  "account": "Jimmy Fallon did not take a typical weekend off this week as he hosted a new episode of \"The Tonight Show\" following the Bears-Bucaneers game on Sunday night. To maintain the NFL spirit, Fallon crafted a fake promotional video for the game, which made fun of President Trump's performance in the midterm elections. Even though Trump did not face a direct election, he repeatedly urged voters to think he was on the ballot. Consequently, when Democrats enjoyed significant victories during and after the election, it was perceived as a clear rebuke of Trump and his policies.\n\nDuring his monologue, Fallon primarily discussed the football game he was watching, teasing a previous promotional video for the matchup. \"If you want to see someone get blocked, knocked down, and absolutely clobbered,\" a stern voiceover stated, \"then watch Trump during the midterms!\" Keeping the theme, Fallon hinted at the Chicago Bears' upcoming matches, noting their win over the Buccaneers, placing them at 7-2 and second in their division. He humorously compared the games to \"all the animals from Trump's cognitive test.\"\n\nIn another segment of his monologue, Fallon jokingly mentioned Trump's new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, who replaced Susie Wiles last week. \"Ooh. Looks like Voldemort's nephew,\" Fallon quipped. \"Shouldn't be chief of staff, he should be hiding in a sewer with a red balloon.\" \"The Tonight Show\" is broadcasted weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET.",
