“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....

Democrats just “assume” that everyone thinks like they do. It is not Jimmy Falons job to be a sjw.
Are you saying Dill still bills bimbos?
Fallon is an entertainer. Nothing more. He’s after ratings or he’s out of a job. His “mussing of the hair” was brilliant.
I’ve never seen a lefty condemn ANY late night host for treating hitlary or jugears the same way.
“Are you saying Dill still bills bimbos?”
No, I think he does it for free...
I have never seen Obama or Hillary treated in any manner like what they expected Falon the treat Trump. Why does the left assume everyone thinks like they do? They just assume Falon should be a fellow traveler.
We suffered through it with GW - but then GW wouldn't fight back. Trump will and he will shame anyone stupid enough to try to go toe to toe with him.
I'm looking forward to it.
A well bred person is polite to their invited guests.
The notion of being able to “humanize” a human being— ANY human being— appalls me.
Whatever you think of them, all humans are humanized at conception.
If they are reprehensible in some way, it is because...they are human!
(Believer in “total depravity” if you couldn’t tell)
No, Letterman is THE example of how NOT to mix comedy and politics.
Turns out that he ended up being not good at either.
I liked Letterman a long time ago, when he was just having fun, and the audience was along for the ride.
When he went full-retard leftist and a giant anus to anyone non-liberal, I actually began to despise him.
Why invite someone on your comedy show and insult them?
At the very least, it's RUDE.
“It’s just you faggot-loving, Trump hating libtards who didn’t get it.”
Libtards really need to ESAD. By the million.
“Jimmy Fallon obviously has talent. I think he will be the next Johnny Carson.”
But Johnny was likeable. Ever see the picture of him as an ensign in WWII?
Yep, seems pretty even up to me. He’s a comic and he razzes people. That’s his shtick. Neither of those instances strike me as mean spirited.
So any joke about OJ Clinton is sexist, but you aren’t supposed to “humanize” a monster like Trump. Gotcha.
Sounds like all of the cognitive dissonance that it takes to be a rat these days is catching up to them at once, causing extreme mental instability and stress. President Trump is going to have to build a bunch of mental hospitals to clean up the aftermath of the election.
Hey, I know - Give the veterans free access to private health insurance, eliminate the VA and convert all of the VA hospitals into mental health safe spaces for distressed libtards.
