Jimmy Fallon cracked some jokes about the weather, Game of Thrones, and President Trump's trade war on Tuesday's Tonight Show, and then he turned to some entertainment news, featuring Trump's favorite Fox Business pundit. "Detective Pikachu is now in theaters, and on his show last night, Lou Dobbs decided to mention the movie — but he had a little trouble with the name 'Pikachu,'" Fallon said, playing the clip and laughing. "Everyone in the studio was like, 'Bless you.' Also in theaters, Avengers: End-gah-may." Still, he said, his Pikachu pronunciation was "not as bad as our favorite Lou Dobbs clip, when he tried to say the name of a Mexican town." You can watch (or rewatch) that timeless gem below.
