Say What Now?
On Tuesday, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, described President Trump’s upcoming Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin as a “listening exercise.”
“And we all know listening and exercise are Trump’s two favorite things, so this should go well,” Jimmy Fallon said on Tuesday.
“It’ll be a listening exercise. Yep, then a series of role-playing games, followed by an hour of trust falls and then Dollaritas at Applebee’s.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Today the White House said that President Trump’s upcoming meeting in Alaska with Vladimir Putin will take place in the city of Anchorage. Yep, temperatures should be overcast and in the 50s, or as Putin put it, ‘Beach weather, baby.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Meanwhile, Trump said that in his meeting with Putin, he will know probably in the first two minutes whether a deal is possible. It’s reassuring when a president talks about ending a war like a Tinder date.” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (Taylor Swift Edition)
“Taylor Swift is releasing her 12th studio album. So congratulations, white women, you’re finally back on top.” — NICOLE BYER, guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”
“Americans are like, ‘Wait, there’s good news out there? I don’t know what to do with myself!’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Seriously, we all need Taylor Swift right now, because without her music and her merchandise, we end up doing weird stuff like starting a Labubu collection.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yeah, following the announcement, Taylor’s website immediately crashed. Yeah, and then, out of habit, so did Ticketmaster’s.” — JIMMY FALLON
“As of now, we don’t know the exact release date, but we do know that no one else is releasing music that day.” — JIMMY FALLON
