AceShowbiz - Hillary Clinton is the latest politician coming to late-night show. The fomer First Lady stopped by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday night, September 16, taking part in a sketch where Jimmy Fallon played Donald Trump.
Mrs. Clinton had a phone call with Fallon's Trump, who said, "Congratulations! You're speaking to Donald Trump. ... I haven't seen you since my last wedding." She responded, "Well. I'm sure I'll see you at the next one."
He attempted to interview the former Secretary of State, asking what she would do to help women in this country. "Donald, I've spent my entire career fighting for women's rights. I'll push for equal pay in the workplace, I'll protect women's health and reproductive rights, and I'll make quality, affordable childcare a reality for families. That's what I believe in. That's what I'm fighting for," she explained.
She asked him back, "I'm curious. What's your stance on women's issues?" Fallon's Trump replied, "I know a lot of women, and they all haves issues." He also took issue with the way she spoke and tried to share some advice.
"See, you sound like a robot," he claimed, " 'Bleep, blop blorp, does not compute.' You wanna win, here's what you gotta do. First: Yell. I yell all the time. In fact, this phone isn't even plugged in. I'm just yelling, and you're hearing me. Next: Pick three things everyone loves, and say you hate them. Puppies? Stupid. Rainbows? Total losers. Fall foliage? Tree puberty."
"Are you writing all this down?" he asked. Mrs. Clinton said, "Hold on, lemme just grab my pen," while she actually picked up a glass of wine and drank it. "OK, Donald, I got it."
During a sit-down with Fallon, Clinton also commented on Trump being a GOP frontrunner. "He's making the most out of it and I'm having a good time watching it," she said. When Fallon mentioned that Trump once criticized her for using a teleprompter, she responded, "I could go more stream of consciousness of course," and did her best impersonation of Trump's voice.
Fallon then brought up her email controversy. "Nothing that was sent at the time, or received, was secret. This was all retroactive. It's a little hard to explain but sometimes different government agencies argue about what should or shouldn't be what's called classified," she said.
