Jimmy Fallon gives Donald Trump softball mock job interview for that position he's trying to get

(Image credit: The Tonight Show)

On Monday's Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon suggested he run guest Donald Trump through a "mock job interview," because, he told Trump, "you're running for the biggest job in the world, really, the most important job." The questions, typical of what you might encounter trying to stock shelves at a local supermarket, don't really live up to that billing. Trump's answers swing back and forth between humor and campaign rhetoric, and Fallon appears as disinterested as a mid-level HR person on a TV show about a dysfunctional office. Tell us about yourself, Donald: "Well, I'm an extraordinarily handsome person." Greatest strength? "I think, believe it or not, bringing people together." Why do you want the job? If you can't figure out Trump's answer to that one (hint: it's his campaign slogan), watch the video below. Peter Weber
