Jimmy Fallon was in a playful mood on a post-“Sunday Night Football” episode of “The Tonight Show” ― and it spiraled into NFL-related jabs at President Donald Trump. (Watch the video below.)
“We’re coming to ya after tonight’s game between the Chicago Bears and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” the host said. “The Bears have a tough schedule with games against the Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins and Seahawks. Basically all of the animals from Trump’s cognitive test.”
A few monologue plays later, the comedian asked the audience to check out the “pretty awesome” promo before the game.
A narrator says dramatically, “If you wanna see someone get blocked, knocked down and absolutely clobbered, then watch ... Trump during the midterms!”
That got audience cheers, kinda like the ones for the Bears at Soldier Field after a game-winning field goal by Chicago’s Cairo Santos.
While Trump faces far more important issues after Democrats won back the House and Senate in the election, he took time out on the campaign trail to gripe about the NFL’s kickoff rules.
