drinker too I guess, if that means downing a bunch of drinks when I'm partying. I can hold a lot of booze!).Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

An HFA (high-functioning alcoholic) is an alcoholic who is able to maintain his or her outside life, such as a job, home, family, and friendships, all while drinking alcoholically.mickeyrat said:Lets start with this.....

And being an alcoholic means that you are addicted to alcohol. I.e. if you don't drink you experience withdrawal symptoms (and the compulsion to drink is uncontrollable).Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
