Jimmy Fallon's Mother Gloria Passed Away at 68

On, The Tonight Show, Monday. Jimmy Fallon christened a brand new game with Aziz Ansari. And it's just as funny as it sounds. First, textual experience. Oh No! It even [UNKNOWN]! Everyone's like no! [LAUGH] Not that long! [LAUGH] [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGH] Hey you want to sit down for this one. Viewers sent in real first text messages from potential dates read by Jimmy and Ariz and they were all so cringe worthy. Fans on Twitter absolutely loved the texts with many saying they couldnt stop laughing while watching. In fact it made us wonder if he should have him become a regular segment. But as random as that clip may have seemed, Aziz had a good reason for talking about dating in the digital age. After all, that's the topic of his new book, Modern Romance. The comedian teamed up with a NYU sociologist to investigate how differently people are creating relationships in 2015. He told NPR he had one pretty specific question he wanted answered. Why- despite the millions of profiles on OkCupid, Match, Tinder and the like-people still struggle to find the one, or at least someone who will return their text messages. Man, we feel you Aziz, that's up there with the meaning of life for us.

If you're an avid fan of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, you probably heard that the late-night host canceled a live taping on November 3. Sadly, that the cancellation was due to the fact that Fallon's mother, Gloria, had fallen ill, and unfortunately, she passed away on Saturday at NYU Langone Medical Center in N.Y.C.

According to sources, the 43-year-old comedian and host was at his mother's side when she died at age 68 this weekend.

"Jimmy Fallon's mother, Gloria, died peacefully on Saturday," a spokesperson for the family told People. "Jimmy was at his mother's bedside, along with her loved ones, when she passed away at NYU Langone Medical Center in NYC. Our prayers go out to Jimmy and his family as they go through this tough time."

Though Fallon keeps his family life relatively private, he has occasionally treated fans to sweet anecdotes about his mother, both on his show and via social media. Back in May, he shared a silly story about Gloria on Twitter, writing that although they had spoken several times that day, his mother still said they "don't talk enough."

Our hearts go out to Fallon and his family in the wake of this heartbreaking news.
