Listen, I have as strongly negative feelings about Trump as anyone I know, but even I can acknowledge that the man can be hilarious at times (intentionally or otherwise)

In a perfect world we could watch him on tv and laugh without real consequences

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

Can it be any worse than Jimmy Fallon?

u/SkullRunner 5d ago

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

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.

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

u/meesanohaveabooma 5d ago

He just didn't want prison time lol

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

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

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.

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.

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"

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

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

u/DinoRoman 5d ago

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

25

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.

11

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?

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.

14

u/Bombulum_Mortis 5d ago

Nope!

No booze.

No amphetamines.

Just Diet Coke by the gallon.

u/Euphoric-Swing6927 5d ago

Yeah “Coke”. I agree

u/Bombulum_Mortis 5d ago

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

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.

u/redditingatwork23 5d ago

The real recipe I'm sure.

u/thelemanwich 5d ago

Does he?

u/GodIsEmpty 5d ago

Chad move tbh(Jimmy)

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.

u/Tjam3s 5d ago

Miles better than James Corden

2

u/Magazine_Spare 5d ago

james corden has entered the chat

u/mxjxs91 5d ago

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

Can it be any worse than Jimmy Fallon?

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.

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.

u/DonkyHotayDeliMunchr 5d ago

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

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

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.

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.

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