Jimmy Fallon joked: “There’s even a dunk tank with JD Vance and a drunk tank with Kash Patel.”
Welcome to the Late Night Roundup, where we recap last night’s comedic highlights so you can catch up on laughs without losing sleep.
Jimmy Fallon shared his thoughts on a recent fair, highlighting various attractions. “There’s a 110-foot Ferris wheel and an antique carousel. Unfortunately, Marco Rubio isn’t tall enough to ride them.”
Headlines focused on President Trump’s rally during America’s 250th anniversary. Fallon quipped, “It’s the first event where B.Y.O.B. means ‘bring your own band.'” The rally included a military flyover, a performance by Lee Greenwood, and a speech by Trump. Fallon noted, “Even Trump’s biggest fans were like, ‘Is this a repeat?'”
The rally launched the 16-day Great American State Fair on the National Mall. “There’s funnel cake, corn dogs, turkey legs, and more,” Fallon commented, joking about Trump’s colonoscopy. He remarked, “The fair has everything, from dunk tanks to large Ferris wheels.” There are many games, and if you win a goldfish, Fallon speculates on the water’s origin.
The Punchiest Punchlines (World Cup Edition)
The U.S. plays Turkey in the World Cup, but both teams have no stakes in the game as the U.S. already advanced and Turkey was eliminated. Fallon highlighted humorous fan signs, like “Who is this for?” and “Every player should use their hands.”
Greg Gutfeld joked about a Brooklyn escort service charging World Cup soccer players $10,000 an hour because “it takes them two hours to score.”
Josh Johnson also added humor about T.S.A.’s strict rules with ranch dressing in carry-ons, saying, “No one’s going to blow up a plane with a bottle of ranch.”
