NBC’s Jimmy Fallon is defending his decision to keep his show from becoming an anti-Trump crusade like other late night hosts have, saying many of the president’s words and actions are just “too serious” for joke fodder.
“With Trump, it’s just like every day’s a new thing. He gives a lot of material. A lot of stuff is hard to even make a joke about,” Fallon said in a preview of an NBC “Today” show interview to air Sunday. “It’s just too serious.”
Too be sure, several late-night TV hosts have, since essentially the start of Trump’s winning 2016 White House bid, made attacking and satirizing the president a big part of their monologues.

You mean Fallon, right?
Jimmy, I knew Johnny Carson, Johnny Carson was a friend of mine (though he didn’t know it) Jimmy YOU ARE NO JOHNNY CARSON!
Stewart had some good moments. One of my kids, in college at the time, would send me segments of his from YouTube that he thought I would like, Stewart is very liberal and Trump basher but he did land a few good shots on Dems.
Last late night TV I ever watched was Carson in the late 80’s.
The rest of these liberal/prog creeps are just crap and propaganda, not worth my time.
Kimmel’s a good guy.
Wait, I thought Kimmel is the one who was beating up on Trump over Obamacare big time...and other political issues?
Why do you think Kimmel is a good guy??
“They all had a mancrush on the Kenyan, so there was never ANYTHING funny that he did.”
Way more than a mancrush; they are active organizers in the sedition against the fabric of “America”.
Every new age cohort thinks that they invented political comedy.
Lenny Bruce waged war with the obscenity laws. And lost.
The Smothers Brothers injected leftwing activism into their act in the late ‘60s and discovered that America wasn’t amused.
Mort Sahl did an overtly political act without being insulting.
George Carlin had political barbs in his act.
The difference in most of these comics was that unlike today’s losers they weren’t mean spirited.
Yes
“..active organizers...”
Agreed... but you could see the look on their faces whenever they spoke about him.
Like “Chrissy Tingles” Matthews.
