Jimmy Fallon partners with Amazon to tell jokes with Alexa on Echo

Want the voice of one of the most annoying men in America to tell you even more annoying jokes? Now you can!

Jimmy Fallon unveiled a new partnership with Amazon on his Tonight Show on Monday. For the next month, if Echo users ask Alexa to “tell me a joke,” she’ll introduce her “friend Jimmy.”

“Jimmy” will then deliver the groaners.

Fallon is not the first celeb to collaborate with the mega-corporation behind a smart assistant. In February, Gordon Ramsay came to the Echo via an Alexa skill that allowed users to ask Ramsay what he thought of their cooking; naturally, he answered with an insult. In a much more enticing partnership, Google got John Legend to lend his voice to Google Home Assistant in May. The R&B revelation and husband of Chrissy Teigen can read Google Home Assistant users their weather or even deliver their wake up message. 

The Fallon partnership delivers a bit of levity for Amazon, which recently angered New Yorkers by choosing Queens as its next HQ location — and getting over a billion in tax breaks, from an already overflowing city with crumbling infrastructure, for a Jeff Bezos helipad. 

But as we know, Jimmy Fallon is just fine with cozying up to morally repugnant power brokers. Remember the Trump head-patting incident, in which he palled around with our soon-to-be autocrat in chief?

Here’s a good one, Jimmy: what did the public say to the richest man there ever was?

We’ll let you figure out the punchline for yourself.
