Jimmy Fallon dresses up as the false dragon Logain from The Wheel of Time

I really like The Wheel of Time, Prime Video's adaptation of Robert Jordan's beloved epic fantasy book series. The show's third season is just around the corner, so now is a good time to start building hype, but I don't know if the show has really penetrated overmuch into the wider culture. You don't see people chattering incessantly about The Wheel of Time the way they did about Game of Thrones back in its heyday, for instance.

But maybe that tide is changing. The other night, The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon dressed up as Logain, the false dragon played by actor Álvaro Morte. To be fair, he got there by a pretty circuitous route. Fallon challenged his viewers to send in pictures of people that they thought he looked like. One of those people was Morte, glowering into the camera as an imprisoned Logain. Other candidates included a singer named Mod Sun, another singer named Cerrito, and what looks like a drunken Santa at a Christmas party.

The audience then had to vote on which hopeful looked the most like Jimmy Fallon; Morte and Cerrito were tied, although I suspect that was partly because Fallon really didn't want to dress up as Cerrito; how can you not make him do it at that point?

in the end, he dresses up as both of them, and throws drunk Santa in there for good measure! Watch the clip below:

Is it a match? It's your turn to decide:

The third season of The Wheel of Time will premiere on Prime Video on March 13. Logain is a man who can channel, which basically means he can use magic. That's a very dangerous thing in this world, since men who can channel invariablly go mad and use their power to wreck everything and everyone around them. Worse, he claimed that he was the Dragon Reborn, a messianic figure destined to either destroy the world or save it. It's bad enough that he's a crazy channeler, but then he wants to be a crazy channeler with a following?

The Red Ajah of the Aes Sedai, whose whole job it is to stop men like Logain from hurting people, clipped his wings, but he still has quite a lot of story ahead of him. Meanwhile, the real Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor, will be heading to the blasted Aiel Waste in the upcoming season, or at least that's what it looks like based on the teaser trailer:
