The Tonight Show gives a glimpse into a Trump/Carson Democratic debate viewing party


If you wondered what it would be like to eavesdrop on Donald Trump and Ben Carson as they watched the Democratic debate together, ponder no longer. On Wednesday's Tonight Show, a high energy Trump (Jimmy Fallon) and a super calm Carson (David Alan Grier) gabbed over the phone about Hillary Clinton throwing shade, Martin O'Malley looking like "the fit old guy from the Cialis commercial," and Bernie Sanders being loud. "I don't get this guy, all he does is yell," Trump yells. "Do we really need a president who does nothing but yell?" We also discover some personal things about Carson — like he gets "four hours of sleep per hour" and his whisper is so quiet it's "only audible to dogs." Watch the clip below. Catherine Garcia
