Jimmy Fallon once again welcomed Jay Leno to "The Tonight Show" on Wednesday, June 15. The current host of the NBC talk show pulled something during the monologue, but thankfully the veteran comedian was there so he tagged in to finish the monologue.

The 66-year-old delivered a few jokes about the upcoming election and the candidates, including Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. "I've been enjoying Donald Trump's new reality show, 'The Amazing Racist'," he said.

Not forgetting Bernie Sanders, Leno joked, "Bernie Sanders is still upset because he says his fundraising dinners didn't raise as much money as Hillary Clinton's ... well, of course they didn't, nobody wants to eat dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon! How much cream of wheat can you eat?"

He then turned the topic to economy. "The economy is so bad in Utah, I saw a polygamist with just one wife. That's how bad," he said. Fallon then joined Leno onstage to deliver a few "the economy is so bad..." jokes.

Leno also sat down with Fallon to talk about the second season of "Jay Leno's Garage", which premieres Wednesday night on CNBC. Caitlyn Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Robert Herjavec, Nick Cannon and Vice President Joe Biden are among those who will make an appearance on his show.
