The Tonight Show host, who is in the middle of a two-week hiatus from his show, thanked the students for leading the movement for gun control in the wake of their Feb. 14 massacre. “The first thing is this: when something feels hard, remember that it gets better," said Fallon, who encouraged his viewers in March to participate in March for Our Lives.
