Jimmy Fallon Delivers Record Long Intro for Mumford & Sons on Tonight Show

Marcus Mumford, lead singer of Mumford & Sons, humorously criticized Jimmy Fallon for his brief introduction during the band's performance at the SNL50 Homecoming Concert, where Fallon simply stated, 'Ladies and gentlemen, Mumford & Sons.' On The Tonight Show, Fallon acknowledged the snub, explaining that he had originally planned a more elaborate introduction but was directed by SNL creator Lorne Michaels to keep it short. To make amends, Fallon delivered an epic three-and-a-half minute introduction detailing the band's history, their Grammy wins, and personal anecdotes about each member before their performance of 'Rushmere.' Mumford had playfully called out Fallon about the intro, expressing disappointment given their long-standing relationship. The band is currently on tour and has added extra dates due to high demand, with a portion of ticket sales supporting live music workers. Their new album is set for release soon, adding to the excitement surrounding their performances.
