Fallon, the smiling, friendly face of the 1%. With your Capital One™️ card!

Everyone already knew Jimmy was a pussy

The Tonight Show has always been politically neutral, or cowardly, depending on how you look at at it. I remember Johnny Carson being the same way, back in the 70s.

Yeah Fix loved saying that.

Jimmy has always been a punk bitch.

The worst guy from SNL who now hosts the worst late night show doesn't want to piss off magats? Shocking

At this point, "avoiding politics" is more of a political statement then talking politics.

"Sitting on the fence is painful" as one of my teachers once told me.

He who sits on fence, gets splinters in ass

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 20 hours ago

he who sits on fence is full of shit

Always has been.

We know. Your a milquetoast pussy that will read whatever the teleprompter tells you, and you'll fuck up your lines all the same.

Not even a D level SNL alumni

Don't you get it? He breaks character. He's basically Carol Burnett.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It’s tough but fair.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 day ago

yeah that’ll save you, jimmy

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not like he needs the money, he has nothing to lose.

Coward.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fame. Can you imagine the ego boost of having your own nightly show broadcasting worldwide?

He doesn't wanna risk it to take any stand, and because of that he'll continue to earn his place in history as anything but interesting or extraordinary.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

i mean sure but also: can you imagine the ego boost of going down on the right side of history? it's not like the amount of people that would respect him for speaking out is insignificant.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Too long term for him I guess.

Reminded of the time when RuPaul put the fear of God into Jimmy Fallon.

The man is spineless and clearly doesn't know how to navigate any subject he sees as too touchy.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

No one expected anything more from you, Fallon.

Yikes bro bad look

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 23 points 1 day ago

If people are expecting Fallon to step up then their country is already well and truly in the bin.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago

Milquetoast Man #2? Wow I'm shocked.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

This is fine. I don't need anymore takes from the guy responsible for that fucking tone-deaf celebrity "Imagine" video.
