From the Cracked Archive:
Jimmy Fallon is nursing the wound of having the least compelling 11:30 p.m. late-night show by keeping many other streams of income flowing. There’s that show that’s just a series of insufferable commercials, On Brand with Jimmy Fallon, his appearance in the game show Password and his role in an actual State Farm commercial. But perhaps the worst of his many other jobs is one that’s befallen other famous people: becoming a famous face for the app game Royal Kingdom.
It’s earned Fallon more ire than his middling late-night and game-show hosting abilities combined. “As if Fallon couldn’t hit a new low here he is in literal crappy mobile game YouTube ads,” a Redditor shared in the r/LateNightShows subreddit.
For those unfamiliar, Royal Kingdom is a game for when you’re dealing with unaddressed depression or some other form of debilitating mental illness. I would know, as back in 2023, I gave this game $15 over the course of three months. It’s a color-matching game with the kind of bright, dopamine-inducing app that can easily eat an hour of your evening when your body feels like it’s being crushed under the weight of your own ineptitude. It’s like Candy Crush in that way.
