Jimmy Fallon isn’t any Jimmy Kimmel.
The ABC host is a political creature, utilizing his “Jimmy Kimmel Stay!” perch to push progressive speaking factors. Kimmel almost misplaced the gig because of this, selling a bald-faced lie within the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Fallon, the “Tonight Present” host since 2014, treats his late-night gig as a late-night gig.
Laughs. Sketches. Superstar interviews. Monologues.
Besides these monologues lean relentlessly to the Left. And, now and again, so do the sketches. Fallon claims in any other case, telling CNBC’s “Squawk on the Avenue” that his method isn’t political in nature.
“We hit each side equally, and we attempt to make everyone chuckle, and that’s actually the best way our present works… I simply hold my head down and ensure the jokes are humorous.”
That could be a lie, one the Legacy Media has repeatedly shared over the past 24 hours.
The reality? Sure, Fallon isn’t obsessive about President Donald Trump like his hard-Left friends. That half is correct. These hungry for fair-and-balanced political satire nonetheless have to look elsewhere.
It’s not discovered on this “Tonight Present,” in contrast to the times of Johnny Carson and Jay Leno.
The proof?
Fallon routinely chats up Democratic politicians and infrequently invitations right-leaning company on his present. Greg Gutfeld’s current look shocked Hollywood as a result of it was such a uncommon prevalence.
Fallon isn’t above utilizing his platform to advertise left-leaning politicians. He invited then-presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg on his present in 2020 to shamelessly hawk his candidacy.
Fallon has used his “Sluggish Jamming the Information” bit to push political speaking factors through the years. That phase deserted its bipartisan method through the Obama years. If you happen to suppose he’ll let President Trump sluggish jam information about immigration or tariffs, you’re fooling your self.
He additionally has fawned over Democrats like Andrew Cuomo and Hillary Clinton and pushed ineffective masking in public, a hard-Left speaking level.
Fallon’s “Tonight Present” monologues routinely hit Trump and the GOP a lot, a lot tougher than the Democrats. Keep in mind how Fallon mocked President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and Vice President Kamala Harris’ phrase salad speeches?
We will’t as a result of it didn’t occur. Fallon, like the remainder of his late-night friends (not named Gutfeld) protected Biden relatively than converse reality to energy.

The largest instance of Fallon’s overt, left-wing bias? Fallon invited Trump onto his late-night sofa in 2016 through the presidential race. Late-night hosts routinely invite presidential candidates on their present, besides over the past decade, that has meant completely liberal politicians.
Fallon handled Trump like another visitor, and there’s nothing flawed with that. Through the alternate, Fallon playfully tousled Trump’s signature ‘do, displaying the world it isn’t a toupee or different hair equipment.
It’s actual.
The Left and Legacy Media retailers, however we repeat ourselves, melted down over the incident. The far-Left blowback was so extreme Fallon apologized.
Let’s be clear. A late-night host apologized for treating a visitor like a visitor.
Fallon’s “Tonight Present” has been reliably liberal ever since. To say in any other case is Pretend Information on steroids.
Editor’s Be aware: It’s a brutal time to be an impartial journalist, but it surely’s by no means been extra vital given the sorry state of the company press. If you happen to’re having fun with Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll contemplate leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
