In a surprising coincidence, two late-night shows featured children on their sets on Wednesday. On “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon walked onstage with a little boy on his shoulders, mirroring an earlier move by Elon Musk who brought his 4-year-old son to the Oval Office for a press conference with President Trump.
Fallon’s appearance was likely inspired by Musk’s visit. During the press conference, Musk and Trump were joined by Musk’s child, Don Jr., who watched an episode of “Bluey” on an iPad as they discussed federal spending. Fallon poked fun at this moment during his monologue, likening Trump to a dinosaur chicken nugget protector.
President Trump also spoke with Russian president Vladimir Putin over the phone, discussing topics such as Ukraine and energy. Trump stated that he had a nice call with Putin but acknowledged getting “off track” towards the end of the conversation.
Additionally, comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo pitched his new crypto venture on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” The upcoming episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” will feature Harper Steele, a former writer and star from “Saturday Night Live,” along with actor Will Ferrell.
