Following Jimmy Kimmel‘s suspension drama, Jimmy Fallon opened up about his late-night show will move forward with its political commentary.
“Our show’s never really been that political. We hit both sides equally, and we try to make everybody laugh, and that’s really the way our show works,” Fallon shared during a Tuesday, September 30, appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street. “Our monologues are kind of the same that we’ve been doing since Johnny Carson was doing The Tonight Show.”
