Jimmy Fallon pledges to march in student-led protest for gun control

Jimmy Fallon will join March for Our Lives, a student-led protest for school safety and gun control, on March 24 in Washington, D.C.

The Tonight Show host addressed the shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Monday night, in the first episode of the show since the tragic event.

Fallon took a moment to acknowledge those lost, and also the students who survived the shooting. "What they had to live through, and what they have to live with, is something that I can't even imagine," he said.

Fallon described the recent actions of these students, including the organisation of the march "unbelievable," saying, "They're speaking out with more guts, passion, conviction and common sense than most adults ... They're creating change. This is a real revolution."

"I stand behind you guys, and I will be marching alongside you with my wife and two children in D.C. to show our support."
