Jimmy Fallon Reacts to the First Presidential Debate
On the productiveness of the debate: "Did anyone take anything away from tonight? Was that helpful to any American? The only person who enjoyed that was Vladimir Putin while he was stroking a cat . . . honestly, sitting through that debate felt like getting a COVID test in both nostrils at once."
On Chris Wallace's moderating: "Before the debate, Chris Wallace said that if he does his job right, it'll be like he's not there — well, mission accomplished. After the debate was over, Wallace said he wanted to moderate something a little more civil like a Real Housewives reunion or a back-alley night fight."
On the lack of commercials: "Tonight's debate was presented without commercials. The only interruptions were Trump cutting off Biden and Chris Wallace every eight seconds . . . tonight's debate made history. It was the first time Americans ever watched something on TV and wished there were commercials."
