Jimmy Fallon recruited an extremely sleepy David Alan Grier for a hilarious sketch of Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson watching Tuesday’s CNN Democratic debate together over the phone.
Fallon’s Trump woke Grier’s Carson from a nap to insult the left-leaning cable news discussion, saying that Lincoln Chafee “looks like a turtle that shops at Men’s Wearhouse.” Not to be outdone, the faux Carson referred to Bernie Sanders as “the angry Muppet.”
“This debate is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen — and I’ve met Jeb Bush,” Trump continued in his iPhone rant.
Later, we finally learn the true identity of Trump’s hair — apparently it’s a golden retriever of some sort, or perhaps a yellow Lab.
Every time Carson dozes off — which is a lot — he awakes from an apparent bad dream to shout “Hitler!” All that NyQuil guzzling probably isn’t helping his energy level, or his night terrors.
