Jimmy Fallon has opened up about the downsides of his early fame on Saturday Night Live, revealing the devastating psychological impact of realizing that there were inevitably going to be “people [who] want you to fail.”“It is the absolute worst. I hate it,” he said on a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast. “I want everyone to like me. I can’t stand it. I go, ‘Oh, my gosh. What can I do to make you like me?’ I think the answer is you can’t. You can’t make everyone like you. You just have to do what you do. And do the best that you can at what you do. And be happy with yourself.”
Fallon continued, “You think that it’s just going to be, ‘Oh, this is cool. Everyone will be great.’ But then not everyone’s rooting for you… People’s jobs are to take me down and to put bad press out and stuff.”

Currently the host of The Tonight Show, Fallon was a cast member on SNL from 1998 to 2004. Though beloved for his impressions and stint co-hosting “Weekend Update,” he was also frequently criticized for his tendency to break character during skits.

The collab hails from Alien Weaponry’s new album Te Rā, out now via Napalm Records. Stream the video below.

The new trailer for Noah Hawley’s new FX series Alien: Earth (one of the most anticipated shows of 2025) teases its main premise: a crashed spaceship bringing the franchise’s dreaded Xenomorphs and other “invasive species” to our planet. Watch it below.“This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe,” one character reveals in the trailer, before hinting at a potential Predator crossover with the words: “Monsters … Invasive species. Predatory.” A distinct clicking sound, reminiscent of a creature from the Predator films, lends further credence to the idea of the two franchises crossing paths once again.
Here’s the official logline: “In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named ‘Wendy’ marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, ‘Wendy’ and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.”

Both films arrive less than week before Queens of the Stone Age launch their US tour with support from The Kills, dates that were rescheduled after the aforementioned postponements in 2024.
