It’s no secret that late-night TV hosts have a thing for taking aim at the Trump administration, and Jimmy Fallon is no exception.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday’s installment of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,<\/a> June 2, the 51-year-old opened the show saying, “Trump’s just said they couldn’t care less that peace talks with Iran are collapsing, because they started to get very boring.”<\/p>\n Fallon was referring to President Donald Trump<\/a> talking about ongoing peace talks with Iran and describing them as \u201cboring\u201d during an interview with CNBC the day before, telling a reporter that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t care less. If they\u2019re over, they\u2019re over.\u201d Fallon continued, “Yeah, Trump is losing and bored, also known as monopoly mode. Just take my breath again.<\/a><\/p>\n “Oh, and apparently, during a recent call with Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump told Israeli Prime Minister, ‘You’re effing crazy.’ It’s like Pete Hexette, telling Kash Patel, ‘No, you’re drunk.'” Fallon was making a nod to the FBI Director’s heavy media scrutiny over allegations of excessive drinking and on-the-job intoxication.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Patel has vehemently denied the allegations, filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, which published the initial report, and retains the backing of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n Fallon wasn’t finished there and went on to take aim at the 79-year-old leader himself. “You guys see this in her new memoir, Jill Biden said that former President Biden would have beaten Trump in 2024.<\/p>\n “She’s right, assuming she’s talking about a soup-eating competition or an Amtrak trivia contest, when he heard that Trump called up Jill Biden and said, ‘I just want to say you’re effing crazy,'” he concluded.<\/p>\n A clip of the monologue was shared on social media, where viewers were quick to chime in. One X user said, “Man.. that is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.”<\/p>\n Kash Patel filed a lawsuit against The Atlantic over the report<\/p>\n With a second person joking, “HAHA! Now THIS is comedy! Late night is alive and well!” prompting a third user to add, “War is never the answer.”<\/p>\n “The Iranian people deserve peace, stability, and respect for their sovereignty. It\u2019s time we focus on diplomacy and de-escalation instead of conflict,” they added.<\/p>\n A fourth viewer chimed in, “I love it @FallonTonight Great humor. Don’t you think so, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump #DonnyLiar,” with a fifth pointing out, “Looks like Fallon has decided to kick up the ‘bash Trump continuously’ angle that\u2019s working so well for the other late night shows. Exhausting.”<\/p>\n President Donald Trump was the subject of Fallon’s monologue (Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n It comes after fellow late-night show host Stephen Colbert concluded his time on air after CBS axed his long running program. Much like Fallon, Colbert also made a series of jokes at the Trump administration, prompting the president to call him out on Truth Social several times.<\/p>\n CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026, citing steep financial losses, with the show allegedly losing tens of millions of dollars annually.<\/p>\n However, many critics and industry experts suspect that political factors played a role, given Colbert\u2019s frequent satire of Trump and its timing alongside a massive Paramount-Skydance merger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Fallon isn’t letting President Donald Trump’s threats hold him back, as for the opening monologue of his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[6905,64,63,2490,134,6517,32412,427],"class_list":["post-713056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-abc-news","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-donald-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-jimmy-fallon","tag-kash-patel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Kash](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3_GettyImages-2272944704.jpg\")
