Jimmy Fallon used his Tuesday monologue to riff on who might replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary, cutting to a bit featuring an Amazon Alexa device programmed to repeat stock phrases like 'fake news' and 'quiet, piggy.' The joke followed reporting that Trump may skip naming a permanent replacement altogether, instead rotating top officials through briefings as he did during Leavitt's parental leave.

Fallon translated that reported plan bluntly: 'nobody wants that job.'

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
