Fallon spoke in favor of the Washington Post report that Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid opposition research firm Fusion GPS to investigate then-candidate Donald Trump as part of a project that led to the dossier compiled by a former British spy... “I regret I didnt know about Christopher Steele’s hiring pre-election. If I had, I would have volunteered to go to Europe and try to help him,” Fallon tweeted. “If I’d gotten his dossier before Nov 8, I may have tried to convince Mook & Podesta to let me hold a Comey-style press conference to read it.”...

The surprise tweet from a little-used FBI account came about 1 p.m. Tuesday, announcing that the agency had published on its website 129 pages of internal documents related to a years-old investigation into former president Bill Clinton’s pardon of a fugitive Democratic donor. The seemingly random reminder of one of the darkest chapters of the Clinton presidency a week before the election drew an immediate rebuke from Hillary Clinton’s campaign — with its spokesman tweeting that the FBI’s move was “odd” and asking whether the agency planned to publish unflattering records about Republican candidate Donald Trump. “Will FBI be posting...

I may have awakened him. The late James Jesus Angleton, once the chief of CIA counterintelligence, sounded kinda groggy to me after I got him–loud and clear!–on my famously untrustworthy ouija board. Of course I have no idea whether he gets to sleep at all. I don’t quite know exactly “where” he is, after all, and he doesn’t answer direct questions on the subject. Anyway, there he was, and I started right in. ML: So what am I supposed to think about Petraeus? JJA: That you’re living in a country where espionage is rampant. ML: Huh? JJA: Have you read...

The late-night TV audience appears to be splitting into two distinct groups, ratings data out Tuesday reveals. While “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” attracted more total viewers for the 12th straight week — widening its lead last week over its NBC rival — NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” for the week ended April 21, widened its lead in the demographic favored by advertisers.

Hillary Clinton's former press secretary admitted Wednesday that the campaign was caught off guard by what he called the "Breitbart effect" during the 2016 election. Fallon made the comments during an appearance at Yale University on Wednesday. Fallon spoke of the organized, pro-Trump counter-narratives that seemed to dominate the news cycle, which often ended up putting the Clinton campaign on the defensive. Fallon said the so-called Breitbart effect cultivated a "standalone ecosystem in conservative media that very aggressively and successfully promoted certain stories and narratives we had a blind-spot for during the campaign.” Indeed, as the election stretched on and...

Spread rumors about Russian vote rigging, push protests Hillary Clinton’s campaign operatives have fueled efforts to delegitimize President-elect Donald Trump, pushing allegations of his complicity with Russian email hacks and boosting protests of the inauguration. Brian Fallon, a former spokesman for the Clinton presidential campaign, has said there’s “too much evidence” that Mr. Trump was in league with Russian spies trying to rig the election. Former Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri used Twitter to circulate maps of protest sites for Mr. Trump’s inauguration on Friday. Neera Tanden, a policy adviser on Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, has made her anti-Trump stance...

RUSH: Now, the audio sound bites. The Hillary campaign is in utter denial. You know, folks, I keep hearkening back to things (not to be redundant, not to drive you crazy, but to drill home things I think are important), and one of the relatively new profundities that I have developed and provided you is one of the key elements to understanding liberalism. And it is this: They don’t believe in reality. Liberals are so manufactured and so phony and so artificial, they don’t believe in reality. They think reality is something that majorities create to exclude them, like marriage>...

A former top Hillary Clinton aide says President-elect Donald Trump is worried about his legitimacy. “I think Donald Trump is trying to cling to whatever legitimacy is still in effect here,” Brian Fallon, Clinton's former press secretary, said Friday on CNN’s “New Day." Fallon called Trump's critical tweets about Clinton earlier Friday "just the latest indication that Donald Trump is someone who’s very insecure in his victory. And I understand why.” “Every day there are new developments, new shoes dropping, so to speak, that call into question the legitimacy of his win," he said. Fallon pointed particularly to intelligence reports...

On May 19th 2015 Clinton’s campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, wrote an email containing: (Via WikiLeaks) […] DOJ folks inform me there is a status hearing in this case this morning, > so we could have a window into the judge’s thinking about this proposed > production schedule as quickly as today. The issue is not necessarily the content of the information inasmuch as the documented evidence the DOJ was in direct communication with the Clinton campaign about the status of email litigation matters. The inappropriate contact is the issue, not the content of the inappropriate contact. The appearance of the...

The batch of emails released by Wikileaks on October 7 includes one in which Hillary Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon explained that Clinton “would support…closing the gun show loophole by executive order.” Fallon also highlighted Clinton’s support of universal background checks–which have already failed in California, Colorado, Washington state, and Paris–and her support for a scenario wherein victims of crime would be able to sue gun manufacturers. In the email, dated October 4, 2015, Fallon mentions that Today had made clear they were going to ask Clinton about guns. At that time she was still locked in a tougher stance...

Hillary Clinton made a very problematic and insultingly “othering” joke about homeless on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The host handed his guest a brown paper bag full of props to set up his jokes, and Clinton observed that the bag was “pretty beat up” and “looks like a homeless person’s.” No. She. Didn’t. [VIDEO AT LINK] Social media users were not impressed with multimillionaire (and multiple home-owner) Hillary Clinton’s condescending attitude toward real estate-challenged Americans. Sarmo @jordansarmo It's like a homeless persons bag? Wow... Go home Hillary #NeverHillary https://twitter.com/roark__/status/778241472739024896 … 10:52 AM - 20 Sep 2016

I wanted to share this with you all this morning. Someone posted the Jimmy Fallon clips of Donald Trump, and while watching I noticed this clip on the side bar of Jimmy Fallon and Carol Burnett. And it reminded me how really really great Carol was, ( and still is). I think of the thousands of sketches that she and Tim Conway and Harvey Corman did that were so very very funny. But Carol is not the only one. America has ALWAYS had great funny ladies, THEN and NOW. Who is your favorite? By the way, does anyone have a...

Liberal Tonight Show viewers were left incensed after host Jimmy Fallon did not try to take down Donald Trump or attempt to trip him up with “gotcha” questions during the pair’s interview on the NBC program Thursday night. Instead, Fallon hosted Trump for an entertaining but insightful interview, during which the candidate clarified his relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, talked about the upcoming first presidential debate and let the late-night host “mess up” his usually well-kept hair. That wasn’t enough for progressives on Twitter, who took to the platform late Thursday night and Friday morning to excoriate Fallon for...

“The Tonight Show” host humanized a dangerous man on Thursday night. Jimmy Fallon had Donald Trump on “The Tonight Show” Thursday night, and all some people could talk about afterward was a head rub. Toward the end of the interview, Fallon asked the Republican presidential nominee if he could mess up his famous head of hair on live TV, leading to raucous applause and the sort of bite-sized video that both the creators and consumers of internet media eat up. Before the rub, Fallon did sneak in a few subtle quips, like asking Trump if he knew what a coin...

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - If Jimmy Fallon had any credibility left as a thinking comedian with a point-of-view, he lost the last shred of it Thursday night. Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared on "The Tonight Show" for a few minutes to talk up his campaign, in the midst of one of the mendacious and evasive 24-hour periods of his political career to date. Yesterday, Trump ended a slimy two-day news cycle by finally admitting that President Barack Obama was born in the United States -- but in the process, re-stoked the controversy, waffled on the topic, and manipulated media...

Wow! This was devastating! How did her campaign allow this to happen– hillary-fallon-mask Jimmy Kimmel greeted Hillary Clinton in a surgical mask Friday on The Tonight Show. Hillary had overheated, fainted, stumbled, pneumonia, flu, walking pneumonia… non-contagious pneumonia this week. Even Fallon doesn’t trust her. Did Jimmy Fallon just pounded the final nail in the coffin of Hillary Clinton's campaign? #SurgicalMask #TonightShow pic.twitter.com/SB0TanhJsh — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) September 17, 2016 Mike Cernovich says she just gave up. And Dilbert creator Scott Adams weighed in. Oh my god

<p>Donald Trump's famous hair is being wildly mussed up on national television.</p> <p>When Trump appeared Thursday for a taping of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the talk-show host closed his interview by asking if he could do one silly thing with Trump since he could be president the next time he appears on the show.</p>

NBC is worried Jimmy Fallon's drinking may be getting out of control after The Tonight Show host injured himself for a third time in four months, sources claim. Last week the talk show host was spotted in New York City with band aids after injuring his hand at a Harvard party. Jimmy had been 'holding a bottle of Jagermeister' and greeting fans when he tripped over a woman who had bent down in front of him, People reported. He fell and landed on the broken glass. It's the third time the star has been hurt and sources say NBC are...

I can't stop watching this. It's even funnier than when it first came out. Folks every day it gets better. I watched Reno, NV yesterday. ONce again the media carries it live. Trump is like a stand up comic. We are watching a phenomenon. If a few of these people will drop out and endorse him, like Huckabee and the chunky one from New Jersey, Trump is going to carry every state. CAn't wait for SNL. Will be the largest audience in their history.
