Jimmy Fallon, we heard you loud and clear.

“I’m up againstSeth Meyers,Mario LopezandMark Consuelos. Yuck!” Fallon told the audience, before he began making arguments as to why each of his competitors should concede to him.

“I’m very honored, but Seth would let me have this… He would want me to have this. He’s a younger dude — let grandpa have one thing,” Fallon joked.

After narrowing it down to Lopez and Consuelos, Fallon teased that they’re both “fine” but “I think they would let me have it as well.”

He then realized that theLive with Kelly and MarkandAccess Hollywoodhosts could “choose to be taken off the ballot,” and he delivered a message to them both.

“Then it would be me versus Mario Lopez,” he continued. “Then he’ll go, like, out of respect, ‘Jimmy, you got it.’ He’s been a guest on the show. Just let me have it.”

Fallon then began sharing with the audience the PEOPLE “swag” he received, as he modeled the “I’m a PEOPLE Person” tote bag and pretended to be on a segway.

He then showed the PEOPLE hat he received as he pointed out that just like the magazine celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, he’s also turning 50 this year. He noted, “Look at this. ‘Established 1974.’ You know what else is established in 1974? Me!”

“Are you kidding me? It should be a no brainer,” he said after realizing he shares a birth year with PEOPLE.
