  "account": "During his Thursday monologue on \"The Tonight Show,\" Jimmy Fallon delivered a joke that caught longtime Roots keyboardist James Poyser off guard. Fallon informed his audience that thieves in Philadelphia had broken into a trailer and stolen 3,000 pounds of frozen crab. This led to a joke from Fallon about the ease of obtaining crabs in Philadelphia, to which his bandmates, including Poyser, burst into laughter. As the shocked and amused faces of both Poyser and his bandmates were shown on camera, Fallon advised Poyser, \"You gotta come to rehearsals, dude.\" This exchange occurred as part of a humorous routine addressing various topics, including the viral \"Dune: Part Three\" popcorn buckets. Fallon also took shots at President Trump, mocking his recent cognitive exam claims and comparing it to identifying animals in a multiple-choice test. Fallon also joked about Vladimir Putin's supposed collaboration with Elon Musk on a Russian version of Starlink internet, questioning Trump's assessment of Musk's intelligence based on his ability to identify camels.",
