Jimmy Fallon Lights Up Mike Pence With Scathing ‘Heated Rivalry’ Gay Joke

And it involves his Friday night "Tonight Show" guest Caitlin Clark The post Jimmy Fallon Lights Up Mike Pence With Scathing ‘Heated Rivalry’ Gay Joke appeared first on TheWrap .

Jimmy Fallon took aim at former Vice President Mike Pence's controversial views on LGBTQ+ rights during his "Tonight Show" monologue on Friday. The late night talk show host mocked the conservative politician by referencing the HBO Max drama series "Heated Rivalry," which features a storyline centered around two muscular hockey players, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

Fallon playfully reenacted Pence's apparent fascination with the show, portraying the former Indiana governor as a visibly enthralled viewer who calls his wife, Karen, "mother" while exclaiming, "They're in the same bed!" Fallon's remarks came in the wake of WNBA star Caitlin Clark's appearance on the show, leading to Fallon's witty quip that her team, the Indiana Fever, might be something Pence enjoys after watching "Heated Rivalry."

The comedian's sharp humor left the studio audience in stitches as he continued to caricature Pence's reactions, ultimately leaving the audience in fits of laughter.
