Earlier this week, President Joe Biden surprised absolutely no one when he announced on Wednesday that he’ll be running for reelection next year. Of course a big looming “if” hanging over this is the fact Biden is the oldest-ever president and he turns 82 in 2024.
So of course on Thursday’s episode of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon had plenty of jokes about Biden, and his age.But Fallon defended Biden, joking that POTUS is “the same age as Lincoln… if he were still alive today.” The joke being that Biden was born in 1809.First though, Fallon kicked things off with a look at this week’s state visit by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and the impressive impromptu performance of “American Pie” by Don McLean he gave at the White House. “There’s always that one friend at karaoke who knows they’re good, you know?” Fallon joked.
He also played an old newsreel clip edited to make it look like Harry Truman was singing “Unholy” by Sam Smith, which was pretty fun too.Then Fallon got into Biden’s announcement, noting that Biden told reporters that when deciding to run again, he “took a hard look at his age.” “Is it me, or does Biden always look like he’s taking a hard look,” Fallon joked as several pictures of Biden squinting appeared onscreen.“Then Biden reminded everyone that he’s the same age as Lincoln… if he were still alive today,” Fallon continued.After that, Fallon made some jokes about Biden’s very grandpa-ish demeanor at the White House’s “take your children to work day” this week, focusing on the moment when Biden was asked about his grandchildren and kind of meandered around talking about them.

President Biden’s comments drew a round of applause from the crowd, as he called for a “fair deal” to be reached “as soon as possible.” The White House had previously declined to issue a comment on the situation last week, after the Writers Guild of America called for a strike on the evening of May 1, when contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers fell apart. “Nights like these are a reminder of the power of stories and the importance of treating storytellers with the dignity, respect and value they deserve,” the President stated. “I sincerely hope that the writers strike in Hollywood gets resolved — and the writers are given the fair deal they deserve, as soon as possible. This is an iconic, meaningful American industry. We need the writers — and all the workers — and everyone involved to tell the stories of our nation. And the stories of all of us.”
