Jimmy Fallon preempted Netflix’s upcoming Fuller House reboot with a cheese-fest of his own last night on The Tonight Show. But in the absence of the Olsen twins, who declined to participate in the upcoming show, the new baby of the Tanner family is . . . “Donald Trump.”
Bob Saget showered Fallon, brilliantly in character as Trump, with a patented Full House bedtime heart-to-heart, complete with twinkly instrumentals. Naturally, Dave Coulier, John Stamos (in his signature leather jacket), Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber—all spectacularly ageless—also swooped in to quiet Trump’s fears about the presidential race.
“You guys are right. I have to stay in the race. Otherwise a Clinton will be in the White House again,” Fallon-as-Trump told the Tanners. “I mean, who wants to see something from the ’90s come back in 2016?” Another highlight: Fallon/Trump suggested building a wall to keep out Kimmy Gibbler, to which Stamos/Uncle Jesse replied: “If you really want to make America great again, you have to bring people together, not push them apart.”
Points to The Tonight Show for its re-creation of Michelle’s bedroom, right down to the pencil posts on her twin bed and the bad pastel wallpaper border. The Full House catchphrase count was also impressive: one “how rude,” one “have mercy,” and a “you got it, dude.” Cue the “awwwws.”
