Jimmy Fallon Reacts to Karoline Leavitt’s White House Exit
The “Tonight Show” host said President Trump had been surprised by the press secretary’s decision to step down. “She was like, ‘I wanted to wait for a good time but there hasn’t been one, so.’”
On Thursday night, "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon joked about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's resignation. Fallon suggested Leavitt wanted to be around something quieter than President Trump, specifically her four-month-old baby. The president was reportedly caught off guard by Leavitt's decision, which led to Trump blaming her resignation on pool vandals.
Fallon also quipped about Trump's search for a new press secretary, suggesting his doctor as a possible candidate. He mentioned that conservative commentator Scott Jennings is reportedly the frontrunner to replace Leavitt, making Jennings another former television personality in the Trump administration. Fallon ended his monologue by poking fun at a recent Washington Post report, joking about President Trump's escape from an assassination threat and pondering who he would be comfortable being stuck inside a catering truck with.
