Leave it to Jimmy Fallon to turn your heartfelt gratitude for your teachers into a memorable and catchy song. @triviachat’s latest viral video features Fallon mocking teachers who deserve everything from bottomless wine to cucumber spa days. Yes, he went there and we will definitely be there!
Jimmy Fallon created a song that expresses his deep and heartfelt gratitude for his teachers.
Fallon’s quirky ode to educators starts with the basics: billion-dollar salaries and more vacation time. But why stop there? Serenading the unsung heroes of the blackboard jungle, Fallon brings their world to life. Here, teachers are pampered and worshiped like real celebrities.
Here’s why Jimmy Fallon’s song quickly became a classic among teachers.
“A teacher deserves a month-long hot spring trip…”
Fallon knows that teaching is more than just caring for children, it’s akin to a heroic battle. Teachers deserve as much recovery time as their workday. “Cucumbers for the eyes” has surpassed the status of a spa cliché, proving that teachers are always in need of rejuvenation after their daily teaching marathon.
“Teachers should have a prom for teachers…”
Imagine a prom where teachers can relive their high school days without the teen angst. Jimmy Fallon conjures up scenes of counselors leading mirror balls and dances in high school gymnasiums. The “no polishing” rule imposed on Ms. Weaver and Ms. Jones adds a humorous touch.
“When it’s arts and crafts time, there will be paparazzi swarming around demanding selfies and autographs…”
In Fallon’s world, teachers are the real celebrities. More than just an art project, this playful fantasy highlights the star quality we owe to educators who nurture young minds.
“Teachers don’t have to pay taxes. They should be supported 24 hours a day…”
Teachers invest so much in our future, so why should they have to pay taxes? Mr. Fallon will always support them, not just within the walls of schools, but everywhere. I suggest that it should be supported. Even at banks, instead of filling out deposit slips, people should be asked to donate money as a token of gratitude. And don’t forget about his Chipotle perks. That’s unlimited free guacamole to make every teacher feel special and appreciated.
“Teachers should make a billion dollars…”
The refrain that teachers should make $1 billion twice a week, no less, is more than just a throwaway line. This is a hyperbolic way of saying that no amount of money can truly compensate teachers for their valuable work. This cry transforms an impossible number into a symbol of the immense value that teachers provide to society.
The TikTok reaction shows that Jimmy Fallon isn’t the only one who thinks teachers deserve more.

Yes, this heartfelt song will continue to get us through this difficult year!
Fallon’s skits not only make us laugh, but they also make us think about the value we place on educators. So the next time you see your teacher, show some appreciation without throwing money at her (unless you’re at the bank, as Mr. Fallon suggests). Perhaps start with a simple thank you. Tune in for more hilarious takes and heartfelt tributes to our everyday heroes. And yes, Jimmy, we agree. Teachers really should make $1 billion. At least twice a week.
