"Democratic candidate John Hickenlooper is thinking of dropping out of the presidential race," Jimmy Fallon said on Wednesday's Tonight Show. "'Don't do it!' said absolutely no one. Do you guys know about John Hickenlooper? Yeah, that's part of the problem. He's leaving the race — when he broke the news to all his supporters, they were like, 'Cool, Dad, thanks for telling us.' It makes sense — right now he's polling at zero percent." Fallon added insult to injury by never quite showing a photo of Hickenlooper.
