Late-night host Jimmy Fallon says his program is meant to entertain, not to divide, and he has no plans to change that.
During an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street this week, the Tonight Show host said his monologues are designed to reach a wide audience.
“Our show’s never really been that political,” Fallon said. “We hit both sides equally, and we try to make everybody laugh. That’s really the way our show works. The monologues are the same style they’ve been since Johnny Carson was hosting The Tonight Show.”
