Tonight he wore a face mask with Hillary. It's a show nobody takes seriously.

It has never promoted itself as being anything other than that.

The show has never presented itself as a serious view of anything – especially politics.

The show has never been promoted as hard-hitting news, nor Fallon as a journalist who asks the tough questions.

It is what it is. Plain and simple. The show has never pretended to be anything other than what it is.

To get all riled-up about Fallon not going after Trump is like getting all riled-up about the judges on “Dancing With The Stars” not considering the contestants’ political leanings as part of their decision process.

You have to ask yourself: Exactly what did you expect when you tuned-in?

If you expected a serious discussion about political policies on Jimmy Fallon’s show, you should have known better. Really.

He just moves and goofs around. I watched his "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" with Seinfeld. He is the perfect Network guy.

He exposed the fraud by exposing the bald head underneath that roadkill.
