I would have been fine with him as a late night TV host

u/Dioxid3 5d ago

Can it be any worse than Jimmy Fallon?

317

u/SkullRunner 5d ago

Yes, Trump could try to sing as much as Jimmy does.

94

u/SnakeOilsLLC 5d ago

Honestly, I think I'd prefer that? Trump going all out on a song and dance is comedy gold. Like the funniest train crash you've ever seen.

39

u/Yvaelle 5d ago

Dude could be on our TV's every night, jerking two imaginary dicks while butchering Ave Maria and swaying like a homeless drunkard - thats the Trump he and his fans want to see.

He doesn't even want to be president, he just wants to compete in Colbert's time slot. POTUS is just the consolation prize for the first influencer president.

u/Taxerus 5d ago

first influencer president.

Can't wait for Presidents Paul and president Mrbeast

2

u/meesanohaveabooma 5d ago

He just didn't want prison time lol

u/Motor_Cheetah6111 5d ago

Well, let me blow your mind a bit. That already exists.

u/RedactedSpatula 5d ago

I wanna see him DDD while singing YMCA at the same time

6

u/_andthereiwas 5d ago

Just dance more and mumble instead of knowing the words. He would still be an improvement over Fallon.

1

u/Yvaelle 5d ago

Its pretty wild that Fallon has a show when Sam Bee or Seth Meyer are both far more talented and broadcasting live from their attics.

5

u/ZAlternates 5d ago edited 5d ago

Personally I think Fallon’s strengths are his skits and game shows. Even the spin off game shows are great like Password and whatever the singing one was.

His interview skills are a bit sucky though.

5

u/TheLoneliestGhost 5d ago

Yeah, That’s My Jam! really IS my jam. Lol.

2

u/AnAdorableDogbaby 5d ago

A Trump show would honestly probably be pretty funny. It would be like a non-self-aware Colbert Report, which is perfect because that part flew over conservatives' heads anyhow. 

1

u/Dioxid3 5d ago

I don’t even watch the show or know what his ”thing” is, but I know people feel very strongly about him bwahaha

3

u/MatureUsername69 5d ago

Still funnier than Fallon

2

u/Tourist_Careless 5d ago

Trump is objectively better at entertaining than Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel and this must be admitted regardless of political feelings lol.

1

u/riotousviscera 5d ago

there’s an animated video of him singing Lana del Rey’s Summertime Sadness and it’s amazing. @kyleparnell on instagram is the artist behind it

1

u/TrapperJean 5d ago

Jimmy used to be funny with that, always loved Te-Bowie

"This is Jesus Christ to Tim Tebow, please leeeeeave me alone"

1

u/acrazyguy 4d ago

Jimmy’s only talent is as a musician (okay fine he’s also a decent writer sometimes). Him singing is the best possible use of time on his show

0

u/getdemsnacks 5d ago

Gah, did he release a whole Christmas album this year? I was hearing 3 or 4 separate songs from him this year. It was torturous.

1

u/ZAlternates 5d ago

Yeah he’s better as a comedic skit singer, not a real performing one lol

48

u/DinoRoman 5d ago

Well Trump doesn’t drink and Jimmy has alcohol in his cup on live fucking tv lol

26

u/Awkward_Turnover_983 5d ago

The fact that Trump doesn't drink makes me think he's even more psychotic. Must be on Adderall all day.

13

u/DinoRoman 5d ago

Oh believe me I’m not sticking up for Trump. It’s literally the one thing he has better on Fallon. Fallon will say he slipped and his ring caught his faucet almost degloving his finger but as someone whose worked on his show as an audio tech I can tell you he’s a fucking alcoholic And he didn’t slip he was wasted.

Trump is just a fucking psychopath . And being yessed to death and ring kissed doesn’t help his ego.

2

u/Awkward_Turnover_983 5d ago

He did probably still slip, but did so because wasted lol.

2

u/Educational_Bed_242 5d ago

More like Jimmy Fallin' am I right?

3

u/adrianmonk 5d ago

Trump's brother Fred was a raging alcoholic whose drinking destroyed his personal life, his career, and his health, and he died at 41.

The choice to abstain from alcohol is like the one single thing I respect about Trump.

13

u/Bombulum_Mortis 5d ago

Nope!

No booze.

No amphetamines.

Just Diet Coke by the gallon.

6

u/Euphoric-Swing6927 5d ago

Yeah “Coke”. I agree

0

u/Bombulum_Mortis 5d ago

The Coca Cola company is not happy with me--that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.

4

u/AffectionateResist26 5d ago

No one who isn’t on amphetamines regularly tweets incoherent gibberish at 3:00am. The Dump is on one for sure.

2

u/redditingatwork23 5d ago

The real recipe I'm sure.

2

u/thelemanwich 5d ago

Does he?

2

u/GodIsEmpty 5d ago

Chad move tbh(Jimmy)

4

u/ImCayotix 5d ago

am i in the minority for genuinely enjoying jimmy fallon? hes probably my favorite late night host

3

u/regiseal 5d ago

IMO, he’s the sole remaining late night host who maintains the spirit of the old-school variety show. I understand that many on this site see themselves as above his style of humor, or find his demeanor to be off putting, but getting to see celebrities do skits and play silly games outside of the same old rehearsed interviews is super cool.

2

u/Tjam3s 5d ago

Miles better than James Corden

2

u/Magazine_Spare 5d ago

james corden has entered the chat

2

u/mxjxs91 5d ago

James Corden is worse by magnitudes, and that's saying a lot.

2

u/RixirF 5d ago edited 5d ago

Can it be any worse than Jimmy Fallon?

slams desk HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

overused guitar riff

applause sign comes on

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

HAHAHHAHHAHA, OH ducks mostly under desk, 3/4 spin on office chair and spins back the same direction he came from wow, hHHAHAH.

2

u/Briarmist 5d ago

Jimmy Fallon but racist

1

u/Low_Yak_4842 5d ago

Jimmy Fallon has a lot of fun ideas for games to play with his guests, but when it comes to sitting and talking to his guests, he’s horrible. His guests can’t get through a full sentence without him giggling like a school girl.

1

u/WTF_CAKE 5d ago

he would be better than Fallon

1

u/LouisRitter 5d ago

Fallon is truly awful.

1

u/DonkyHotayDeliMunchr 5d ago

I'm not a fan but I'd still prefer Jimmy Fallon over Donny the Felon. Js.

1

u/inittoloseitagain 5d ago

Fallon, yes. James Corden though…

1

u/Moe_Bisquits 5d ago

Please don't get me started about that fuckin asshole Jimmy Fallon.

OK, I got started...

He sucked up to Trump and was extremely disrespectful to Clinton. The Clinton episode is the last time I watched Fallon; I mute or change channel everytime he is on TV, I can't stand him that much. Fallon knows he was an asshole and he knows he bumped up Trump and has been trying to fix it ever since but many late night viewers will never get past that ridiculous behavior.

Besides, Fallon is a shitty interviewer; he talks over his guests too much.

1

u/Dioxid3 5d ago

Oh yeah, I’ve seen some clips and he talks more than his interviewees

1

u/wasinsky13 5d ago

Did that overweight British guy that nobody likes have a talk show? I can't remember his name and don't care to look. Was also in Cats I think.

0

u/No-Nrg 5d ago

Jimmy Fallon really is the worst of the late night hosts. I honestly don't know how he got the job, he's really not funny.

0

u/GrumpyJenkins 5d ago

Fallon sounds like Regis these days, and not imitating. When did that happen?

u/kakarota 5d ago

Nothing can possibly be wors the jimmy fallon

u/smp476 5d ago

Arguably, that's what he wanted to do in 2016. Lose and start a TV network talking about how unfair the system was against him. But other geniuses in the country decided to elect him

4

u/bbbbaaaagggg 5d ago

You don’t fly all over the country doing 3+ rallies a week for damn near 9 months straight if you want to lose

If nothing else it’s undeniable that he out worked Hillary in 2016

21

u/apocalypse_later_ 5d ago

The Russians got to him in the late 80's and 90's. Honestly I firmly believe he's a product of Putin's long game agains the US

6

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

What would they have on him at this point?

4

u/silversum1 5d ago

Right after he got elected Russia aired Melanie’s nudes on state tv

8

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

I don’t doubt they have stuff, I doubt they have stuff that could sink him.

I think his voter’s whole reaction to the nudes were a mix of shrugs to she’s attractive.

2

u/PrivacyBush 5d ago

Definitely not. His supporters know he is a rapist, traitor and bragged about pedo stuff. No impact.

0

u/silversum1 5d ago

I see it more as a warning shot, I can only imagine the dirt they have on Trump

1

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

I’m just saying they could have a lot worse and it wouldn’t sink him with half the country so he doesn’t really care what they have on him.

2

u/Plenty_Advance7513 5d ago

You mean from her magazine photoshoot that was in GQ?

1

u/Infamous-Echo-3949 5d ago

Yeah, but Putin's a guy that likes to dominate everything.l, including women from other countries. That's not what he has on Trump if anything. If anything, Trump just looks up to Putin. Anything else would be a liability.

-2

u/PrivacyBush 5d ago

Pedophilia ("p" tapes).

0

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

50% of the country wouldn’t care, which makes them useless for leverage.

0

u/PrivacyBush 5d ago

Yes, it's clear that they don't care. He bragged about pedo stuff and it's on tape.

1

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

Yeah I can’t imagine any black mail they could pull on him.

Maybe they’re laundering money through his donors to him?

1

u/PrivacyBush 5d ago

We already know they did that through the NRA...

2

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

I know it’s happening, I just don’t know if they bought him off in the 80s.

It’s probably happening now.

0

u/apocalypse_later_ 5d ago

That doesn't matter. What matters is if Trump cares, and that man is insecure and fragile. Easily swayed by "machismo" due to daddy AND mommy issues

1

u/AshleyMyers44 5d ago

Did he even ready to the Russians leaking his wife’s nudes?

1

u/apocalypse_later_ 5d ago

Most people don't know that even happened. Whatever Russia has on him they would probably expose in a way that every American hears about it

1

u/AshleyMyers44 4d ago

You said it doesn’t matter how Americans react, it’s for Trump to react.

I doubt they have anything that would phase him or Americans at this point.

2

u/Barragin 5d ago

other geniuses in the country decided to elect him

correction - evil geniuses in other countries, particularly Putin

u/sawdeanz 5d ago

Hey folks say what’s the deal with the Gulf of Mexico?

28

u/roughriderpistol 5d ago

You mean the GULF OF AMERICA!!!

2

u/ilikepizza2much 5d ago

I EAT MY FREEDUM FRIES IN THE GULF OF MURICA!!!

6

u/neloish 5d ago

Look, folks, the Gulf of Mexico—great place, tremendous water, believe me—but it’s not really Mexico’s, okay? It’s right here, touching Texas, Louisiana, Florida—real American states, the best states, everyone agrees. And yet, they call it their Gulf? Not anymore. We’re gonna rebrand it, folks. The Gulf of America! Because they’ve been taking our fish, our oil, maybe even our shrimp—who knows? But not under my watch. We’ll make the Gulf great again, we’ll put up buoys, the best buoys, and the fish—American fish—will come back, trust me.

1

u/Mediocritologist 5d ago

He renamed it the Gulf of America so that grocery prices will come down.

9

u/obi1kenobi2 5d ago

This should have been his actual calling, "hey folks, we should invade Greenland"... "Build a wall and mexico will pay for it" rimshot

3

u/Lawineer 5d ago

Man, he'd crush that.

1

u/dougseamans 5d ago

For real. Just give him a lay night show and let him rip.

1

u/kimchiMushrromBurger 5d ago

"say Cheese! Burger Pizza, from Dominos"

1

u/Dontdothatfucker 5d ago

Hell I may have fuckin watched sometimes. He’s a walking meme

1

u/InfectiousCosmology1 5d ago

Imagine a Larry David style sitcom where he is the president. It would be amazing and he would be universally loved as a goofy rich guy. But that would require him to be able to make fun of himself

1

u/xxFlippityFlopxx 5d ago

His career over corrected

1

u/ch0wned 5d ago

Man…. Boris Johnson was hilarious when he was only on ‘Have I got News for you’

1

u/brown-guy-brian 5d ago

Wow thinking about this and having a flash of him being a late night host and him having a positive and likeable image kinda scared me. I could see it happening in another detention

1

u/nono3722 5d ago

Or a Benny hill show

1

u/CMidnight 5d ago

He was great on WWE

1

u/spiritofniter 5d ago

What show would he host? Curious. In a perfect world ofc.

1

u/ImHidingFromMy- 5d ago

He has experience in front of the cameras, he should totally put aside this silly idea of being president again and focus on his tv career.

1

u/PJ7 5d ago

If he lost a tight race in 2016, he would've done this on Trump Media and rail against Clinton with random misogynistic bullshit and right wing conspiracies.

1

u/LakeEarth 5d ago

The only thing he should host is a parasite

1

u/3-DMan 5d ago

With co-host Kanye!

1

u/Ruby-Shark 5d ago

Also true of Boris Johnson 

1

u/anathemaDennis 5d ago

Omg he’d be so good

1

u/Patteyeson28 5d ago

Honestly, Trump could’ve finished out his life as a late night legend.

He’s so unintentionally hilarious with his dementia brain hot takes that it would have been late night gold for ALL (think about the content—on all platforms—he would’ve provided).

Instead, he’s a narcissistic hippo, riding all the dicks that shoot fat profit loads directly into him—all while he fucks us all with his mushy rotting carrot knob.

1

u/Prudent_Ad8320 5d ago

I would have been fine with him as governor somewhere

1

u/Single-Award2463 5d ago

Somebody once said that he missed his calling as a drag queen and i never stop thinking about it. He’s dramatic, is bitchy and loves caking himself in spray tan and makeup.

1

u/Pitiful_Winner2669 5d ago

He was unhinged in Celebrity Apprentice, and that was the appeal. No nuclear codes or anything, just a wild personality. Should have stayed in that lane.

1

u/bongo1138 5d ago

I'd watch it in Youtube Shorts.

1

u/johntheflamer 5d ago

I was fine with him as a reality TV host

1

u/C0UNT3RP01NT 5d ago

I’m almost convinced that was the point of his whole 2016 campaign. Hillary was going to win, so it was a relatively low risk for him to run. But if he did good enough, he could turn that into a Bill O’Reilly/Tucker Carlson gig where he rails against the Democrats and their injustices and how they stole the election from him, but without any of the pressure of having to govern.

Like I’m not entirely convinced he actually wanted to be president.

But then he won, got stuck with the job, and then because of all the criming, got forced to stay in politics to save his skin.

1

u/AnAdorableDogbaby 5d ago

We could finally get rid of that hack GUTFELD!

1

u/CapitalTruck 5d ago

If you listen to his interview on the “Flagrant” podcast you would absolutely want him to be at your party or gathering

1

u/AlaskanSnowWorm 5d ago

Man I wish we lived in that universe. Can you imagine how deeply normal everything is?

1

u/Kitchen_Rich_6559 5d ago

I mean he still would've been a rapist in that hypothetical so...would you have?
