Read our privacy policy Anyone who expected Jimmy Fallon to go tough on Donald Trump during last night’s interview clearly hasn’t been watching “The Tonight Show.” Fallon is nothing more than free advertising for his celebrity guests. “It’s an element that we miss, especially with the campaign nearing fruition, to have a big dopey, puffy Donald Trump here.” Then, as he always does, Letterman made fun of Trump’s hair. In any case, it was enough to get Trump back on “The Late Show.” During the 2015 visit, Letterman introduced Trump as “America’s favorite real estate mogul and slumlord.” And when Trump came on, Letterman wasn’t about to let his guest say whatever he wanted and get away with it. Let’s see the paperwork on that.” When Trump complained about how the United States looked like a third-world country, Letterman asked for solid ways Trump could fix the problem.
