Late-night’s least political host had a lot to say about Trump’s attendance at the NBA Finals.
Jimmy Fallon used Donald Trump’s appearance at the NBA Finals to roast the president on Monday night. The late-night host made a rare series of quips about the president, ripping into Trump for appearing at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden in New York.
“Heading into tonight, the Knicks have won 13 games in a row,” began Fallon. “New Yorkers haven’t been this excited since they added outdoor seating at Flashdancers. ” “I mean, this is really—yeah, 13 in a row, including a one-point nail-biter on Friday night. That was amazing.
One point,” he continued.
“It was so exciting, not even Trump could sleep through it,” Fallon added, inadvertently President Donald Trump appeared to doze off as he sat next to Knicks owner James Dolan at the NBA Finals. “Speaking of the president, the big story surrounding tonight was that Trump decided to attend the game here at Madison Square Garden,” Fallon continued, as the audience booed.
“Trump was going to sit courtside, but officials were afraid the players would start dribbling his head,” he quipped. “Usually when Trump sees a three-pointer, he’s identifying a triangle on his cognitive test,” joked Fallon, imitating Trump.
“Meanwhile, because Trump went to the game, the watch party outside of the arena was canceled,” Fallon said. “And fans had to arrive two hours early to get through security. It’s like Trump asked himself: ‘How could I get my approval rating down to zero? ’”in mocking the president’s attendance at the game.
Fallon is generally considered the least political of his cohort, but has increasingly taken Trump, 79, attended the game as a guest of Knicks owner James Dolan, a longtime friend of the president whoThe New York City Police Department and Secret Service cancelled an NBA Finals watch party near Madison Square Garden, with fans advised to arrive at least two hours before Monday's game due to heightened security for Donald Trump's attendance.
