The Met Gala has come and gone once again and, at least for Jimmy Fallon, it was especially difficult to figure out how to top last year’s look. The host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” made himself the butt of the joke on Monday night, saying that in 2022, when he appeared on the carpet as “Kendall Jenner’s ventriloquist dummy,” he joked .
during his monologue on Monday – which may be his last for a while, as he has Said The show is likely to go dark with the WGA strike — the “Tonight Show” host celebrated just how much excitement is happening in New York City this week, starting with the annual Met Gala.
“It was a fun night, but it was hard to top last year when I apparently showed up as Kendall Jenner’s ventriloquist dummy,” Fallon joked.
The host then pulled up an image of him on the carpet, standing behind Jenner at such an angle that he looked much smaller than he actually was. Of course, Fallon didn’t just poke fun at how he looked in years past.
Noting that this year’s gala honored designer Karl Lagerfeld, he joked that Lagerfeld himself is “basically President Biden from the year 2099.” Speaking to the challenge of choosing a costume in general, Fallon joked about how outrageous the Met could look.
“Choosing a costume can be stressful. I mean, you spend all weekend thinking, ‘Which chandelier can I turn a hat into?'” she joked.
