“The Tonight Show” host humanized a dangerous man on Thursday night.
Jimmy Fallon had Donald Trump on “The Tonight Show” Thursday night, and all some people could talk about afterward was a head rub. Toward the end of the interview, Fallon asked the Republican presidential nominee if he could mess up his famous head of hair on live TV, leading to raucous applause and the sort of bite-sized video that both the creators and consumers of internet media eat up.
Before the rub, Fallon did sneak in a few subtle quips, like asking Trump if he knew what a coin was, or suggesting that he still has time to drop out if he decides he no longer wants to become president. But by and large, Fallon’s interview was an extended on-air puff piece, filled with the same sort of polite give-and-take a late-night host reserves for an actor on an obligatory promotional tour.
Throughout the interview, Fallon was predictably non-confrontational and willing to work with whatever Trump gave him. When Trump made a joke about fearing what people might do to his hamburgers if they know it’s him before he orders, Fallon leaned back in his chair and let out a disproportionately large laugh relative to the funniness of the joke. Was it really that funny? No, it was not....

No, nothing at all like opening a pickle jar "leading to raucous applause and the sort of bite-sized video that both the creators and consumers of internet media eat up." Nothing at all like that. Nope, not at all.
How come Democrats never get any of those? [/s]
Yes, he didn’t realize his job was to promote the revolution.
What a wonderful election.
I haven’t watched tv in years, so I don’t know the personalities of the late night hosts of today. But I do know their ratings. Stephen Colbert is at the bottom and is overtly liberal and rah-rah democrats. Jimmy Fallon is at the top and seems to have treated Trump and Coughing Cathy fairly equally.
Fallon is not a fool, and wants as wide an audience as possible. Liberals would rather he take one for their losing team and piss off half of his potential audience to make them feel better.
Do you wash your hands after going to the bathroom, would have been my question to Fallon.
Hilarious...Leftists heads exploding because someone had the audacity to humanize a Republican presidential candidate.
At my age, this is the most exciting, weird, surprising, explosive election cycle, ever! And I love it...
Anything other than outright contemptuous hostility would infuriate them.
“Was it really that funny? No, it was not....”
Yes, it was. The audience laughed. The viewers laughed. It’s just you faggot-loving, Trump hating libtards who didn’t get it.
Lots of “progressives” do not have a sense of humor.
“What a wonderful election.”
No kidding, huh. I’m old enough to remember all the serious elder statesmen in the late 50s and in the 60s. People actually held the federal government in good regard before it began sticking its nose into every corner of daily life and bleeding the nation dry. Now its one gigantic scary-clown emporium.
Last I checked Jimmy Fallon was the host of the Tonight Show not Meet the Depressed or Slay the Nation. He’s an entertainer. He’s not there to ask political questions. The left whining about Trump not getting grilled by Fallon is priceless. I’m gonna start investing in pharmaceutical stock, especially those companies that produce anti-depressants because their sales are gonna through the roof because the lefty meltdown, already in progress, will be truly epic.
It’s a good to be alive.
Crooked Hillary and the biased media ABSOLUTELY HATE that Donald Trump is now on their turf. I say: Too Bad.
This is so funny. The wannabe fascists on the left are gone all apoplectic over the fact that the narrative they desperately want and many of them actually believe is not sticking. The Deplorables march on....
