Jimmy Fallon had a field day on Wednesday evening, as the fifty-two-year-old late-night host zeroed in on Trump and the GOP’s sweeping losses in the midterm elections. The Tonight Show host kicked things off with a sharp jab, telling his studio audience,“President Trump couldn’t do it with the [Lincoln Memorial] Reflecting Pool, but last night he turned the whole country blue.”The quip drew loud cheers and applause from the crowd. From there, Fallon gave a nod to the night’s history-making wins. These wins included Keisha Lance Bottoms, fifty-six, who became the first-ever Black woman elected governor, and Chris Pappas, forty-six, who became the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate. He tied it all together with a one-liner, calling it “a total blue wave caused by an orange president.”(The remark leans into partisan territory; Fallon's views are his own, made in a comedy setting, and are not endorsed by the publication.)Fallon then set his sights on the wider Republican Party, delivering a quip that drew the loudest reaction of the night.“The Republicans lost the House and the Senate. There’s going to be so many Republicans leaving the Capitol, it’ll look like a reverse January 6th,” he said.Several audience members audibly cackled at the dig, and Fallon himself swallowed a giggle as he tried to continue the monologue.Trump once told Jimmy Fallon to be a man after the comedian expressed regret over the famous hair incident on The Tonight Show:President Trump Speaks At The Lincoln Memorial On Eve Of Midterm Elections - Source: GettyBack in September 2016, Fallon had Trump on The Tonight Show as a then-presidential candidate and spent part of the segment playfully ruffling his hair on live television. It didn’t go down well with a lot of viewers. The SNL alum was later hit with heavy criticism from fans who felt he had given Trump a free pass, asking soft questions rather than pressing him on anything of substance during the appearance. The president chose to respond publicly in 2018, going after Fallon on what was then known as Twitter.As per a report shared by The Hollywood Reporter, Trump posted,“@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous ‘hair show’ with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have ‘humanized’ me. He is taking heat. He called & said ‘monster ratings.’ Be a man Jimmy!”(The post above is Trump’s own, shared on his personal social media account at the time; the publication is reporting it as part of this story and does not validate the characterizations made within it.)Fallon responded that same year on The Hollywood Reporter’s Award Chatter podcast, openly addressing the backlash. He visibly choked up at multiple points during the conversation, referring to the entire period that followed the 2016 segment as “definitely a down time.” In the interview, he said,“I did not do it to ‘normalize’ him or to say I believe in his political beliefs or any of that stuff.”Fallon didn’t stop there. Still emotional as the interview went on, he went further and apologized outright, referring directly to anyone who had been angered by the original Tonight Show appearance.“I’m sorry. I don’t want to make anyone angry -- I never do and I never will. It’s all in the fun of the show. I made a mistake. I’m sorry if I made anyone mad. And, looking back, I would do it differently,” he explained.Trump blames midterm losses on not being on the ballot while insisting he is willing to work with Democrats:US voters head to polls for midterm elections - Source: GettyAs per a report shared by The New York Times, the 47th U.S. President spoke to the publication in a phone call just before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, with election results still rolling in as the conversation took place. He was watching from the White House. Democrats were on track to take control of both the House and the Senate by then. Trump told The Times he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results, adding,“Well, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out.”The president attributed the Republican losses to his own absence from the ballot and defended his decision to go to war with Iran, calling it “a very wise decision.”(The statements above reflect Trump’s personal account of events, shared with The New York Times; this includes his characterization of the Iran decision and his broader record in office, on which the publication takes no position.)He insisted he had no regrets about his first two years, telling The Times,“I consider it to be the most successful two-year period in the history of any president.”
