Jimmy Fallon ruthlessly teases President Biden following Covid diagnosis
NBC
Jimmy Fallon crapped on President Joe Biden in his opening monologue — cracking jokes about the Prez’s COVID news … and questioning if Round 2 in the Oval Office is in store.
The ‘Tonight Show’ host made some jokes at JB’s expense on Thursday’s episode — saying POTUS was lucky he couldn’t spread his diagnosis … especially since Democrats had already been distancing themselves from him after that debate debacle with Trump.

JF didn’t stop there … adding, “Thankfully, Biden is expected to make a full recovery, and his doctor said that he’ll be back to 60% in no time.” Obviously, he’s referring to questions about Joe’s cognitive abilities for a second term.
He also had a laugh about who might’ve given Biden COVID … playfully pointing fingers at Kamala Harris. And to top it off, he joked the diagnosis was the first “positive” news Joe has heard in ages. Funny stuff, no doubt … but it’s telling that Jimmy’s piling in a primetime slot.
Jokes aside, it looks like Biden will be just fine. His press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, said he’s fully vaccinated and boosted, and was only experiencing mild upper respiratory symptoms — just enough to make him want to get tested.
But, at the end of the day … Joe’s fresh health news only cranks up the volume on calls for him to bow out of the race — and so far, he’s insisting he’s sticking around.
