Leftist late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon was thrown off guard when his audience, who usually panders to his anti-Trump rehotirc, cheered for the President’s return to the White House, creating a hilarious viral moment.
Fallon, who repeatedly attacked Trump during his first term, appeared on the show sporting a navy blue, full-brim hat with a white wrap, mirroring what First Lady Melania Trump did during the inauguration.
Fallon joked, “After this, we’re going to play ‘who wore it better’: me, Melania, or the Hamburglar.”
He then began by confirming that Trump had been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, a statement which was obviously crafted to ignite the boss from the audience.
However, the audience began appluading, leaving Fallon stunned.
“We’re all united, that’s great to know,” Fallon said, visibly uncomfortable.
While Fallon was left with little material to bash Trump following the election of Joe Biden in 2021, it now seems he has the opportunity to put his anti-Trump “comedy to work,” but times have changed.
“Trump made history in a lot of ways. Last night, he became the first convicted felon ever elected President,” said the late-night host the day after the election.
“Congrats. Trump could be the first president to be under White House arrest,” said the late-night host the day after the election.
“At age 78, Trump has also become the oldest man ever elected President, breaking a record set by President Biden in 2020. But it’s nice Biden will pass the torch and his Life Alert necklace,” said Fallon.
“America’s rolling the dice with a second Trump presidency,” he observed.
“It’s like we somehow survived the first ‘Squid Game’ and then signed back up for a second.”
In a more neatral stance, comedian Dave Chappelle used his monologue on “Saturday Night Live” to make a direct plea to Trump to represent “all” Americans and that “everyone” around the world is counting on him, “from Palisades to Palestine.”
Perhaps the sentiment of people across America who force the anti-Trump comedians such as Fallon to shift to actual comedy, not propaganda.
