Jimmy Fallon delivers comically long intro for Mumford & Sons after being roasted by band’s frontman

  • On Tuesday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Marcus Mumford, lead singer of Mumford & Sons, confronted Jimmy Fallon about his brief introduction of the band at the SNL 50th anniversary Homecoming Concert in February.
  • Mumford was displeased because he and the band expected a more substantial and sweet introduction, especially given their long-standing relationship with Fallon and their accomplishments.
  • In response to Mumford's complaint, Fallon claimed that Lorne Michaels had nixed his original heartfelt speech for the SNL event.
  • Fallon then gave a three-and-a-half minute introduction before Mumford & Sons' performance, discussing the band's history, Grammy wins, first appearance at the Glastonbury Festival, and even the members' hobbies, with Fallon saying of Ben Lovett, "As we all know, he's a total foodie."
  • Despite Fallon's elaborate speech, Mumford remained unconvinced, suggesting Fallon had used similar material for other artists, while the band was seen laughing and waiting for the introduction to conclude as they prepared to perform.
