Sideshow: Jimmy Fallon's surprise: It's a surrogate!

Felicitations were flowing like so much manna when Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen Fallon announced they had welcomed into their fold baby daughter Winnie Rose Fallon.

On Friday, Fallon dropped a little bombshell: Winnie was born to a surrogate.

"It wasn't really a secret, but my wife and I had been trying for a while to have a baby," Fallon told Today's Savannah Guthrie. "We've tried a bunch of different things, so we had a surrogate." Most of Fallon's colleagues didn't even know he was expecting a baby - his wife didn't look pregnant, after all.

"We said, 'We're not going to tell anybody,' " Fallon said. "It'd be just more fun if it's just private between me and my wife. And then we get to introduce her to everybody."
