Could Jimmy Fallon be clairvoyant in addition to being a decent beer pong player?In the Dec. 12, 1998 episode of "Saturday Night Live," the then 24-year-old cast member seemingly foretold his recently-announced 'SNL' hosting duties.
While playing the Ghost of "SNL" Hosts Future in a "Christmas Carol"-themed sketch, Fallon told Alec Baldwin, "Apparently I become a huge star in the future and I host the show in the year 2011."
This sketch came true as the comedy program said Fallon would make his hosting debut Dec. 17, 2011.
Fallon's predictive skills aren't perfect. In the sketch he said REM would be the musical guest, when it's actually Michael Buble. It also appears that Fallon might have a little trouble reading the calendar because in the sketch he says his return date to 30 Rock is Dec. 12, 2011.
The only problem there is Dec. 12 is a Monday.
He's still more accurate than Miss Cleo.

Have Michael Stipe of REM make a cameo in this show. I would like to see Stipe and Buble duke it out.
Well...they start rehearsing on Monday, so Jimmy's prediction was NOT so far off!
He told me I was his Cinderella !! It’ s not a fair tale,it’s true.
I’m a normal girl, not very beautiful or sexy. I never think anyone will love me until I met him in

Afflu~ent Sin*gle * c/-0 m ~~ a place connecting millionaire admirers and wealthy people. He said he had a special feeling for me! He want me to be his Queen!
OH my god! It’s a dream? He is a certified millionare!!
I totally believe this after our first date.
Don’t wait, you will be the next !
Fallon's prediction of having REM be the musical guest will not happen. It's sad news to hear that REM has split up. :(
