Jimmy Fallon's Trump makes his Supreme Court pick a conveniently distracting game show
President Trump is once again making a big show out of selecting a nominee for the Supreme Court — only this time he's on a tight deadline, an already historically deadly viral pandemic is getting worse again, the economy is on the rocks, and a very consequential election is just over 40 days away. Jimmy Fallon captured all that in a Tonight Show skit Tuesday night, where he dressed up in his Trump costume and turned the discernment process into a literal game show, So You Want to Be A Supreme Court Justice. His criteria included pointedly unspecified "values," looks, and, of course, distraction.
