A clip of Jimmy Fallon appearing to accidentally snub Kevin Jonas' handshake has gone viral on TikTok, making the singer even more 'relatable'

• A clip from a Jonas Brothers interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is going viral.
• The clip shows Fallon turning away the moment Kevin Jonas reaches toward him for a handshake.

Fans of the Jonas Brothers say a clip of talk-show host Jimmy Fallon appearing to snub Kevin Jonas' attempt to shake hands live on air makes the singer the most "relatable" member of the band.

The three Jonas brothers — Kevin, Joe, and Nick — appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on April 7 to promote their upcoming album, titled "The Album," which is set to be released on May 12.

Towards the end of their interview with Fallon, the brothers performed an impromptu rendition of "Staying Alive," by the Bee Gees, and when the song ended, Fallon held up a copy of "The Album," and shook Nick's hand.

Kevin, who was standing next to Nick at the time, then held out his hand towards Fallon for a handshake. However, the host had already turned away to face the camera, leading Kevin to laugh and clasp his two hands together, as though he were shaking his own hand.

On TikTok, a user named @maddismakings, filmed herself watching the show on TV and reacting to the handshake mishap, saying, "This is why Kevin Jonas will always be the most relatable Jonas Brother." The clip, which was posted on April 8, received 356,000 views, as users on the app expressed sympathy for the star.

On April 9, Kevin duetted the user's video on his own TikTok account, reacting silently to what she had to say, as celebrities often do on the app when a fan's video about them goes viral.

In his TikTok, which has received 2.2 million views., Kevin could be seen extending his hand out towards the camera to re-enact the scene, before lifting it up again to gesture that there was no one on the receiving end of his attempt at a handshake.

Many commenters said they could relate to being ignored when offering a handshake or a high-five to another person, and that the clip made Kevin seem more relatable to them. Several commenters wrote that they have grown more fond of Kevin over time, having previously preferred Nick and Joe, and that the viral clip has caused them to feel even more love and support towards him.

"I'm in my Kevin ERA," wrote one commenter.

"Kevin Jonas, is all of us," another person wrote.

It has been a longstanding preconception and inside joke within the Jonas Brothers fan community that Kevin was once the least favored member among supporters of the band, as his younger brothers Nick and Joe were positioned as the frontmen of the group when it initially formed in 2006, singing lead vocals on most of the songs. Fans would often discuss who their favorite member of the band is by referring to themselves as being either a "Nick girl" or a "Joe girl," with Kevin often receiving less attention.

Since the band reunited in 2019, however, support for Kevin has been rampant on TikTok, where the singer and guitarist has 1.6 million followers.

The Jonas Brothers released "Happiness Begins," in 2019, their first album together after a six-year separation which they have previously said was exacerbated by strain on their relationship. In the brothers' 2019 documentary "Chasing Happiness," which chronicled their split and decision to reunite, Kevin mentioned that Nick and Joe once told him not to come to a show they were performing at in 2013 because they wanted to only play solo material that he wasn't involved with, while Joe said in the film that he felt Kevin was so focused on starting a family at the time that he was holding back the brothers' potential overall.

The brothers have since said they have found new enjoyment in working together, and can often be seen promoting their new music releases together in videos on TikTok, where the band's official account has 7.1 million followers.

Representatives for Kevin Jonas, Jimmy Fallon, and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
