In 2015 Fallon collaborated with Ben & Jerry’s to create “The Tonight Dough Starring Jimmy Fallon”, a specialty ice cream flavor with proceeds benefiting SeriousFun. This spring, the funds donated by Jimmy Fallon from the sale of the ice cream surpassed the $1 million mark. Last night’s performance marked a celebration of this impressive milestone.
