Jimmy Fallon brought laughter by describing President Trump as “the only 80-year-old yelling, ‘Get on my lawn!'” on “The Tonight Show.” As Trump celebrates his 80th birthday at the White House with an event marking America’s 250th anniversary, Fallon humorously noted that Trump’s birthday wish for world peace was followed by him setting up a boxing ring on the White House lawn.

Fallon joked that attending a U.F.C. fight would be a refreshing change for Trump, switching from sleeping inside a sporting event to outside. Fallon wasn’t alone in his comedic take on the situation.

Jimmy Kimmel added that U.F.C. C.E.O. Dana White assured the fight would proceed even if lightning struck, commenting on the improbability of such an event given the White House’s recent history. He humorously connected the administration to a Monster Energy sponsorship, suggesting a Monster Energy logo on the White House lawn wouldn’t be out of place. Kimmel further referred to one of the drink’s flavors, “Mango Loco,” as a fitting nickname for Trump.

Desi Lydic brought in historical humor by comparing the significance of the U.F.C. fight to how Franklin Roosevelt missed the end of World War II to attend WrestleMania.

The Punchiest Punchlines

In sports-related humor, Fallon and Kimmel continued with jokes about the Knicks. Fallon greeted Knicks fans with a good morning on “The Tonight Show,” remarking on the team’s unexpected success and imagining a nine-month baby boom of future Knicks fans. Kimmel compared this victory to a famous Ghostbusters villain’s defeat, and Fallon’s humor extended to Larry David’s unexpected happiness and a humorous comparison to Mike Pence leading a pride parade.
