Steve Carell was Jimmy Fallon’s guest on Monday, and being the versatile host that he is, Fallon sparked the conversation by sharing a lesser-known fact about Carell. “You know, I was doing some research about the things that people may not know about Steve Carell, and I read somewhere that you were a Swiftie,” Fallon said. “A Taylor Swift fan.”
The audience cheered after hearing the host’s declaration, and to add to it, Carell confirmed the claim. “Listen, I met — briefly — I met Taylor Swift. Remember TRL, way, way back.

“I met her sort of in passing and I thought, ‘Boy, is she, she seems special,’ like even back then. Very sweet, very nice. Just had a really nice first impression,” he said.

Clearly impressed by her genuine kindness, he declared, “I thought, ‘Okay, I’m a fan,’ I am going to root for that person.”
