The only one who laughs at Jimmy Fallon’s jokes is Jimmy Fallon.

I hate his stupid fake laugh so god damn much. Never understood how he's popular. Can't they see him for what he is?

It has puzzled me too. I think it's a combination of:

  • above average raw charisma (people subconsciously want to relate to him)
  • VERY generous / manufactured audiences
  • our strong subconscious tendency to want to laugh along with others
  • deliberate abuse of the "this is so funny I can't help but break character" move, the most egregious and hateable thing the man does

People look at me like I slapped their mother when I say I find him 0% funny or likeable.
