NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump clarified, sort of, a long-standing question about his personality during an appearance on Friday's "Tonight Show." Host Jimmy Fallon asked him, playfully, if the billionaire developer and GOP presidential front-runner has ever apologized for anything. "I fully think apologizing is a great thing," the famously self-assured Trump replied before winning the studio audience's applause by adding: "But you have to be WRONG. ... I will absolutely apologize sometime in the hopefully distant future if I'm ever wrong." That's how it went, with both Fallon and the audience eating out of his hand. In what...

Following their mirror sketch together, Donald Trump spoke with Jimmy Fallon last night and said he has absolutely nothing to apologize for.Trump went through his standard talking points about how he’s the greatest and does the best and how all the other candidates don’t really matter to him. Fallon threw in a few zingers here and there, and at one point asked, “Have you ever apologized, ever, in your lifetime?”Trump said no, because he’s never wrong. Fallon burst out laughing.Fallon also had Trump do a quick take lightning round in which he was able to get the GOP frontrunner to...

When Jimmy Fallon abruptly canceled his last new Tonight Show episode before a two-week break last month due to an unexplained injury to his hand, details were sketchy at first. Well, last night, he returned to the show with his left hand in a cast and spent several minutes telling his audience exactly how close he came to losing his finger after he tripped and fell on a rug in his home and caught his wedding ring on the counter as he went down. Whatever you do, don’t Google “ring avulsion.” Watch video below, via NBC:

Jimmy Fallon is in the hospital. The “Tonight Show” host reportedly checked into a New York City hospital late Thursday. He is reportedly getting treatment in the intensive care unit. This, however, has not been confirmed. The official “Fallon Tonight” Twitter account tweeted, “Hey guys – unfortunately tonight’s taping has been cancelled due to Jimmy injuring his hand. He’s totally fine but we’ll be airing a repeat. If you had tickets to tonight’s show, we’ll be in contact with you to reschedule your tix.” The account went on to insist Fallon is “okay,” and that fans shouldn’t “worry.” Earlier Thursday,...

Hear the one about Wendy Davis going to hell? A Republican state representative got a big laugh Saturday from Abbott and a roomful of supporters with a joke at Davis’ expense. Abbott faces Davis, a Democratic state senator, in next month’s general election for governor. On Saturday, Abbott and GOP attorney general nominee Ken Paxton were campaigning at a Tex-Mex restaurant in Frisco. Abbott was introduced by Frisco state Rep. Pat Fallon, who opened with a joke in which Wendy Davis visits a grade school and sees a boy reading a book about whales. Here’s the joke Fallon told: The...

TribLIVE | Opinion/The Review A misdialed number suggests a criminal conspiracy in the IRS scandal By The Tribune-Review Friday, Sept. 12, 2014, 8:57 p.m. Had Brian Fallon, Attorney General Eric Holder's communications director, just said, “Sorry, wrong number,” and hung up a week ago Friday, his apparent attempt to coordinate a document leak with staff for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, wouldn't be the IRS targeting scandal's latest twist. But Mr. Fallon didn't realize he had actually called staff for the committee's Republican majority before saying he wanted to leak documents...

LOS ANGELES – David Letterman, 66, rattled the entertainment industry on Thursday when it was revealed that after more than 32 years and almost 6,000 episodes in the late-night arena, he will retire in 2015 when his CBS contract expires. According to a source closely connected to the “Late Show” host, newly appointed “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon – his direct competition – inadvertently gave Letterman the final nudge. “David is older now; he had heart surgery some time ago and sees both Jimmy Kimmel [of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”] as well as the more formidable Jimmy Fallon now gaining...

“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon had some tough words for ObamaCare following the deadline for people to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Speaking on Tuesday April 1, Fallon joked that regarding the 7 million Americans that have signed up for health insurance, “It's amazing what you can achieve when you make somethingmandatory and fine people if they don't do it and then keep extending the deadline for months.” [See video below.]

On Wednesday's "Tonight Show" on NBC, host Jimmy Fallon as Russian President Vladimir Putin took a shot at ObamaCare, sang "McCain in the Ukraine" and "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen" during a phone call sketch with a President Barack Obama impersonator. The call wrapped up with Fallon as Putin confirming nothing was accomplished...

Open Letter to Jimmy Fallon: I have long been a fan of yours, from your SNL character Sully (“Tommy, please tell me you got that!”) to the best skit of all time, Cowbell. You appear in one of my top 10 movie picks (Almost Famous) and I much enjoyed the uniqueness of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. And last month I was delighted to see you take on the enormous role of replacing Jay Leno as host of the Tonight Show. The Tonight Show is an American institution that seems to belong to all of us. And it was like...

Fallon also pointed out that Obama took a "selfie" photo with Bill Nye "The Science Guy" and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. "I heard that photo set the record for the least re-tweeted photo of all time," Fallon joked, as the crowd laughed and applauded.

To paraphrase an old Oldsmobile ad campaign, the New Tonight Show is not your Father’s Old Tonight Show: Fallon, who is eyed a bit warily by some Republicans, had first lady Michelle Obama on Thursday — they have a chemistry between them — Something Like Oxygen and Magnesium: OMg!after launching his new show on Monday. He said recently that his show will not be the place to go for in-depth interviews with politicians and candidates. Oh noes! No more in-depth slow-jamming the news with the Prezzie? “Fallon’s slimmed-down diet of politics may not be a bad thing, said Erik Smith,...

The Obamas have had few more obsequious media allies than NBC's Jimmy Fallon. Now that he's taking over the hallowed ground of "The Tonight Show," Fallon's proven ability to spread his reach into viral videos on YouTube promises to become even more politically potent. Fallon's Obama-friendly sketches and interviews have become immediate "news" grist for the Comcast corps at NBC and MSNBC. The same sensation happens when Fallon is ripping into a Republican. Just as NBC and MSNBC were tearing Gov. Chris Christie apart over "Bridgegate," Fallon joined this political crusade by bringing on liberal rock star Bruce Springsteen for...

How did Jay Leno really feel in 2009, when NBC revealed its master plan to hand The Tonight Show over to Conan O’Brien?

"What they were thinking, I don't know. That's why they're not there anymore," he added. Six Secret Service employees left the agency last week, while another five are on leave and one has been cleared of any wrongdoing. A dozen others, all members of the military, are being investigated for misconduct by the Pentagon. Obama's appearance began with the president and host doing one of Fallon's regular bits, Slow Jamming the News, cracking jokes on student loans. "I'm President Barack Obama, and I, too, want to slow-jam the news,” Obama said as he emerged from behind a curtain. A background...

Now that Tim Tebow is a Jet, it's time for Jimmy Fallon to morph back into David Bowie: The Quarterback to sing about Peyton Manning.

What does iconic “Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks think of the Roots’ controversial entrance song for Michele Bachmann on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”? Eubanks, now on the road touring with his band, tells The Post he found Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s choice “very funny.” As she walked on the show, he and the Roots played “Lyin’ Ass B - - - h” by Fishbone — for which NBC has since “severely reprimanded” the frontman. On second thought, Eubanks says, it was “perhaps a bit too in your face.”

Michele Bachmann walked on the Jimmy Fallon show, while the band played the song "Lyin' Ass Bitch" without the lyrics. The drummer was named as the scapegoat and no one has yet figured out how the band knew to play the song without knowing the title or who on the show approves the musical selections. NBC maintains that the drummer, who bragged about the incident on his tweeter account, has since been grounded rather than fired. Like an adolescent, the drummer has been "grounded"? Does this mean the drummer received a tongue in cheek reprimand for committing gross disrespect for...
