This week The Tonight Show host took to Instagram sharing the devastating news that he and his family laid down their family dog Gary to rest after 13 years together. In the post, Jimmy reminisced on all of his fondest memories with the English cream golden retriever and his heartache that Gary will no longer be filling their home with laughter, love, and her silly shenanigans.
The comedian, who recently hosted Taylor Swift on his late night talk show, coupled his emotional tribute with a series of snaps of Gary. In the photo dump, their dog was seen lounging in the sand on the beach, rolling around in the grass, being wrapped in hugs by his family, and laying on a carpet alongside Jimmy. It comes after Jimmy Kimmel slams ‘malicious’ MAGA as he defends controversial Charlie Kirk comments.

Under the photos, Jimmy captioned, “She was the last name we signed on every birthday card. She was our first baby, a therapist, a pillow, a big sister, a schoolmarm, a comedian, a party girl and a rebel. Definitely not a watchdog — she would have let burglars in and shown them where we kept the bacon and American cheese slices.”
He continued, “Always smiling even when she slept. She loved a good scratch and would lean into you if she liked you, though ‘if’ is generous — she did this for basically everyone. She would jump into the pool immediately after being shampooed and dried (noooooo!) then she’d do her laps (backstroke – jk doggie paddle) then lie in the grass on her back doing bunny kicks with her tongue sticking out. That meant summer to me.”

The 51-year-old television personality shared that they have had Gary in their lives for 13 and a half years now, and that he, his children, and his wife will miss her deeply. Jimmy went on to add that the silence feels “so loud” without her playful chaos in their home.
Jimmy concluded the tribute, “But that quiet is slowly being filled with stories about you and laughter amongst the sniffles. Thank you for everything. Gosh, we miss you so much. Goodnight, Gary.”
Under the post, Jimmy was met with loving comments from his fans with many sharing their own heartbreak over losing their family pets. One fan commented, “That’s a next level pain because it’s so unconditional.”
Another added, “‘The last name signed on every birthday card…. Such beautiful memories but wretched heartache and heartbreak. Sending love Fallon fam.”
While a third wrote, “So beautifully expressed… And the sentiment shared by so many of us who have lost our wonderful family dogs.”
