Jimmy Fallon Asks For Epic #MyFamilyIsWeird Stories, 30 Online Users Deliver
Interview With Expert
It’s Hashtags time! Legendary showman Jimmy Fallon sure knows how to entertain a crowd. One way that he and his team make humor relatable is by directly asking the audience to share their experiences. In a viral thread on X (formerly Twitter), the host of ‘The Tonight Show,’ asked everyone to open up about their most bizarre family stories, using the #MyFamilyIsWeird hashtag.
The cream of the crop even ended up being featured on a recent episode of the show itself! Today, we’re showcasing some of the top tweets (well, technically, they’re called X’s now) to bring a bit of humor into your lives, Pandas. It’s also a reminder that everyone’s families are weird in their unique ways.
Mike Sington, a former Senior Executive at NBCUniversal and an entertainment expert, kindly shared his thoughts with Bored Panda about what it would take to join Fallon's team and how the host manages to relate to his audience so well. You'll find his insights as you scroll down.

Your family is not weird. Your family is intelligent and responsible.

That would be a fantastic way to leave a tip, honestly. Definitely would make my night to find a tip in a balloon duck's bill.

My dad sadly passed while working abroad. I had to go and arrange for his body to be brought back to the UK from Europe. Bringing a body across borders is expensive, but his company said they would pay for everything. His boss also told me to choose the best coffin, so I did. When he arrived back the undertaker took me to one side and said he had never seen a coffin made to such high standards. Goodness only knows what it cost but it did make us smile.

Well, they probably would have. I mean, do you think that Bach and Mozart wouldn't have written music for electric guitars, if they'd had them in their time?

My wife tells about PHEB from her dad. Potatoes, Hamburger, Eggs, and Beans. Just throw it all together on a plate. It was like a combination of everything he knew how to make.

Reminds me of a story about my BIL... when he was about six, they were eating some salad, including rolled up ham. He didn't like it. Touched it with his finger. Then started crying... 'the ham just bit my finger'

My father was elected as president of his golf club and for the duration of his term, we had to address him as “Mr. President” if we mentioned golf.

My dad used to tear the chess board whenever he lost to my mum. Which was very frequent because my mum is really good. She always kept extra boards.

Baked beans are excellent over most potatoes. Potato salad, though, that's a little bit weird.

Most country people cooked over wood stoves, so when natural gas became available and they could get a tank delivered, or get it piped in, it was so much cleaner and convenient. So, "cooking with gas" was a term for being up-to-date and modern.

My granny used to say this about eating crusts on sandwiched. I think it used to be a common phrase.

I think every brother on the planet has done that at some point. Mine is in his 40's and still thinks it's funny to fart at me. :)

I’ve got a million of them as we are a bunch of weirdos. Here’s one. My father was elected as president of his golf club and for the duration of his term, we had to address him as “Mr. President” if we mentioned golf.
