President Donald Trump is thousands of miles away in the United Kingdom, but still couldn’t escape Jimmy Fallon’s ongoing shtick on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. (Watch the video below.)
The Tonight Show host on Tuesday noted Trump’s visit with King Charles and quoted reactions of the royal family.
But after a few diplomatic comments from Charles and Prince William, Fallon imagined a more unusual response from a certain disgraced royal.
“And Prince Andrew said, ‘Yes, I look forward to definitely meeting a man I have never met before, especially on a remote island,’” Fallon cracked.
That received a lot of cheers from the audience.
But the comedian wasn’t done faux-quoting him.
“And Prince Andrew said, ‘While here I’d love to speak with Trump privately about tariffs and, ahem, other stuff,’” Fallon said.
But “mostly,” the prince added through the host, “I look forward to giving Trump a few personal gifts like lighter fluid, matches, and a 500-pound lock box that can be dropped into the Thames.”
Fast-forward to 1:19 for Fallon’s royal pasting of Trump:
Prince Andrew settled a lawsuit in 2022 brought by Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was forced as a teen to have sex with Andrew by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He had already retreated from public life after a disastrous interview about Epstein with the BBC a few years earlier. (Giuffre recently died by suicide.)
Trump, an old pal of the late sex offender, has kept the Epstein scandal alive in the White House and stoked suspicion by refusing to release the publicly unread files after promising to do so.
