According to Eighties Kids, Fallon once said that his favorite "Saturday Night Live" sketch involved the one and only: Mick Jagger. As the comedian would later explain on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" (via YouTube), the skit was a last-minute thing that he put together in the event Jagger would be hosting the show.
"SNL" creator Lorne Michaels told the cast and writers that Jagger was up to do a sketch, but they'd have to pitch it to him. Fallon came up with the idea of doing his impression of Jagger in front of the musician as a mirrored image, which Michaels initially vetoed. That was until Fallon listed his ideas to Jagger, who wasn't up for any of them, aside from the mirror sketch. "And it's a very iconic sketch," Meyers said, pulling out a screenshot of the pair dressed in silk blouses and sitting in a dressing room.
It is a very iconic "SNL" moment (via "Saturday Night Live"/YouTube), which not only shows Jagger's ability to take a joke but Fallon's incomparable skills as an impressionist. No wonder it's Fallon's favorite sketch.
