On a recent episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the host kicked off the show with excitement over the Mets’ win against the Phillies in the National League Championship Series. He couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for New York sports, mentioning how both the Mets and Yankees were doing great. The mention of the Jets, however, brought some laughter from the audience.
But the show didn’t just focus on sports. Fallon quickly shifted gears to talk about the upcoming election. With only 25 days left, he joked about how Donald Trump would either be claiming victory or denying defeat. And of course, he couldn’t resist poking fun at Trump’s love for conspiracy theories, saying he received an “election advent calendar” that gives him a new conspiracy theory every day.
The political humor continued, as Fallon mentioned Senator Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, who held a campaign event on Twitch during a World of Warcraft livestream. As Fallon quipped, “Not to be outdone,” J.D. Vance appeared in TikTok makeup tutorials. The audience roared with laughter and applause.
But the political jokes didn’t end there. Fallon shared a story about President Biden’s alleged fondness for using the F-word behind the scenes. After recounting the story, Fallon playfully imitated Biden, poking fun at Trump and his “carefree” personality.
In a mix of political and entertainment news, Fallon highlighted how Fox News had offered to host a second presidential debate after Trump rejected CNN’s offer. However, Trump promptly declined Fox’s offer, prompting the network to humorously change the name of their morning show to “Fox and I Thought We Were Friends.”
Lastly, Fallon shared a surprising poll that revealed Kamala Harris’ support among Republicans had doubled. To discuss this unexpected development, Fallon invited a Republican guest who had decided to vote for Harris. The guest hilariously expressed his fears about the “Demmm-,” stumbling to say “Democrat,” and jokingly mentioned his sudden affinity for vegan muffins and scolding coffee shops for not having paper straws.
As the show drew to a close, Fallon shifted the focus to lighter topics, including IKEA’s sales decline and Mountain Dew’s new mystery flavor, VooDew. The audience cheered as Fallon revealed a photo of pet Crocs, playfully suggesting they might explain why dogs occasionally go missing.
In true “Tonight Show” fashion, the episode ended with Fallon thanking the audience and introducing his talented guests for the night, including Jordan Peele, Madelyn Cline, and Kane Brown, along with The Roots, the house band.
This lively episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” proved once again why it’s a favorite among late-night talk show lovers. From sports excitement to political satire to quirky news, Fallon’s humor and celebrity guests kept audiences entertained throughout the show.
