Friends of Jimmy Fallon have suggested he slim down in preparation for taking over Conan O’Brien’s late-night spot, but Fallon isn’t interested, OK reports.

Friends of Jimmy Fallon tell him to slim down

“He’s got a lot riding on that first show next year,” a friend told OK! magazine. “So his first priority isn’t the size of his pants.”

Another source close to Fallon said that the weight gain is just “love handles,” and that the suggestion that he has to be thinner is irritating to the comedian. “He’s a little stunned that at this point in his life he has to deal with such things. I mean, it’s late-night TV,” said the source. “He and his wife love to stay in, eat pizza, watch TV and relax. That’s his perfect night, so what if he’s packed on a few pounds because of it?”
