HOUSTON – JJ Watt joined the Jimmy Fallon Show this week to talk about his new hobbies and how he is coping during quarantine.

Watt admitted that cooking hasn’t been working out too well for him, saying he’s been setting off the fire alarm every week.
“There’s a lot of fire. I set off my fire alarm three times in the last week,” he said to Fallon.
Watt also discussed his thoughts on both of his brothers playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, saying how incredible it is that both of his brothers will play together and live in the same neighborhood. He joked about it not being fair because it’s now two-thirds Steelers and one-third Texans for his parents. He also mentioned how Steeler fans are crazy and that they are always messaging him on scenarios they have made up about him playing for the team with his brothers.
Fallon asked what charities Watt wanted to highlight and for an update on the JJ Watt Foundation during the health crises. Watt said the Watt Foundation will continue to forge its mission by providing after school activities for student athletes once things go back to normal. He also highlighted the Feeding America organization, saying that it’s an incredible nonprofit that has helped his foundation during Hurricane Harvey and during the coronavirus pandemic as well.
