Jimmy Fallon "is a total lightweight," Fallon told Hillary Clinton on Wednesday's Tonight Show, in character as Donald Trump (the gold phone is a nice touch). "So I'm going to do him a favor and interview you instead." Clinton, on an iPhone, poked fun at her own reputation: "That's great — you know how much I love being interviewed." And, proving them both right, it's not exactly a hard-hitting interview. They make fun of Trump's hair, Bernie Sanders' hair, Trump's multiple marriages, and Clinton's lack of pizzazz.
"See, you sound like a robot," Fallon's Trump said, after Clinton answered his question about women's rights. "You want to win? Here's what you've got to do: First, yell. I yell all the time." He wasn't done: "Next, pick three things everyone loves, and say you hate them." It's a novel way to conduct an interview of a major presidential candidate, and you can watch below. Peter Weber
