A solemn Jimmy Fallon returned to “The Tonight Show” on Monday night, just nine days after the death of his mother.
Fallon then shared a childhood memory of his mother, Gloria, walking hand in hand with him and his sister to the store.
“She would squeeze my hand three times and say, ‘I love you,’ and I would squeeze back ‘I love you too,'” Fallon recalled.
“Last week I was in the hospital and I was by her side and I grabbed her hand and I squeezed ‘I love you,'” Fallon said, falling silent and shaking his head to indicate that his mother did not respond.
“The Tonight Show” was off last week to allow Fallon time to be with his family.
A visibly moved Fallon exchanged a long hug with Swift.
