‘I Just Spit!’: Jimmy Fallon Drops Crushing Trump Parody After Days of Health Speculation, and the Punchline Has MAGA Fuming
Jimmy Fallon’s comedic timing has always been impeccable, and a new video clip from “The Tonight Show” demonstrates just how sharp his satirical edge can be when aimed at Donald Trump.
The recent segment featured Fallon launching into a rapid-fire musical sketch playfully reimagining Trump’s chaotic workday after days of speculation that he might not be alive.
On Thursday, Sept. 4, Fallon revived his viral “Vogue”-inspired skit from earlier this year with a fresh remix. Dressed in a brown suit with a striped tie, he was backed by Philadelphia’s own The Roots as he belted out a stylized takedown that mocked the president’s calendar as a series of trials, scandals, and distractions.
The parody spiraled into a full-blown roast with lines like: “Sunday at the White House, Monday in bed, Tuesday a speech to tell everyone I’m (alive)… Thursday losing a couple of trials while trying to block the files and claiming you never knew the man before untagged pics on Instagram…”
Fallon didn’t stop there, dragging the president’s habits — from golf binges to Diet Coke fixes at Cracker Barrel — and even mocking his workouts. By the end, Fallon’s punchline landed hard: a fake doctor checking his pulse and declaring, “Yep, still alive.”
When the clip made its way to Threads, viewers couldn’t contain their enthusiasm.

One person joked, “Record deal on the way.”
Another praised the performance, saying, “You’re very good at that keep it up. It gives us some relief from the hate that we continue to feel for the orange guy.”
The appreciation was widespread.
“Jim, You are a genius man!!!”
“I watched it 20 times.”
“I just spit pinot. hahahahaha.”
Another viewer expressed their admiration with “Omg my dear Jimmy…. You covered it well.”
Not everyone was purely celebratory, though.
“This is so stupid.”
“You’re an idiot. America loves Trump.”
“Careful you might go away like the WOKE.”
One concerned fan warned, “Alright Jimmy! Don’t get your show canceled next! He likes to retaliate, remember.”
This is not the first time he decided to make up a song about Trump.
Online viewers couldn’t help but laugh as the former “Saturday Night Live” star poked fun at the president in a January 2025 segment. The pre-recorded bit highlighted Fallon’s signature style, rattling off a mock presidential schedule with spot-on comedic timing.
“Sunday: save TikTok. Monday: start job. Tuesday: watch TikTok. Wednesday: back to job. Thursday meetings: give some orders,” he sang in staccato to the rhythm of “Vogue” by Madonna.
He built momentum as he continued the satirical itinerary. The segment crescendos with increasingly absurd tasks like “invade Canada” and “book a stay at White Lotus.”
He then weaves in references to golf outings and staff turnover, and there’s even a reminder for Trump to put his face on the quarter.
This comedic ammunition didn’t emerge in a vacuum.
Fallon’s history with Trump has been messy ever since a 2016 “Tonight Show” appearance that came back to haunt him.
At the time, Trump was still the Republican nominee, and Fallon playfully tousled with his hair in what seemed like harmless late-night banter. But many viewers weren’t laughing. Critics accused Fallon of normalizing Trump’s candidacy, and the backlash stuck.
The fallout from that interview continued to haunt Fallon.
He publicly expressed remorse in subsequent years. “I made a mistake,” Fallon admitted to The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m sorry if I made anyone mad. And looking back, I would do it differently.”
The host further acknowledged to The New York Times that his critics “have a right to be mad.”
This admission of regret surfaced in 2018 during Trump’s first term, fueling the grudge he would later hold against the host.
The response was characteristically combative.
.@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous “hair show” with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have “humanized” me-he is taking heat. He called & said “monster ratings.” Be a man Jimmy!

Fallon’s gracious response to Trump’s hostility demonstrated his commitment to meaningful action over petty feuds. Rather than engaging in a public spat, the talk show host made an announcement. He would donate in Trump’s name to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services. This nonprofit organization provides legal services to immigrants.
In honor of the President’s tweet I’ll be making a donation to RAICES in his name.

Trump’s attack wasn’t just about Fallon’s comedy — it got personal. Back during that hair-tug moment, the former reality star was eager to prove he had a full head of hair. But fast-forward to now, and eagle-eyed spectators are pointing out something different.
Recent photos show bald spots that weren’t nearly as visible a decade ago, sparking fresh conversations about the 79-year-old’s long-standing sensitivity around his appearance and the idea that he has a toupee.
Trump’s animosity toward late-night television extends far beyond his issues with Fallon. His ongoing conflicts with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers reveal a pattern.
These show his thin-skinned responses to comedic criticism. His issues with Meyers can be traced back to the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Meyers delivered devastating jokes about Trump’s presidential ambitions and appearance that night. This included the memorable quip about a fox appearing on Trump’s head.
The resurfaced Fallon clip shows exactly why Trump stays so pressed about late-night comedy. Fallon’s song turns his presidency into pure chaos — impulsive moves, petty fights, and shallow priorities. It calls out his short attention span while clowning the vindictive streak he wears so proudly. Comedy like this doesn’t just land a joke; it chips away at the image of power Trump tries so hard to project.
And when those punchlines go viral, the jokes stick with people a lot longer than the policies ever do.
