"Bro giggled his way into the readers’ hearts" - Internet reacts to Jimmy Fallon being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Game Show Host of 2025

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon has been named PEOPLE's Sexiest Game Show Host of 2025 following a Readers' Choice Poll. For context, the magazine hosts an annual poll to allow readers to vote for male celebrities under various categories, including 'Sexiest New Heartthrob,' Sexiest Cat Dad,' 'Sexiest Game Show Host,' and the popular 'Sexiest Man Alive,' among others.

Last week, PEOPLE Magazine unveiled the winners of all categories other than Sexiest Man Alive, naming Jimmy Fallon as 'Sexiest Game Show Host.' For the uninitiated, Jimmy Fallon hosts the game show Password on NBC with Keke Palmer.

The other celebrities on the lineup for PEOPLE's Sexiest Game Show Host of 2025 included Michael Strahan for The $100,000 Pyramid, Nate Burleson for Hollywood Squares, and Ryan Seacrest for Wheel of Fortune.

Jimmy Fallon's recent win was met with varied responses from netizens on X, with one user writing:

"Bro giggled his way into the readers’ hearts."

Several fans seemingly agreed with the choice, calling his win "deserved."

Meanwhile, others seemed unenthused, wondering if the list was satire.

Jimmy Fallon's Password renewed for a new season

Jimmy Fallon, who hosts The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, is also the executive producer and one of the hosts on Password, a game show on NBC, alongside Keke Palmer. According to Deadline, Fallon appears as a recurring contestant, teaming up with a new partner every episode to face off against their opponents. The two teams have to use one-word clues to guess the passwords.

The game show, which received multiple Emmy nominations and a win for Palmer for Outstanding Host For A Game Show in 2023, was renewed for a third season in August 2025.

In a joint statement to Deadline at the time, Fallon and Palmer said they were excited to return to the game show, adding that the new season will have "bigger guests, wilder guesses and guaranteed laughs."

“We couldn’t be more excited to return to Password. It’s the only show where you get to lock eyes with a total stranger and think, ‘OK, based on absolutely nothing, we’re going to bet that you understand that when one of us says ‘fluffy,’ we mean ‘pillow.’ We love working with each other so much and are taking it to another level this season with bigger guests, wilder guesses and guaranteed laughs,” Fallon and Palmer said.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Jimmy Fallon has been nominated on PEOPLE Magazine's Readers' Choice Poll. In September 2024, he was nominated for PEOPLE's Sexiest TV Host, facing off against Mark Consuelos, Seth Meyers, and Mario Lopez.

During an episode of his last night show at the time, Fallon campaigned for the title, jokingly saying that his fellow nominees would let him have the win. He also asked Consuelos to remove his name from the list, saying:

"Mark Consuelos, I'm going to ask you right now, please remove your name from the ballot of People's Sexiest [TV Host]. Then it would be me versus Mario Lopez. Then he'll go, like, out of respect, 'Jimmy, you got it.' He's been a guest on the show. Just let me have it," he said.

Mark Consuelos, the host of Live with Kelly and Mark, won the title of PEOPLE's Sexiest TV Host in 2024.
