This comment came in response to questions about the recent suspension of fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who was briefly suspended by ABC after making misleading political claims during a monologue about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel had suggested that the accused assassin was wrongly linked to pro-transgender activism and that the &#8220;MAGA gang&#8221; was trying to deflect blame.Fallon emphasized that his show strives to stay neutral and comedic, avoiding political controversies, maintaining the style of traditional late-night humor.Meanwhile, Kimmel&#8217;s suspension sparked mixed reactions, including a temporary rise in ratings that later dropped substantially.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Fallon said Tuesday that his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-get-a-tougher-skin-and-weird-s-happens-im-looking-forward-to-that-greg-gutfeld-on-the-launch-of-his-late-night-fox-news-show-gutfeld\/\" title=\"\u2018You Get A Tougher Skin And Weird S*** Happens.
