Taking a cue from his unforgettable predecessors, including hosts Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Fallon carrys on the tradition that audiences know and love – kicking off every show with the iconic “Tonight Show” monologue.

Donald Trump clarified, sort of, a long-standing question about his personality during an appearance on Friday’s “Tonight Show”.
Fallon then pointed out that in the almost 15 years since the attacks, he’s hosting The Tonight Show and Trump is the leading Republican presidential candidate.
Trump’s answer cracks the studio audience while Fallon, still in his Trump impersonation, gestures with his head and mouth, “smart move”. He offered few details about how me might carry out policies, but said he was “an efficient guy” who had “the kind of mindset we need in this country”. Sitting at a dressing room “mirror”, Fallon/Trump conversed with his mirror image, asking him hypothetical questions that “lightweight” Fallon might ask during the actual interview. “What the hell just happened?” He also asked Trump if his predilection for making off the cuff remarks might lead him astray. The appearance marks Trump’s first on a late-night program since announcing his candidacy.

Fallon asked the billionaire developer if he has ever apologized for anything, and Trump was quite clear: he’ll apologize, if someone can prove he’s wrong, according to an Associated Press report. Last night, Colbert won notice for an interview with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden that touched upon tragedies in both men’s lives. That’s right. “Donald Trump” interviewed The Donald himself. Trump turned the tables on Fallon, noting that since he (Fallon) was Trump, he could tell him what he would do.
