Badminton with Idi-Aminton?

"Official Reichskomedian Fallon presided over the televised funeral of Jon Stewart today stating 'The mysterious death of Mr Leibovitz should, in no way, be construed as a threat to the enemies of the state. Any greatness being made by his unfortunate passing is a sad side effect but we should be grateful for the

"Surely I, a well respected internet commenter deft at deploying only the dankest of memes with a dozen disqus followers to my name, ought to have been considered to host the show before some pudgy Englishman!

Damn- Jeb! Is rocking some serious carb face. Guess the Paleo routine didn't outlast his campaign. Probably been some wild nights of just compulsively eating microwave quesadillas and trying not to cry thinking about how he squandered $100 million, a family legacy and may have doomed the republic.

Cruz has just enough self awareness to know how loathsome he is; it makes him a much more complex character than Trump.

That's,based on Diamond shipping physical copies - I'm sure if you included digital distribution the number of readers has got to be even more impressive.

There's plenty of blame to be laid on the feet of the GOP during the primaries. Trump got a free pass during the early debates- he wasn't a "real" candidate. You had Bush using his $100M war chest to go against Rubio, you had Cruz constantly buttering up to Trump, Carly making shit up about fetuses being harvested.

Yeah that was bad as well. It definitely shaped perception of Bush (remember Naked Gun?) but seemed to get much better media coverage.

The optics of it would have been terrible even if there hadn't been months worth of right wing conspiracies about pillows and seizure pens. I really hope it wasn't a turning point. The only thing that I think is comparable is Dole falling off the stage and he had war wounds to explain it. I can remember this

Seeing how well the GOP managed to cripple the Supreme Court by denying the President the ability to nominate Merrick Garland really doesn't give me hope for any checks and balances on Trump.

Biased time travelers are total mess! Unable to kill me- complete quantum LOSERS. Sad.

The Overton window has been lurched so far into the crazy with this guy. Like today his anti-abortion coalition was announced along with his signaling his pandering to the hard core fringe yet every headline is how he graciously conceded that the President was born in America

I think Trump and Putin are going to make the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact great again.

What blew my mind was how effectively he dismantled
Hillary's meticulously researched speech on the alt-right's role in his rise simply by calling her a bigot for supporting Democratic policies. Every headline afterwards became "Trump, Clinton exchange accusations of racism"

Mean Tweets coming up….when you release your tax returns.

The man is teaching a masters class in media manipulation. He's consistently violated every norm but the institutional inertia of the mass media is just unable to react appropriately. Jimmy Fallon simply couldn't ask the hard questions, the Tonight Show no longer has influence or a point of view and the only

It's weird… All those "if you could go back to 1932 would you stop Hitler" questions have become surprisingly apt.

If you want to get conspiracy theory note that while Lorne produced The Late Show with Conan he was NOT credited as a producer during The Tonight Show period. And now he's back getting sweet resids from Fallon.

Huh that's pretty interesting and plausible.

That scene in the penultimate episode where she's molested by the Sklar brothers is genuinely disturbing- especially because it's such a repudiation of her "arc".
