Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to late Saturday Night Live music producer Hal Willner on Tuesday's episode of The Tonight Show. Willner died on Tuesday apparently due to coronavirus complications (he had symptoms consistent with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus but had not been officially diagnosed).
He was 64. Fallon opened the late night episode by acknowledging that many people have been impacted by the coronavirus. "I think at this point everyone either knows someone who knows someone who has COVID-19 or knows someone who's had it and beat it or knows someone who has had it and passed away," he said. "Sadly for me, today was my first passing," continued Fallon.
