Jimmy Fallon used the opening monologue of the latest Tonight Show episode to roast billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. In Monday’s instalment (7 June) Fallon welcomed his first full studio audience since the pandemic began.
Bezos says his trip into space will be perfectly safe, Fallon continued, “because he’s being packed by the same people who ship Amazon boxes”.
The Amazon founder will make the journey next month, alongside his brother, he said in an Instagram post.
Fallon’s opening monologue included gags about Bezos, who made headlines this week after announcing he will launch himself to space on board one of his Blue Origin rockets.
