Talk show host Jay Leno stopped by Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show" on Monday, tagging himself in the latter's opening monologue and took the opportunity to poke fun at some of the 2016 U.S. election candidates.
Fallon claimed that he "pulled some muscle" to bring in Leno for the occasion. The host of the CNBC show "Jay Leno's Garage" began the monologue with a joke in line with Halloween, poking fun at Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who he claims got scared when a trick-or-treater showed up at her doorstep as a lie-detector.
Clinton's rival, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, also became the subject of Leno's jokes, reported Entertainment Tonight Online. He referred to Trump as a "smart businessman," saying that the loud-mouthed billionaire would yell "trick" and "declare bankruptcy" before kids could ring his doorbell and yell "trick-or-treat."
Leno then proceeded to tease current U.S. president Barack Obama, as well as Clinton's husband, former U.S. head of state Bill Clinton. But it was his dig at former NBC employee Billy Bush, who was fired after he got involved in a lascivious conversation during an appearance from Trump in the show "Access Hollywood" in 2005.
"I had a great costume this year. Earlier tonight I put a douche bag on my head, went out as Billy Bush," Leno said, reported The Hollywood Reporter. He then suggested that Trump should hire Bush so he could "grab bush whenever he wanted," making a reference to Trump's comment about grabbing women's genitals.
Fallon joined in on the jokes, letting out a few puns about how bad the economy is before throwing jabs at Anthony Weiner. "Instead of paying for heat, people are huddling around exposing Samsung phones just for the warmth," Fallon said after jesting that the former congressman was "faxing people pictures of his junk," referring to his sexting scandals.
