Jimmy Fallon says he will avoid politics on The Tonight Show.
Let’s be clear: Cowardice isn’t funny. Silence in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism isn’t neutrality — it’s complicity. Urge Fallon and his producers not to be entertainers who keep their heads down: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/cowardice-isnt-funny-tell-jimmy-fallon-silence-complicity/?source=mastodon
We don’t need more celebrities pretending that Trump and MAGA aren’t tearing away freedoms and weaponizing government.
@indivisibleteam So he's quite being funny, then. Got it.
@indivisibleteam
This is easy. Leave his ratings to his MAGA fans.
I don't think he has any, here's their chance to prove me wrong.
@indivisibleteam
I’m personally no longer “entertained” by politics or satirical political humor. Sometimes people need respite from the constant barrage of Trump, Trump, Trump and all the evil he and his cabal are causing — along with all the horror occurring in the rest of the world.
I don’t watch any network TV nor video clips of late night shows, but if I did, I’d watch Fallon just to get away from the relentless coverage of all that’s wrong right now.
Not engaging in rehashing the nightmare we’re living through doesn’t make him a coward. I’m as involved in #Resistance as much as anyone (and donate to Indivisible), but you’re not the arbiter of all that “should be” in America.
@indivisibleteam
If his comedy had a color it would be taupe.
@indivisibleteam what a surprise, the guy who laughs at his own jokes like he's a bobble head has no spine
@indivisibleteam jimmy fallon is always will be a tool. Never was a fan.
We need every institution (from Congress to late-night TV) to rise to the moment.
Fallon is ducking and covering, and it’s shameful. Millions of people don’t have the privilege of keeping their heads down when their rights and futures are under attack.
Cultural leaders have a choice: Stand up against authoritarianism or be remembered as enablers of it. Cowardice isn’t funny. Silence helps Trump. Take action: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/cowardice-isnt-funny-tell-jimmy-fallon-silence-complicity/?source=mastodon
“So really, I just keep my head down and make sure the jokes are funny.” https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/jimmy-fallon-avoid-politics-tonight-show-1236535575/
@indivisibleteam that is the same as bending the knee.
How utterly disappointing and not-at-all surprising, fucking coward...
@indivisibleteam he’s always a coward, and will the first to vie for fascist lapdog of the year
@indivisibleteam Well he is good at keeping his head down.
He has NEVER been funny.
@indivisibleteam I mean…it’s not like this is a change for Fallon. He hasn’t challenged authority or power in living memory.
@indivisibleteam
Fail! He isn't funny either.
@indivisibleteam Because he knows the 🤡 will soon come after him. And order NBC to replace him with Apprentice reruns.
@indivisibleteam what a gutless coward.
and nobody was surprised - we all remember the hair-tousle circa 2015
