Jimmy Fallon is proud of Republicans’ retaking the House of Representatives control this week. This is especially true considering they didn’t resort violence and weaponry as they attempted to seize it back in January last year.
During Thursday night’s monologue, the “Tonight Show” host touched on the fact that Republicans officially secured the number of seats needed for a majority — though at a significantly slim margin — and was met with silence from the audience at saying so. He had some consolation for them.
“On the bright side, it’s nice to see them seizing the House without zip-ties and a Viking helmet,”He laughed.
Fallon then tied in this week’s chaos surrounding Taylor Swift’s “Eras”Tour joked that maybe Ticketmaster was to blame for the GOP’s small margin for seats.
“Republicans are still fighting over why they couldn’t get a few more seats. They don’t know if they should blame Trump, McConnell or Ticketmaster,” he quiped.
The late night host was, of course, referring to the fact that Ticketmaster canceled the public sale of tickets for Swift’s impending Eras tour this week, drawing harsh backlash from both fans and politicians like Amy Klobuchar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow’s public on-sale for Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ has been cancelled,”The companyTweeton Thursday.
Then again, earlier this week Fallon joked that Trump himself is pretty adept at losing seats, saying that his daughter Tiffany’s wedding was supposed to have “a ton,”However, the twice impeached former president “somehow lost them all.”
