Donald Trump is apparently nostalgic for “The Tonight Show” of years past, calling this week for the return of Johnny Carson as host of NBC’s late night program. Of course, that gave the hosts of “The View” a good laugh on Tuesday morning, considering Carson’s been dead for almost two decades.
While at a campaign stop on Monday, Trump recalled being on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon, hurling insults at the host and misremembering when exactly it happened.
“When I first ran, it was like 2015, thinking about running, I was going to run, I went on his show, right?” Trump said (it was actually 2016 and Fallon received quite a bit of blowback for not only having Trump on, but also for ruffling his hair).
