In the softball interview with Trump, Fallon cheerfully tousled his hair (Trump is notoriously sensitive to criticism about his hair ); this was seen a missed opportunity to seriously question someone campaigning for the most powerful job in the world. But Fallon has never been a hard hitter with his jokes: even as a co-host on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update in the early 2000s, his quips were more playful than biting. He isn’t known for his tough questions; he prefers to play games like “Wheel of Impressions” with his guests. Fallon’s jovial nature lends itself well when he celebrates his guests — like his viral interview with Cardi B — and that affability was, perhaps, not the best fit for someone like Trump.
