A planned collaboration between late night host Jimmy Fallon and powerful entertainment executive Tommy Mottola to launch a branded line of pasta sauces is now kaput as the entertainment mogul’s name is being discovered all over the Epstein Files, exposing his close relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender and trafficker.

Fallon and Mottola have been close friends for years, often spotted palling around New York together and frequently enjoying Italian American dishes at East Harlem mainstay Rao’s.

The longtime entertainment exec's name (Mottola) has appeared over 600 times so far in the caches of documents related to the investigation into the late sex offender.

Where are the memes with Epstein with a noose and pasta sauce?

Not sure but Fallon better watch out or he might find a horse's head in his bed when he wakes up some morning.

The massive number of people associated with Epstein is why Trump made sure everyone wanted the files released. That way the TDS idiots couldn’t say that the files were released for political purposes. I would bet there are more people we would be quite surprised by who had some involvement with Epstein.

Meanwhile every moronic liberal on Facebook just casually asserts that Trump is a pedophile and they post memes of Trump with the words “I [F word] children. I have women in my neighborhood doing this, while every democrat was all over Epstein.

And btw you can partly blame that pos Massie for this.

But somehow this was never done to Obama or Biden.

Were it anything less than lurid evidence of criminal activity, up to and including torture and rape, possibly of underaged females, one would imagine Fallon would not have made this move.

For sure; I can only imagine how many celebrities consulted their lawyers regarding the Epstein files. ALSO, the article mentioned the Mottola visited Epstein properties in Manhattan and Paris while he was serving time.

Is there a scoreboard somewhere keeping track of which side has more guys getting zapped by Epstein? So far it seems lopsided towards Democrats/lefties.

The secret to a good tomato sauce is the meat, beef and pork, but you have to have the pork.

I tried slicing garlic that thin. Turns out I don’t have the patience for it.

“...name is being discovered all over the Epstein Files”

Some enterprising person will download that entire mess, use an AI program to pull every name and put it in a separate file. Charge for access, instant wealth!

I’d be surprised if Fallon’s name wasn’t connected to Epstein, too, although I didn’t see that in the article.

Planned Pasta Sauce?

Of course. We all know how much Epstein and his gang of depraved perverts loved their special flavor of "pizzas." What better way to make and enjoy their very own delicious pizzas than with their very special "Planned" Pasta Sauce with ever so secret ingredients.

If Tommy Mottola is mentioned in those Epstein files, it’s likely his ex wife Mariah Carey’s name is also going to pop up, although it would probably be out of context.

Should not have redacted a single name. Not one.
