At this point, "avoiding politics" is more of a political statement then talking politics.

"Sitting on the fence is painful" as one of my teachers once told me.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He who sits on fence, gets splinters in ass

he who sits on fence is full of shit

[–] purplerabbit@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 days ago

Always has been.

We know. Your a milquetoast pussy that will read whatever the teleprompter tells you, and you'll fuck up your lines all the same.

Not even a D level SNL alumni

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't you get it? He breaks character. He's basically Carol Burnett.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I mean he breaks character... But it's because he's not that great of a comedian or actor.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

It’s tough but fair.

The Tonight Show has always been politically neutral, or cowardly, depending on how you look at at it. I remember Johnny Carson being the same way, back in the 70s.

Yeah Fix loved saying that.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 21 points 4 days ago

The worst guy from SNL who now hosts the worst late night show doesn't want to piss off magats? Shocking

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 8 points 3 days ago

Everyone already knew Jimmy was a pussy

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Fallon, the smiling, friendly face of the 1%. With your Capital One™️ card!

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 54 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's not like he needs the money, he has nothing to lose.

Coward.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fame. Can you imagine the ego boost of having your own nightly show broadcasting worldwide?

He doesn't wanna risk it to take any stand, and because of that he'll continue to earn his place in history as anything but interesting or extraordinary.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i mean sure but also: can you imagine the ego boost of going down on the right side of history? it's not like the amount of people that would respect him for speaking out is insignificant.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Too long term for him I guess.

Reminded of the time when RuPaul put the fear of God into Jimmy Fallon.

The man is spineless and clearly doesn't know how to navigate any subject he sees as too touchy.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago
[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 days ago

yeah that’ll save you, jimmy

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

No one expected anything more from you, Fallon.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago
[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 22 points 4 days ago

If people are expecting Fallon to step up then their country is already well and truly in the bin.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 15 points 4 days ago

Milquetoast Man #2? Wow I'm shocked.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

This is fine. I don't need anymore takes from the guy responsible for that fucking tone-deaf celebrity "Imagine" video.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Jimmy has always been a punk bitch.
